Residing in a historic Beaux Arts building on the corner of Fifth Avenue and 55th Street is one of New York’s most glamorous old-school hotels, The Peninsula. The décor and clientele both embody a quiet, understated sophistication, if bordering on decadent and non-descript.
All the usual five star amenities, flawlessly executed, include a competent concierge, chaffeur-driven Minis for guest in suites, one of Manhattan's largest hotel gyms, and rooms filled with extras like chocolate, fruit, bottled water and The New York Times, as well as flat-screen TVs in the bathrooms. While the rooms are expensive, there's no price on eating breakfast in bed looking down on Fifth Avenue.
