Fodor's Expert Review Millennium Knickerbocker Hotel

This 1927 hotel has had a number of identities—including the Speak Easy for Ralph Capone to a 1970s stint as the Playboy Hotel and Towers under owner Hugh Hefner; these days the guest rooms sport a gold, beige, plum, and espresso color palette. Your downtime is well spent in the Lobby Bar, which offers seasonally inspired cocktails and live jazz piano most nights.
