Book NowNew York Palace Review
Want the privileged Gossip Girl experience? Stay at these connected mansions, built in the 1880s by railroad baron Henry Villard and supposedly populated by Serena van der Woodsen, circa 2009. In the lobby, with its sweeping staircases, golden chandeliers, and arched colonnades, you'll find the two-Michelin-star restaurant Gilt. Standard rooms in the main section of the hotel are done up in warming beige and marble, but they are hardly exceptional. The better option is rooms in the tower: either modern or classic, depending on the floor, they have more luxe decor and bathrooms, separate check-in, and more attentive service, with a dedicated concierge and a butler. Many hotel rooms, as well as the 7,000-square-foot health club, have terrific views of St. Patrick's Cathedral.

If ever there was a dream-come-true wedding destination, this is it. The lobby, with its sweeping staircases, golden chandeliers, and arched colonnades, and the gorgeous courtyard, with its 15th-century Italian-style motifs, is what Manhattan sophistication is all about. The ballroom is a luxurious locale for a fête; for a small affair, triplex suites have private rooftops and views of Rockefeller Center.

AMcanadian, from Florida
Had the pleasure of staying at The Palace for 3 days just before Christmas 2008 due to the special rate they offered. I am always nervous about "discounted" rooms in expensive hotels because more often than not you end up in a shabby closet. Our standard room, in the main building, overlooked St. Patrick's Cathedral. It was traditional, yes, but updated spacious and comfortable. I was delighted and would recommend this hotel wholeheartedly.
