The hotel from celebrity chef Nobu Matsuhisa and partner Robert DeNiro is a sleek foodie haven tucked inside the Caesars Palace complex.

The amenities are all worthy of the celeb owners (and guests), from the Italian linens to the hand-hewn chairs. There are also a host of high-tech touches, like a Nobu app, in-room iPad check-in, and buttonless elevators (they get activated by your key card), plus 55-inch flat-screens with Apple connectivity. Guests also enjoy a dedicated concierge, but the real perks are aimed at the stomach: priority reservations at the Nobu restaurant downstairs (the largest in the world) and an exclusive Nobu-crafted room-service menu.

Named for the small, charming "North of Madison" (as in, Madison Square Park) neighborhood in which it's located, this upscale-bohemian property features a gorgeous design by Jacques Garcia, a restaurant by award-winning chef Daniel Humm of Eleven Madison Park fame, and a destination cocktail bar.

Eco-minded travelers will appreciate that Pan Pacific is one of the greenest companies in Washington. Part of a luxury condo development, the hotel offers guests access to a 24-hour fitness center with a large jetted whirlpool.

World-class from head to toe, this 5th Avenue Beaux-Arts landmark comes as close to flawless as any hotel in New York, with tech-savvy rooms, historic touches, and the iconic and newly renovated King Cole Bar. Butlers have been catering to the whims of each and every guest since the St. Regis first opened its doors in 1904, a touch no other New York hotel can match. Rooms have high ceilings, crystal chandeliers, vivid fabrics, and crown moldings—along with easy-to-use bedside consoles for controlling lighting, audio, climate, and huge flat-screen TVs that rise from the foot of your bed. Even at these prices, though, you're not guaranteed a stellar view or a separate tub in the more basic rooms. Still, if you require the best, the St. Regis delivers. The \"designer suites\" are outfitted in one-of-a-kind style by Dior and Bentley and have fabulous views. Dine in the legendary King Cole Bar, a dimly lit institution with the famously playful Maxfield Parrish mural, and keep your eye out for historic touches throughout the property, like an original mail chute in the lobby.

This modern architectural statement is perpetually one of New York's hottest hotels, with the High Line running underneath it, a lobby full of glamorous types, an authentic beer garden (open year-round; dig the table tennis), and an 18th-floor nightclub that is one of the toughest doors in town. Rooms, with low platform beds, are on the small side (even by New York standards) but floor-to-ceiling windows add a sense of space. Some rooms have showers separated from the bedroom by little more than a glass partition. As you'd expect in a space (and neighborhood) that's so sceney, it can get loud at night. The Standard Grill restaurant, which is almost always packed, handles room service.

Guest rooms have simple, rustic-chic decor, rain forest or volcano views, and free Wi-Fi.

A small dining room hosts a continental breakfast and has a vending machine with unusual items like Japanese snacks and hangover cures. This is a very specific experience and aesthetic: if you're not soothed (or stimulated) by the stripped-down quality of the rooms or not amused by finding a copy of the Kama Sutra where the Bible would be, you may want to stay elsewhere.
