"The service is flawless, from the tuxedoed waiters to the housekeeping staff, who at turndown leave behind pitchers of water, chocolates, and—surprise!—kiwis."

Fodor's

Riverside rooms command higher rates, but you can be sure the Rolling Stones and opera star Montserrat Caballé splurged on them.
