And while sheiks and CEOs settling into the suites will find it difficult to choose where to bunk—New York Palace, Ritz-Carlton Central Park, Four Seasons or Mandarin Oriental—arrivals headed to Standard and Deluxe rooms will find this to be the perhaps the best of the bunch.

Travel + Leisure
"Since opening in late 2006, the London may have received less press than its Gordon Ramsay-run in-house restaurant, but this elegant, all-suite hotel justly deserves its own following." Full review
