One Night of the Alexander McQueen Hotel Package Costs the Same as a McQueen Dress
If you think that the news of Bin Laden's death is all that's on the lips of New Yorkers right now, you'd be very wrong. Yes, that's important, but the world still turns and in a city like the Big Apple, there's never enough time to focus on just...

A Swish New Spa Is Now Open at the Plaza Athenee New York

The New Look of the Pierce Brosnan-approved Plaza Athenee
We were going to tell you all about the completion of the Plaza Athenee's renovations the other day, but then we got all flustered by the presence of the hotel's biggest fan, Pierce Brosnan, in the hotel bar, and we had to tell you that instead. Now that our heart...

Meet the Man Who Dresses Your Hotel Staff

Room with a Killer View :: The Plaza Athenee in New York
We are suckers for a room with a killer view. We find that we are even more likely to forgive some minor hotel inconveniences if we can stare out the window at something pretty--yeah we are that shallow. Let's help out our fellow hotel mavens by uploading rooms with...

Where Jack Nicholson Likes to Get Wasted In Manhattan
Celebrity spotting in New York is a fast game. The scene hops from one hip bar to new hot-chef du jour restaurant, to designer hotel faster than you can hail a cab. That's why its reassuring to remember that the classics still have their hold. Just as Pastis seems to...
