New York: Forbes Best Business Hotels In NY List

markj — 2005-04-01T09:13:46-05:00

Forbes has compiled a list of their favorite
business hotels in New York.

Their results:

Best Overall: The Peninsula
Best For Tech: Hotel Gansevoort
Best For Lawyers: Four Seasons
Best For Doctors: The Alex Hotel (photo above)
Best For Politicians: Waldorf Astoria
Best For I-Bankers: Ritz Carlton Battery Park
Best For Consultants: Ritz Carlton
Best For Film Moguls: Tribeca Grand
Best For Music Execs: Trump International
Best For CEOs: The St. Regis

Strikes us as a little odd that so many of the above hotels charge for Internet access. Guess most business folks have liberal expense accounts.
