Rooms: The 110 rooms and 25 suites range from $525 to $1,200, and no two are alike. Touches include embroidered linens and blankets, worn Oriental rugs and hardwood floors. Each white marble bathroom includes a rain shower outfitted with oxidized brass fixtures.
Food: Guests can enjoy rustic Italian dishes at Gemma, a slightly caricatural incarnation of a country farmhouse with amusing touches like wax-drenched candelabra and walls lined with wine bottles. Try the delicious Fiori di Zucca, ricotta-stuffed zucchini flowers, washed down with an Aperol Spritz, a refreshing mix of aperol, prosecco and seltzer.
Bar: The Lobby Bar has become one of Manhattan's most popular nightspots. The velvet sofas and dark wood paneling, along with the expansive open-air patio, make it the perfect place to enjoy the signature cocktail, The Bowery, a blend of gin, Dubonnet, champagne and bitters.
