2. Presidential Suite, St. Regis
Location: New York, New York
Luxury Trademark: Whirlpool marble baths and Louis XV furniture
-----------------------------------------
For travelers in the market for luxury, the St. Regis, another New York hotel with a lengthy pedigree, serves it up on a silver platter (to those who can pay $10,500 a day). The hefty rate buys guests a three-bedroom, four-and-half-bath suite with views of Central Park. John Jacob Astor opened the St. Regis in the early 1900s, and although much has changed in New York during the last hundred years, some things are exactly the same as they were in 1904. Each of the hotel's 16 floors is served by its own maitre d'. Guests in the Presidential Suite dine in a formal dining room with meals prepared in the full-sized kitchen by their very own staff. The living room is furnished with antiques, tapestries, Oriental rugs and Louis XV furniture. The master bedroom has silk-covered walls, and a walnut-paneled library is available to guests who want to curl up with a book at the end of the day.
