The paparazzi were waiting outside as I lugged my overnight bag into the hotel lobby and for a moment they contemplated an explosion of flashbulbs. It didn't take them long, however, to realize I was no celeb -- just a fortunate soul spending a night at the marvelous Peninsula Hotel. Housed in a beauty of a landmark Beaux Arts building, the Peninsula is the perfect combination of old-world charm and modern, state-of-the-art technology. Rooms are huge with plenty of closet and storage space, but best of all is the bedside control panel that allows you to regulate lighting, television, stereo, air-conditioning, and signal the DO NOT DISTURB sign on your door. Even though you really don't have to leave the comfort of your bed, eventually you will need to go to the bathroom, and when you do, you'll not be disappointed. The huge marble bathrooms all have spacious soaking tubs with yet another control panel at your fingertips including the controls for, in most rooms, a television so you can watch while taking your bubble bath (now that's happy excess). The Peninsula also features one of the best and biggest New York hotel health clubs and spas, the rooftop Pen-Top Bar, and a faultless concierge desk. All this wonderfulness, however, doesn't come cheap, but if a splurge is what you want, you won't do much better than the Peninsula. Facilities:Restaurant; rooftop bar; library-style lounge for afternoon tea and cocktails; tri-level rooftop health club and spa w/treatment rooms, heated pool, exercise classes, whirlpool, sauna, and sun deck; 24-hr. concierge; business center; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning In rooms: A/C, TV w/pay movies, fax, minibar, hair dryer, laptop-size safe, complimentary "water bar" w/5 choices of bottled water, T1 Internet connectivity, wireless Internet.

Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
