An old-world hotel that's still excellent and modern, with a distinctly old-school and wildly popular celeb-attracting downstairs restaurant (mains $34 to $69) and bar that continues to be a center of the social scene. An ideal choice for any lover of European elegance and efficiency. If you can get it, there's a split-level attic apartment on the top floor.
