Hvorfor folk elsker det
- Historic 'Peacock Alley' where Winston Churchill and Frank Sinatra once walked
- Thomas Keller's Michelin-starred restaurant is literally downstairs
- Richard Meier's glass towers make every room feel like a floating cloud
Hurtig oversikt: It’s ruinously expensive, but for once, the 'old money' aesthetic actually feels authentic rather than staged.
Gjennomgått av @Nikkicast: I stayed in this oceanfront room and honestly, the view is even better in person. Waking up to the colors of the Atlantic and having coffee on this glass-walled balcony was the highlight of my trip. It is the ultimate recharge spot.
