What Are The Most Beautiful Five-Star Hotels In North America And Caribbean?

It's also a huge draw to those craning for a front-row view of the dancing fountains, and there's no better spot than a room overlooking the action. We've reviewed the balcony room facing the fountains and can confirm it's one of the best rooms on the Strip. Plus, in what's clearly a competitive field, they might have one of the best buffets in Las Vegas, though that's subject to change in a post-pandemic world.

2.The Plaza in New York City

Since its debut on October 1, 1907, The Plaza Hotel has remained a New York icon hosting world leaders, dignitaries, captains of industry, Broadway legends, and Hollywood royalty. As an established staple for lavish society affairs and blockbuster films, The Plaza has welcomed guests from around the world to enjoy its magic at the castle on Central Park South for more than 100 years. Ideally situated on Fifth Avenue, The Plaza’s prestigious address continues to define elegance with unmatched service and an ever-evolving modern sensibility.

This is an independent hotel in a city that is predominantly ruled by large corporations and conglomerates. The location of the hotel is about as well-connected as you could possibly expect. Located on Grand Army Plaza, you can literally treat Central Park as your own personal backyard. In addition to that, all the regular tourist spots are around the neighborhood, and as you leave the hotel you are met with The Apple Store, Wollman Ice Rink, and other trendy locations and stores.

This boutique hotel is quite favored by European travelers and celebrities alike. One of the things that sets it apart is its attentive and friendly staff. Guests have to pass by lush gardens to enter the hotel, the lobby features an antique French desk, and you have to pass by cascades of wreathed flowers as you make your way to the elevators. The bathrooms are made in all-marble, with fine Italian furniture and linen. In fact, one might even say that the bathrooms have been treated with greater reverence than entirely necessary, for instance, is it really necessary to have the sinks and faucets plated in 24-carat gold?
