The London NYC, New York: Penthouse Suite

Whisking up to this duplex suite on the 53rd and 54th floors of The London NYC leaves little question as to why a room at the top is worth the elevator trip. The penthouse’s 2,500 square feet offers 180-degree views of the city; the bathroom’s soaking tub overlooks both Central Park and the skyline. Custom furnishings by interior designer David Collins appear throughout, and a professional kitchen makes it easy for the chefs from the Gordon Ramsay–led restaurants in the hotel to work their magic. With amenities that close at hand, why ever leave? From $2,999; 151 W. 54th St., 866-690-2029; thelondonnyc.com.
