Bruce Buck
The St. Regis New York
Housed in a 1904 Beaux Arts landmark building along Fifth Avenue, this Midtown hotel is steeped in both art and history. Salvador Dali was a frequent patron (along with his wife, Gala, and pet ocelot, Babou); guests can follow in his footsteps by booking the 5th Avenue Suite, the artist’s go-to for long-term stays. Rooms feature marble tiled entryways and elegant custom furnishings, and the hotel’s Designer Suites include collaborations with world-famous luxury brands like Tiffany & Co. and Bentley Motors. (To reserve, call 212-339-6717.) Downstairs, the hotel’s King Cole Bar is the birthplace of the Bloody Mary cocktail (known there as the Red Snapper) and the home of American illustrator Maxwell Parrish’s famed Old King Cole mural. (Rooms, from $995)
