The Absolute Chicest Boutique Hotels In NYC

Hugging the Hudson River at the end of NYC's Financial District, 47-key Casa Cipriani recently opened after a massive makeover transforming it from a neglected 1909-built beaux art-expressionist edifice to modish members club and hotel. The luxe outpost stretches five levels up: chic accommodations, a jazz club, restaurant, private club and lounge, plus wellness center fill the floors. Décor-wise, expect lacquered mahogany, refined furniture, and an overall look made to reflect an elegant Art Deco ocean liner.
