Set on a on a residential tree-lined avenue, this low key but luxurious hotel is so committed to privacy that its spa and gym are reserved for guests only. Other touches make it feel like home, which long-term residents like actor James Woods adore. Once operated as one of the best apartment buildings in town, the inviting lobby is called a living room. Every guest is offered personal residence cards and stationary with their name, fax and phone number. The room entrances are recessed, which makes for a more residential feel, and they even have doorbells. And if you’re hungry at 2 a.m., you can get anything from the normal menu 24 hours a day with no extra charge for room service (celebrities appreciate that too).
