Old Drovers Inn, New York

While '50s film star Esther Williams insisted that everything in her favorite room be colored red, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton cozied up here after shooting Cleopatra. And Barbara Streisand rested up here before a big performance at the Grammys. While the inn's celebrated restaurant The Tap Room is on the first floor, the lobby and guest rooms are above and accessed through separate entrances. “You could spend more than a week at Old Drovers Inn and except for the chef, proprietor and maybe one housekeeper no one would ever be the wiser,” says owner David Wilson.
