"A large-scale photograph of an Icelandic horse at check-in is the first clue that this hotel thinks outside the box; the second is the floor-to-ceiling Angel Oak photos that make the elevator feel like a treehouse. A hotel favorite especially with New Yorkers, The Restoration's urban aesthetic, spacious rooms, and cutting-edge photography installations make it a trendy treat. Be sure to check out rooftop restaurant The Watch, where the small bites menu includes crab cakes and raw oysters. This place is all about the little details: the butter-soft gray bathrobes, the designer bicycles with built-in baskets, the intriguing coffee table books that line the library bookshelf next to a mounted alligator skull. Join the Insider's program to enjoy freebies like continental breakfast, delivered with a soft knock on the door and tucked into a leather-clasped wicker picnic basket. They're so attractive that the staff has occasionally had to remind guests not to make off with them!" - CNT Editors
