Hotel Monaco

This Kimpton property continues to earn its reputation for amenities. Take the nightly wine reception beneath the fabulously painted ceiling of the lobby. Or the director of pet relations who takes care of creature comforts, literally—right down to “loaning” goldfish to petless guests through concierge services. Or the yoga program, which includes a dedicated TV channel and a mat in each of the Monaco’s 189 colorfully decorated rooms. It should go without saying that the fitness center is unusually well equipped and the restaurant, Panzano, counts among the best in town for modern Italian fare. But we’re saying it anyway.
