Best Hotel for Hospitality: St. Martins Lane

Courtesy of Niall Clutton.

Elevators soothe with their Asian-inspired grass imagery, and many suite walls display a single small, mounted plant. The service, however, is anything but minimalistic. Staffers greet VIPs with champagne and candy on ice, and their 24-hour room service menu is as vast as it is convenient, with fresh fruit and coffee for the early bird and ice cream and thin-cut chips for the night owl. Those in search of a drink will be welcomed to the Blind Spot, a semi-hidden bar that’s a favorite among locals, and specializes in tea-infused cocktails. StMartinsLane.com
