Completely renovated in 2008, The New York Palace's standard rooms are large (360 square feet), and have all the essential comforts -- sateen bed linens and plush, pillow-top mattresses; a 42-inch Panasonic flat-screen TV; an iPod hookup on the alarm clock; and a quality minibar. But the Towers Royal Suites (pictured here) are decorated in a lavish, gilded style unlike any other New York hotel room.
