6 Columbus

COST: $$$$

<p>With a faux fur–clad lobby, Jetsons-style leather chairs, and mod prints by photographer Guy Bourdin, 6 Columbus presents an opportunity to revel in 1960's nostalgia. The hotel's 88 rooms—designed by Steven Sclaroff, the man behind the look of the Kate Spade stores—have Eames bedside lamps, groovy backlit circular mirrors in navy-tiled bathrooms, custom linen–dressed beds, and lots of teak paneling. An outpost of downtown's perennially packed Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill, off the lobby, is a popular spot where you may find yourself sipping saketinis beside media moguls from the neighboring Time Warner Center.</p>
