Room at The New York Helmsley Hotel, New York, NYQueen Leona may be gone, but her legacy---the positive part of it, anyway---lives on at this hotel near the United Nations. Don't be alarmed if the U-shaped driveway is so clogged with Jaguars, BMWs and Range Rovers that guests wait to enter. The hotel doesn't double as a high-end auto dealership, that's just the kind of clientelle who are attracted to a property of this caliber. In fact, every aspect of this establishment is efficient and modern in a nondescript, contemporary fashion. The 788 rooms are spacious and airy, with access to the kind of white-gloved service associated with the best of the best. Amenities include no less than three dual-line phones with data ports (it is, after all, a business district) and complimentary Wi-Fi among the numerous standard amenities. For dining, tri-level Mindy’s restaurant offers modern American cuisine, while Harry’s Bar, a great choice for happy hour, keeps up its reputation for martinis.
