It may have as its midtown neighbors a series of tightly packed skyscrapers, but inside, the 54-story London hotel (formerly the Rihga Royal) is an unexpected oasis. Many of the London's 562 minimalist white-and-gray suites are larger than some Manhattan apartments, and many have their own living room (with a snooze-inducing leather rocking chair and a massive velour chaise) and an ergonomic dark-wood desk. Aside from Gordon Ramsay's latest eponymous restaurant, there's also his more casual London Bar, a chic glassed-in room where the diners' bling adds to the glow of the chandeliers. Unless you're planning a special event, skip the on-site concierge services of Quintessentially, which are more showy than revolutionary.
