Concierge.com's insider take:
The 339 rooms at this swank Gold Coaster, aptly located next to Tiffany, are patrician and huge (the smallest start at 530 square feet). Avoiding flash for understated glamour, they glow in a fitting palette of soft golds. The sense of luxury follows you into the marble bathrooms, which include in-tub TVs, hands-free phones, a soaking tub, and a separate shower. Tech-friendly features range from complimentary Wi-Fi to a multifunction bedside control panel that adjusts temperature, lights, and curtains, meaning you'll never have to get out of bed. The penthouse spa and its mammoth lap pool, though, will probably get you moving. So will the Peninsula's four restaurants, including the acclaimed Avenues (now helmed by chef Curtis Duffy) and the Chinese jewel-box Shanghai Terrace (dine alfresco in the summer). And then there's the weekly calendar of food events: A Thursday ice-cream social stars sundaes, Key lime parfaits, and dreamsicles; afternoon tea gets a fashionable update on Fridays; and a weekend chocolate bar transports you to a candy-land fantasia.
