Best hotel lobby

The Talbott Hotel

The Four Seasons and Ritz-Carlton lobbies are discreet buffers and the pomo urge has plenty of permutations in the surge of boutiquery of the past several years. But the 1927-built Talbott Hotel, as cushy as a Victorian-era parlor or men’s club with two fabulous fireplaces, may be the closest to genteel luxe anyone who’s not a member of a downtown private club can experience with a quick hi-how-are-you. The Basil bar, in the hotel, also offers sidewalk seating in the outdoor café.
