Presidential Suite
Key selling points: Located on floor 32, this immense retreat boasts a full kitchen, dining room, tricked-out media room, and sizable work station, plus a spacious spa-style bath with his and her showers, steam shower, and Jacuzzi.
Standout service: A bellman noticed that a guest had left belongings in the backseat of a taxi, but couldn’t catch the driver’s eye as he raced away, so he hopped on a motorcycle and chased the driver down to retrieve the items.
