This is the hotel to visit if you want an experience close to being in an ultra-modern and stylish movie. Designed by Philippe Starck for Ian Schraeger, this hotel is so designed that even when you are in the smallest room, which is very small, you will pay more attention to the lamp or the screen-printed canvas over the bed. Each room has its own VCR, and when you arrive, you will find fresh flowers. If you have been indulging at the Dean & DeLuca gourmet shop in the lobby or at the popular Whiskey Bar, you can work out in the fitness center or assuage your guilt by getting down to work in the business center. In the Paramount Hotel: Mezzanine, Whiskey, Dean & DeLuca. Disabled guests need to make arrangements in advance.
