HAROLD S VANDERB I LT PENTHOUSE INTERCONTINENTAL BARCLAY, NEW YORK Art Deco styling and Federalist decor come together in the Harold S Vanderbilt Penthouse suite.

Inside, the elegant suite has high ceilings and nods to its history throughout the design, including images of the Vanderbilt family and old maps of New York City. The large living area has a residential feel, with a fireplace, several seating areas and a dining table, as well as nine 46-in televisions. From$25,000 per night.
