This luxurious abode is not a formulaic, paint-by-numbers hotel. Its designer credentials are clear everywhere, from the unusual tiled floors to the extraordinary furnishings, which seem to have been drawn from every corner of the globe. Even the entrance is unique: You walk into a guests-only lift and are swept up to the fifthth-floor lobby. Sit for a second in the lobby and someone will offer you tea, cocktails, water -- anything that crosses your mind can be yours in a second. Rooms, some of them split-level, are filled with high-tech gadgets to keep you in touch with the office back home, and a handy jar of jellybeans, should you feel the need for something sweet. When you're not working, you can relax on the butter-soft leather sofa in front of the fireplace, recline on the exquisite bed linens and feather duvets, or luxuriate in the marble bath. A "whatever, whenever" button on the telephone connects you with the helpful, amiable staff who provide exactly that.
