GREENWICH HOTEL GETS GOLD STATUS
Condé Nast Traveler released its 2020 Gold List (it’s worth scrolling through the ones in more exoctic locales than ours) of the world’s best hotels, resorts and cruises and the Greenwich Hotel made the list, one of five in the city.

But the enduring revelation is the Shibui Spa, where the lantern-lit pool glimmers under the beams of a 250-year-old Japanese farmhouse.”
