Hotels Charlie Sheen Has Stayed At

The Artists’ Gate Suite has 13 large windows overlooking Central Park and Sixth Avenue, plus a billiards room—a particularly expansive expression of this hotel’s Manhattan townhouse aesthetic. Across the 253-room Ritz-Carlton New York, Central Park, wood accents, curated artwork and residential furnishings carry that idea through rooms and suites, with park views available in select accommodations. Its Central Park South address puts the park at the center of a stay, while Contour Gastro Lounge and Bar supplies a gathering place from morning coffee through dinner. The bar’s daily Manhattan Minute offers a small local ritual: a taste of its namesake cocktail, a little cocktail history and a recipe card to take home.

Afternoon tea beneath The Palm Court’s soaring stained-glass dome gives The Plaza Hotel its clearest expression: formal, theatrical, and deeply attached to New York tradition. Architect Thierry Despont’s renovation drew on nearby Central Park, bringing ceiling-high palms, trellis details, and cane-accented furnishings into a room that has been part of the hotel since 1907. Outside, Fifth Avenue meets Central Park South; inside, restored reception rooms and elaborate guest-room finishes sustain the sense of occasion. The 282 rooms and suites include guest rooms with sitting areas, mosaic bathroom floors, and gold-plated Sherle Wagner fixtures, while the Legacy Suites introduce commissioned art and a more contemporary residential style. It’s a hotel whose public spaces deserve as much attention as its bedrooms.
