Welcome to Haute Living Hotel Madness! Our curators have carefully selected the most luxurious hotels in New York, Miami, Los Angeles and San Francisco. In our haute spin on March Madness, 16 top-rated hotels in each of the four markets will compete against each other. Once a winner is declared in each city, the regional champions will face off. We’ll declare a market champion leading to the Final Four, then finally crown a national favorite. The single hotel remaining at the end of the tournament will be lauded with the distinction of being our ever-discerning readers’ favorite hotel in America.
Here are the hotels remaining in Round 2.
THE PLAZA
THE MANDARIN ORIENTAL
THE WALDORF-ASTORIA
THE PENINSULA
THE FOUR SEASONS
HOTEL PLAZA ATHÉNÉE
THE ST. REGIS NEW YORK
THE RITZ-CARLTON, CENTRAL PARK
Check out HauteHotelMadness and support your favorite NY Hotel. Round 2 voting is open.
