"We would know because here at Esquire we make it our job to see what's new and what's goodsee our Best New Hotels list here. But staying someplace fresh and new is just one way to travel. There's also something about a hotel that has already stood the test of time. It's become synonymous with its city. It might be the sole reason to visit a particular place at all. We want to honor those hotels, too. Welcome to Esquire's Hotel Hall of Fame."
"Well, the doors need to have been open for five or more years for consideration. (You'll find one property on this list that has been at the top of its game for five times thatand another that debuted way back in 1910!) But it's not just longevity that makes a place Hall of Fame worthy. It also needs to have been a constant in its communitydefining or shaping the very region in which it stands."
"Perched above the marina (an easy walk down the hill will let you yacht-gaze more closely), across the street from the casino, and surrounded by the finest shops from all the finest luxury brandsin the world. But just wait until you're inside the place. The cavernous lobby, buzzing with fabulous people. The multi-floor, subterranean spa. The onsite shopping. The restaurants! We haven't even gotten to the room yet, which is somehow more exciting than, and a total respite from, all the hubub below."
A Hotel Hall of Fame honors long-standing hotels that shape their communities and become synonymous with their cities. Eligible hotels must have been open at least five years and demonstrate sustained cultural and regional influence. Recent inductees include a New York City institution, a Monte-Carlo property suited for royalty, and a San Francisco hilltop gem. Fourteen hotels currently hold Hall of Fame status, reflecting decades of excellence with no apparent end to their prominence. The Hotel de Paris in Monte-Carlo exemplifies this with a prime marina-front location, a cavernous lobby, multi-floor subterranean spa, onsite shopping, restaurants, and rooms offering respite from the hubbub.
