63. The Villard Houses at the New York Palace Hotel

MIDTOWN EAST.   New York's luxurious Palace Hotel has a secret. Although much of the hotel looks sleek and modern, the historic 1882 Villard Houses actually make up the public areas and surround the picturesque courtyard, giving the Palace a graceful blend of Renaissance-style charm and contemporary style. The Villard Houses were once six individual mansions, whose unique design was inspired by Rome's Palazzo della Cancelleria. TRAIN: B, D, F, Q to 47-50th Sts   (© 10Best)
