Graycliff Hotel, New Providence

The celebrity and royalty guests who frequent this opulent hideaway are too numerous to list. Kings, Presidents and international superstars come here when they want to escape for a while. According to legend, the hotel was originally a sea captain's mansion, but over the centuries it evolved into a church, then a stately private home, and finally an exclusive five-star hotel. Lushly landscape and exquisitely furnished, it is a second home to some of the world's most privileged travelers. The hotel's restaurant is equally renowned and luxurious.
