01. The Carlyle

A private hideaway on Manhattan’s Upper East Side

Some of the finest plastic surgeons on the UES have arrangements with this hotel for their patients. For example, the hotel gives a discount to patients of Park Avenue Plastic Surgery, and the doctors are nearby in case you need a house call. Even if you aren’t enjoying the classic cocktails in Bemelmans Bar or music at the Café Carlyle, you’re still sure to feel better at this uptown Art Deco classic. With 188 rooms, the hotel is large enough to assure anonymity, but offers a personal level of service, such as direct dial to the pharmacy, that can help you feel better fast.
