What the classifiers highlight

Spread across 250 acres, the grounds carry a three-tiered pool complex whose lowest level keeps the original hand-tiled mother-of-pearl basin. Forbes counts 645 rooms and suites in all, guest rooms at 600 square feet, and highlights afternoon tea with a live pianist and J&G Steakhouse, where Jean-Georges Vongerichten's menu centers on fish and prime cuts.
