Chambers is chic, intimate and pimped out with contemporary art. Its 77 rooms are simple yet elegant, with plush cushions on wood-frame beds, and concrete-floor bathrooms with superlative water pressure. South-facing rooms are more expensive but offer the most natural light. Personal trainers are available in their small on-site gym, and Fifth Ave's upmarket department stores are a bag-swing away.
