The past decade saw a boomlet in high-end, ultra-luxury hotels in the city, as chains like Rosewood, W and Intercontinental arrived atop the real estate bubble. They brought personalized pampering such as butlers, luxury sedan shopping shuttles and hot stone spa treatments, all at nightly rates ranging into the high hundreds.
