A showbiz darling when it opened in 1985, the sleek, ultramodern Diva won "Best Hotel Design" from Interiors magazine. A profusion of curvaceous glass, marble, and steel marks the Euro-tech lobby; and the minimalist rooms are spotless and neat, with fashionable "Italian modern" furnishings of monochromatic colors, silver, and wood. Enormous headboards are made of polished stainless steel meant to evoke the bow of a ship. Personally, I find the hotel a little on the cold side (figuratively speaking). But toys and services abound, and fitness and business centers complete the package. The downside is that these rooms have views that make you want to keep the chic curtains closed. Pets aren't just welcome, they have their own hotel package deal, which includes a daily dog walk, "Diva Dog Tag," and sheepskin throw rug to insure a restful night. (Now that's ruffing it!) Insider tip: Reserve one of the rooms ending in 09, which have extra-large bathrooms with vanity mirrors and makeup tables.
