I’m a serial snooper, and who doesn’t want a glimpse inside the Carlyle Hotel, dubbed ‘The Palace of Secrets’ because of the juicy antics that go down behind closed doors?

How many celebs, you say? There was once an elevator ride that consisted of Princess Diana, Michael Jackson and Steve Jobs – let that sink in.

Other famous regulars included the likes of John F. Kennedy Jr., Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Condoleezza Rice, Jack Nicholson, George and Amal Clooney, Lenny Kravitz, Sofia Coppola, Roger Federer and the list goes on.

Always at The Carlyle looks like it could dish some spice:

What a vibe.

Via Newsweek, here are a few other nuggets:

Naomi Campbell recalls that her floor was “bangin’” in 2016, when she shared it with Stella McCartney, Rihanna and Cara Delevingne…

Another rare anecdote goes: When the Iraqi delegation to the United Nations stayed here during the second Gulf War, the FBI wanted to plant agents in room service and tap the phones. Peter Sharp, then the owner, responded, “Under no circumstances. I wouldn’t let you do it to Warren Beatty, why would I let you do it to the Iraqi delegation?”

And how about this whopper:

Everyone who stays has their initials monogrammed on their pillowcases by a woman in the basement. That is her job. (She seems happy in her work, though not easily impressed. The imminent arrival of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge was met with a shrug; Michael Jackson, however, produced a huge smile.) Those pillowcases are then stored for your return, assuming you are a regular, and there are many.

Oh, to be rich and famous.
