When we walked in, we had just gotten off our plane and had our first crazy taxi cab experience. We were both dressed casually and I immediately felt embarrassed because not only was everyone who worked their dressed to the T, so were the guests. It seemed like there were many business men and women but almost everyone was wearing a suit. They do have a huge focus on business meetings though so that does not surprise me. They have private conference rooms and upscale meeting areas but we also saw a lot of meetings happening in the restaurant or in the bar area.
We did have a hard time getting an appointment for a couple’s massage at a time that worked for us but that was not fault of theirs. They seemed pretty booked.
This was one of the coolest rooms I have ever stayed in, coming in second to our room at Vdara in Las Vegas. The fridge was stocked with sparking and still water as well as a variety of sodas. My favorite thing about this hotel? SNACK TIME. Everyday at 4 they would bring you a snack. We had cookies, small fruit pastries, homemade pretzels and chocolates delivered to our door. They also turn down the bed every night around 7 PM. They lay your slippers out, clean the room for the second time of the day, put relaxing jazz music on the TV and leave a cookie on the bed. We were so spoiled for the week we were here.
The hotel is in a fantastic area and we were really close to some of the most popular attractions in NYC. We were able to walk to almost everything we wanted to see there.
I love love love this hotel. I don’t think another hotel in NYC could have topped this one.
