Beautiful hotel! Charming room and comfy bed.
Breakfast was overpriced
Location, buzzy atmosphere/sophisticated and tasteful decor, the staff, very comfortable room, nothing appeared to be too much trouble.
Communal areas a bit limited for space. Lovely if no one else around but there always are people around.
Decor and location were excellent . The room very comfortable.
I had to ask several times for a bed to be put in our room for our grown up daughter, even though I confirmed the booking was for three people prior to arrival . I found that the staff were ok , not great . I just felt their service was perfunctory and not the standard expected . Breakfast was again just ok . It could be so much better . Three people on a table designed for two is eminently unsuitable, especially when staff were so slow at removing dirty plates . Also the pastry and bread choices were very limited. Absolutely not value for money . Poor.
Great location, very comfortable, lovely interior design, a treat! Staff very helpful!
It would be nice to have a coffee/tea station in the room.It appears to be an American trend not to include breakfast in the rates as a given?All the taxes that are added on at the end, rates should include the taxes, after all they don’t change?
Beautiful. Staff focused on hospitality and cares about guests. Love the ability to drop key at front desk. Great restaurant.
Almost everything slightly light on lifts but really well decorated rooms good bathrooms buzzy bar/restaurant area
Very little
Beautiful hotel! Charming room and comfy bed.
Breakfast was overpriced
The design, the cleanliness
Service at the restaurant was sluggish
Frederick at concierge was very helpful with shipping my boxes and was eager to please. Entire entry staff was perfect
everythingromm was very comfortabledesing is coolexcellent locationnice stuffamazing food
loved loved loved the interior. Bought two books by the designer which theybsell at the hotel. The rooms are beautiful and very spacious and comfortable. The food in the restaurant was delicious, breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner.
Beautiful, boutique feel hotel in the heart of mid-town. The bar/restaurant played live jazz on the night it arrived and a trio the following night. My room was a junior suite and it was spacious. Bathroom had. a deep tub with a TV.
Room service-breakfast eggs were cold.
Great location, clean, pleasant and courteous staff, awesome food and drinks! Will definitely stay with this family of hotels going forward.
The hotel has a high concept interior design - it's like walking into a Wes Anderson film. But I don't like Wes Anderson movies. Great attention to design details in the restaurant and main floor lobby. High quality fabrics used on the dining room chairs. Great subway access just one-half block away allows a two-stop arrival in the theater district.
Housekeeping was a total bust. They twice cleaned the room but neglected to refill the coffee maker with fresh capsules or take away the used ones. They also left our dirty coffee cups sitting on the credenza. And one night, after turndown service, there were long black hairs in one of the bathroom sinks - a total ick moment. The total paid for a four night stay was $6,000. That money would be better spent at the Baccarat which I plan to return to. Also, after one breakfast in the dining room, we vowed never to return.
Everything - the style, the location, the kindness of the staff…
The art decor, the location and the friendly staff who was there to help with everything and even very good recommendations.
The big rooms, lovely bathroom, comfy bed and the very beautiful bar area.
the decor, location and the people
loved everything
