One of my all-time favorite hotels in NY. It s the perfect combination of Gatsby and Mad Men. Through-out the hotel is charmingly decorated and you immediately feel at home in the rooms. The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. I tried both the roomservice and the breakfast, all of which was good. They even make a mean cappuccino. As most of the reviews mention, the lightening throughout the hotel and the rooms are very limited, so if you have low vision etc. this is not the place for you. My only real issue with the hotel is they apparent lack of focus towards sustainability. They still use small plastic bottles, and I was unable to identify a real sustainability/eco-friendly strategy. The gym on the 4th floor is fairly decent for a hotel, and empty most of the times I were there. Whether you decide to stay here or not I would stop by for a breakfast or a drink in the Library Lounge, which is a visit worth in itself.
