re: Luxury NYC Hotels Recs?

I have. Room was incredibly nice and huge. Got an upgrade through Amex FHR to a Junior Suite. The closet was bigger than some NYC hotel rooms I've stayed in. Beautiful woodwork with built ins.

Main room was one big room with large L shaped sectional, desk and a king bed. Really nice quality. Didn't have a terrace though. I think the building may have been designed to be residential as the front desk said some rooms have kitchens.

Bath was typical 5 star, nice amenities (razor, comb, toothbrush, nail file, etc. along with all the usual large size toiletries) deep tub, huge shower, and double vanity. I remember my wife saying the lighting was good in it.

Only complaint, is that there is not a lobby "scene". It is small with a front desk and elevators bank only. The restaurant and bar are on the second floor. We had the included FHR breakfast there as well as room service and both were good.

Location is not bad, kind of no mans land, but I think it's a plus. You can get uptown or downtown easily.

I'd stay there again.
