AAA Diamond Inspector Notes

Rooms at this sleek property feature glass closets, high-tech accessories and large bathrooms with designer marble finishes and huge walk-in showers. A calm, sophisticated business-like mood pervades. The hotel offers the luxury boutique experience but with some interactive twists that stray from the traditional luxury model. There is no front desk, and the “the walls come down” as service staff are well-trained "hosts" who take care of all your needs. The lively bar features communal tables and a wide-open design, where you may feel like you're right in the kitchen or behind the bar watching staff create unique cocktails and tapas. Popular with business people during the week and leisure travelers on the weekend, some rooms feature stunning views to the landmark New York Public Library facade. Smoke free premises. 184 units, some two bedrooms. 14 stories, interior corridors. Bath: shower only. Accessibility (Call).
