24 Hours In NY...the best part.

The hotel allowed an early check in. From the moment we walked into the hotel an ethereal calm drifted into us. It felt like we were in an undersea world, subdued lighting, blues, whites, stark satisfying decor all around. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The room had a view, not of another building 10 feet away, but it was a clear view of a city block.

Walking through the winding corridor brought to mind an ocean liner with portholes on room doors. The ship theme continued in the room with porthole cut outs next to each bed holding a telephone and bedside light. The bathroom was tiled from floor to ceiling in rough mossy squares. Soft yet striking designer features from light fixtures to the sink and bath products were welcoming after a sweltering city day.

Though you are in the most fabulous city in the world....you could easily stay in the room and order room service, or treat yourself to an incredibly stocked mini bar. Soft down comforters to cuddle and comfort as you settle into the quiet of a beautifully designed space....all yours for the night.
