Palatial style in great Midtown location
My husband and I stayed at the Palace for a weekend trip to the city. We were able to book one of the Tower rooms for a great price through Jetsetter, and with the amenities provided with the Executive Lounge it was more than worth it. The Lounge offers guests a lovely buffet breakfast every morning, snacks throughout the day, and beer/wine/drinks/appetizers in the evening--all included in the price of the room.
Our room was spacious--huge for NYC--and clean, and everything worked as it should have. Two closets including a walk-in, sumptuous linens in bath and bedroom. But the best thing about the hotel was the service. Lots of staff on hand, no waiting for anything, everyone attentive and friendly without being intrusive. We had drinks on the patio one afternoon, and dinner at Gilt one evening. Everything was absolutely top quality, from the martinis to the incredible dishes served at Gilt--but very expensive, so be prepared when the check arrives!
The location on Madison Ave. is convenient to so many things...would love to stay here again, especially if we can find a great deal on the room rate.
