First Time in Manhattan...Beautiful Hotel Close to NYC Top Sites/Attractions
I was in Manhattan, May of 2011 for a private event for a week, with days to free to explore the city. Arriving at the Warwick Melrose New York Hotel, I was immediately impressed and pleased. It was my first time in Manhattan, and the hotel was just as breathtaking at the pictures I had seen online! I felt like I was thrown back in time with it's gold trimmed "The Warwick" sign. Immediately we were greeted by the doorman who helped us with our bags to get situated. Inside was just as beautiful with gold trim and cream walls. The front desk was very helpful and had all the pamphlets and maps we needed for city touring. I didn't realize how close the hotel is to Time Square and many other attractions like the Museum of Modern Art - what a huge plus! Our room was beautiful, spacious and comfortable, complete with mini bar and living room with good sized working desk (took full advantage of my laptop with WiFi) and separate from the bedroom and bathroom. There were complementary bottles of water on a try on the living room table with a welcome note - what a nice touch! We enjoyed breakfast a couple of times in the restaurant and it was so delicious! They even made my favorite Cafe Mocha coffee drink although it was not on the menu. This was during the 2011 basketball playoffs so one night I enjoyed watching the game in their bar - "Randolph's". The bar is also very cool because one side is lined with windows that face the street so you can people watch. New York is truly the city that never sleeps! From the staff to the accommodations to location, this is an amazing hotel. I will be staying here the next time we are in Manhattan! Thanks for a lovely time and fantastic hospitality!
