Simply Brilliant and Outstanding
We stayed at an Avenue Apartment Suite for several nights. The enormously spacious living space, the brave simplicity and yet utterly elegant design were simply stunning, as were the professional and friendliness of all the staff. The Bar on 5th really astounded us in the most pleasant way when Alexis ordered a classic drink "Moscow Mule" (Ginger beer, fresh lime, vodka), an esoteric drink that was last seen at The Plaza Hotel 1970's as her parents told us. The bartender not only served it in it's traditional "Russian copper mug" but made their own ginger beer. It was truly impressive. And of course the culinary inventiveness at the Ai Fiori borders on miraculous. Will definitely return as Setai ranks right up there among our favorite hotels in NYC: The Peninsula, The Towers at the Palace as well as the Mandarin Oriental.
