Old School New York Charm
We took advantage of a 3rd night free promotion and booked a room in the Towers on the 33rd floor.
The room was very quiet and comfortable and we had a fabulous view looking uptown and at Central Park over the roof of the Met.
The staff is fantastic, very attentive and friendly, but understated. Even though the Carlyle is known as an old school New York society venue, we felt perfectly comfortable coming & going in sneakers, shorts & t-shirts for our afternoon excursions, while getting 'dressed to the nines' for our evening outings, ending with a nite cap at Bemelmans Bar.
Fabulous location - walk to Central Park, the Met & other museums, short train ride or cab to midtown. 
We felt so at home we didn't want to leave!
