A Splendid Hotel in a Splendid Location
I doubt you can do much better than this in midtown Manhatten - yes its pricey in comparison to the `norm` but if you can afford to push the boat out, you`ll soon spot the difference and be glad you did. We booked seven nights in a Premier King but ended up with a free upgrade to a St Patrick`s room with a 25th floor view over Madison Ave & 50th/51st Streets - overlooking the cathedral and the Rockefeller Centre.
Service was very good from start to finish, the concierge staff are extremely helpful and, as has been mentioned, the rooms are large & very comfortable. The building itself is fabulously pretty and an absolute pleasure to stroll around to take photographs.
A five minute stroll to the shops on 5th Avenue - a ten minute walk to Central Park in the North with a similar jaunt to Times Square in the opposite direction.
Fabulous.
