My friends and I spent a Friday and Saturday at the Hotel Elysee during New York City's Restaurant Week and had a fabulous time. The room, with two double beds, was spacious enough for three women and the hotel was centrally located to all of the restaurants where we were dining for Restaurant Week. Plus, great shopping was all just steps from the hotel! And we LOVED the bathroom amenities. The room was quiet and well-appointed and it was so nice to come back after shopping and relax in the Club Room with a glass of wine and some cheese. And then after our Broadway Show we came back and had tea and cookies! On Saturday morning, the complimentary Continental Breakfast was great -- as was the use of the free computer and printer in the Club Room. Plus the staff was so fabulous -- they cleaned out our coffee cups from the car when they valet parked it and the front desk clerk gave us directions to all the Sephora stores downtown. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to spend time in a great New York City hotel whether for business or pleasure!
