Located in the center of Manhatten, this hotel has a beautiful lobby and makes a great first impression. It's just steps from Fifth Avenue shopping, the Broadway Theater District and Times Square, and New York's nightlife. The rooms and suites are spacious and comfortable, with very luxurious bathrooms. The theme of the hotel is transoceanic travel but some may find the corridors and atmosphere a little dark - there's not a huge amount of natural light there. The hotel restaurant '44,' serves breakfast, lunch and dinner and is quite a chic place to enjoy a meal. There's also a nice bar, and in the lobby is a 20-foot long marble Library Table, which is apparently quite a hangout area for New York's literary set. There's a 24 hour gym and there are personal trainers available on request. The staff are welcoming and friendly.
