Super cozy couch makes you feel like it's your home
Midtown bustling in the morning
The bed is simple but comfortable
The bathroom mirror lights are a nice touch (even if it has a bit of a creepy effect here)
The hotel from the outside; Lexington Brass on the corner
The 2nd floor lobby
The only real common area, which has the most design touches
A nice desk setup to do work (or watch morning talk shows)
The windows allow a ton of light to enter
It's a relaxing room, and the fact that it's separated from the bedroom makes a huge difference
Highs & Lows
-
The floor-to-ceiling windows let the sunlight in, which is nice for NYC.
-
The bedroom and 'living room' are separated - a nice touch if you're with someone.
-
A desk to get work done, definitely a plus if you're in town on business.
-
The design is simple, but makes you feel like it's your own apartment (that is, if you could afford that kind of real estate in this city).
-
It's a business district. 5th Avenue is a stones throw away, but not much to do in the immediate vicinity.
-
There aren't too many common areas in the hotel; you're mainly there for the room.
