Rooms at this boutique beauty are handsomely designed with framed artworks, floor-to-ceiling windows and luxury fabrics on seductive beds. Unfortunately, lower-category Classic King rooms are small, though there is space under the bed for stowing your luggage. The cozy rooftop bar comes with a view of the Empire State Building while the hotel's sharp steakhouse restaurant is the work of celebrated restaurateur Charlie Palmer.
A solid choice if you're craving the buzz of Midtown.
