Omni Berkshire Place

Midtown


While the neutrally toned rooms at the high-end, 21-story property lack 'wow' factor, all feature comfortable beds and fetching Italian-marble bathrooms. The narrow desks are less practical than they could be, though chances are you'll be busy soaking up the Midtown view from the 17th-floor sundeck or window shopping on nearby Fifth Ave. High marks go to the staff, who go the extra distance for guests.
