On the fashionable East Side, close to Park Avenue's business centers and a short walk to Fifth Avenue shops, Rockefeller Center, and Broadway, this graciously restored landmark attracts both business travelers and vacationers.
The 686 guestrooms are decorated in restful colors of deep gold and pale yellow, with formal draperies coordinated to custom bedspreads. Rooms have ample desk space, and marble baths feature phones and bathrobes.
A total renovation in 2001 restored the elegance of the public rooms and upgraded the guestrooms. The business center includes high-speed Internet access, mobile phone and laptop rental, and translation services.
