This upscale hotel in Midtown is just 1 block from the landmark Grand Central Station and 3½ blocks from both Fifth Avenue shopping and the United Nations.
The 788 rooms are handsomely appointed with quilted print bedspreads with matching custom headboards, formal draperies, silver-framed mirrors, and black-and-white prints of old New York.
A silver-and-glass marquee leads the way into a 41-story vintage 1920s building completely modernized in 1981. The newly decorated lobby offers a dramatic silver reception desk, comfortable seating, and a piano bar and restaurant.
