Think twice if
What you're near — and what you're not
- Central Park and Museum Mile
- Madison Avenue shopping
- The Metropolitan Museum (short walk)
- Downtown and the Village (~25 min)
- Limited nightlife in the immediate area
What you're paying for
Rooms and grand suites in striking modern design; rates are room-only at the top of the market, with the restaurant and services charged separately. The catch is the price ceiling — the signature suites run into rarefied territory, so the value is in the design and service rather than the room count.
