Elegantly carved wooden doors and a vast glass facade provide a glimpse into the spectacular lobby and a taste of the splendid stay that lies in store at this sought-after Midtown address. Designed by esteemed architect David Rockwell, your room is a soothing sanctuary to return to after a day spent experiencing everything the Big Apple has to offer. Not only do floor-to-ceiling panes provide plenty of natural light, a real rarity in New York, but you'll also enjoy access to a private balcony where you can sit out and absorb the city's vibrant atmosphere. When you're relaxing in your room, gaze up in wonder at iconic art deco skyscrapers, sit down for a scenic picnic lunch in Central Park, or watch your favourite band on their world tour at Radio City Music Hall. And if that wasn't enough, some of the finest dining and best shopping in the whole of New York can be found on Fifth and Sixth Avenues, a short stroll away.
