King Room

I liked this property very much. I felt that it can be summed up to be like a red Ferrari. Sexy, eye catching decor in public spaces, but very sleek and luxurious interiors, and very european. Service is professional but not overly friendly but not frosty either.

Room

The 77 King rooms, of which I ended up staying in, is thoughtfully designed and is very spacious. From Crestron systems to B&O telephones and TV to SubZero drawer fridges and freezers, the hotel really did think things through. Except for one glaring omission -- poor sound-proofing of the windows. Perhaps, for European guests, the windows open up for fresh air but this then also leads to excessive noise bleeding into the room. Fortunately, you are in the Upper East Side so it is nowhere as noisy as Midtown. The suite product is impressive and I really liked the 2 BR Premier Suites on the top hotel floor. Even the entry level suites are sleek and very comfortable -- like a European pied-a-terre in NYC.

Service

Service is very good throughout. The Concierge team, though not Clefs D'Or, are quite knowledgeable and Jeanie is a foodie so she is the one to talk to about food options.

WiFi is complimentary here which is a big plus. There is also a house car which will drop off within a 10 block radius.

Dining

Jean-Georges at the Mark is a great restaurant (we only ate breakfast there). The bar is quite busy in the evenings and the restaurant has a glass roofed conservatory section which is the preferred seating area. It is very french and the food is very tasty. For breakfast, the restaurant charges an automatic cheeky 20% gratuity for rather poor service. The eggs tasted just like in Paris (they must use a LOT of butter!!) and the food is very tasty, if not expensive. We enjoyed a chocolate chip souffle with grand marnier creme anglaise for dessert via room service and this was stellar. To be able to order souffle through room service is always a plus!!
