I arrived at the hotel on Tuesday at 2:30 PM and was checked in and on my way to my room in less than five minutes. I had booked a standard room but been upgraded (not sure of the category) to a higher floor corner room. The hotel has been selling for $700+ per night (They have Krug in the mini bar!!) but August (slow time in Manhattan) brought the rate WAY down and offered the third night free. Doubt it will work again for business or leisure travel but it was great to check out at least once.
I made my way up to the 34th floor and the room/view were both stunning. In signature Ian Schrager style (even though this is a collaboration with Marriott) everything was clean and in neutral tones. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.
