Conrad New York Midtown

"The London NYC is a true New York anomaly. Its 54 stories stack alongside tightly-packed midtown high-rises and you expect the interiors to be equally cramped and frenetic. Instead, the hotel's 564 suites are oases of spacious calm, larger than many NYC apartments. Each one has a living room with a snooze-inducing leather rocking chair and a massive velour chaise (rooms with pink couches are especially striking – a burst of color among timid neutrals). For workaholics, there’s WiFi, high speed internet and a comfortable dark wood desk. The rest of the suite is likewise minimalist and functional, with a rain shower in the pristine white bathroom and a comfy king-size bed behind French doors. Gordon Ramsey cooks up unique specialties in his eponymous restaurant (see Hot Tables), as well as in the more casual London Bar where diners choose from a daily selection of pricey, but tasty, small plates. The swordfish carpaccio and the quail topped with pate are especially recommended. Unless you’re planning a special event, skip the concierge services of Quintessentially, which are more showy than revolutionary. Note: The hotel will be renovated in Spring 2019 and be rebranded a Conrad."

"Formerly The London NYC, the contemporary, all-suite, 564-key Conrad New York Midtown, near Central Park in midtown Manhattan, has rooms larger than most New York City apartments. Rates at the newly renovated and re-branded property begin at $675 per night."
