Strange; you named so many chains below.

That's almost every place on your list.

Is that per night or for the entire stay????

Quiet and Meatpacking District are an oxymoron.

The Andaz is on the corner of Wall and Water. That area is absolutely dead after 7:00 PM. In fact, even the Starbucks at 100 Wall closes at 8:00.

Funny, but with your requirements, I would have chosen the Baur au Lac, unless it has changed in recent years.
