What would people recommend Waldorf Astoria, Towers of Waaldorf (are they comparable), somewhere else?
Am I likely to get an upgrade with Diamond (staying on a Friday and Saturday night). Would be good to have access to a lounge as travelling on own so somewhere to chill ane city watch would be good.
Unless, something has changed recently none of the NYC Hilton family properties have a lounge.
Read back in this thread a few pages and you will find quite a bit of discussion of possible midtown properties. There are also individual hotel threads for the properties you are considering.
