I don't care about spas (plenty of those where I live, if I was interested), and my wife is a foodie, but I just like good food prepared properly, rather than exotic stuff with numerous ingredients.
Want a place where we can relax when not out taking in the sights, so larger and quieter is a plus. I know, it's NY - quiet and roomy aren't what you go there for, but the larger, quieter room is preferred.
I've looked at several sites and most put the St Regis above the Ritz, but others don't. I'm leaning towards the Ritz, but could be swayed.
Any opinions/advice are appreciated.
Thank you.
As an SPG Platinum I have been treated very nicely at the STR. As a Marriott Platinum I have been treated as everybody else at the Ritz. They treat everyone nice, of course, just think if you have status STR is better, They had a wonderful breakfast.
