I was born a light sleeper, so unfortunately, everything wakes me up. I lived in Manhattan for years so I know quiet is tough to find, even on high floors. I was hoping for relative quiet: maybe rooms facing the a brick wall in the back or at least with traffic noise partly blocked by another building from one side, or (ideally) window-less bedrooms like the junior suites at the Four Seasons LA and Boston. I know there will be noise from above, a newer or renovated without rattling vents etc would be great. Any area of Manhattan outside of Roosevelt Island would work.

This sub-forum has come through with excellent hotel finds in other cities, so I’m hoping that one of you experts can help me out. Thank you in advance.
