Staying here as a globalist for the first time. Used a SUA for a premium suite king. Room has a separate bedroom and living room and is spacious. There is no desk, but you can repurpose a table in the bedroom to be one (I moved it into the living room). Bathroom is small and can only be used by one person at a time. With it being an older hotel I’m sure there are different suite sizes / configurations so perhaps other suites have bigger bathrooms. Would explain the lack of photos on the website!
They seem to have abandoned the “globalist” menu for breakfast. I asked when I was seated if they still had a globalist breakfast menu and the server said I could order any entree dish and a drip coffee.
Overall we like the hotel. The lobby bar has a good buzz to it and Scarpetta is a solid option on site. The rooms are showing some sign of wear and tear and could do with a refurb.
I know views vary on the topic but I would prefer this to the Andaz. I just find the room configurations there to be weird and the lobby to be soulless. This has more of a NYC hotel vibe with people bustling around. Good use of SUA too for the space you get.
