Favorite hotel in NYC. ANY hotel that offers that much room is luxury to me! Yes, the redecoration was was tres chic but perhaps a bit over the top. The coach is pretty but not very comfortable. That said, I love the place but heck - I loved the Rihga Royal!

BTW, checked in thru AMEX Centurion and paid the regular rate but got upgraded to the upper level "vista" suites.
