Personally I don't see the appeal of these huge suites. For my needs a smaller suite at a better hotel works much better. I'd rather be down at Crosby Street Hotel or at the Four Seasons, MO, Pen, etc.. if I wanted to be in midtown.

Neither do I.
I suppose they could be of interest for entertaining (events, product/service launch, promotion, etc) or for a large family that want to stay together.
In general though there are very few times I travel that I can even think to need more than 100 sq metres of space as a couple and less if by myself.

Over all I agree, you normally don`t Need 400 sqm. A Suite with 100 sqm (without outdoor space) is normally nice enough....@ Palace: If a Hotel shuts down it`s 2 star Restaurant to try a new concept (i.e. cut costs) it tells me enough....

Suite 5000 at MO NY seems much more appealing to me than both Ty Warner PH or Jewel Suite at the Palace, even though it's the same price (or at least marketed for the same price). But this suite is not on MOs website. Does anyone know why or the ins and outs? It was featured in Gallivanters as well as some websites. The design is way more contemporary compared to the rest of the rooms and suites.
