“The historic grandeur of this property is immediately striking, felt in its opulent decor and the warm welcome extended to every guest, often with a glass of champagne. Dining experiences here, particularly at Mason Street Grill, are notably excellent, and the drinks at Blu on the 23rd floor offer a superb city view. It strikes a compelling balance between an elegant, almost time-traveling atmosphere and truly attentive, friendly service that makes any stay feel special.”
