have you ever wanted to stay over night at the Metropolitan Museum of Art? well, thats what this feels like. the lobby is like walking into a renaissance cathedral. even the smell is spot on (that carbon smell you find in museums..to remove toxins from the air so it doesn't damage the art).
we stayed here new years weekend 2004. it was a zoo but well worth it. our room was a gigantic suite, but very minimally decorated. hardly anything on the walls. a little eerie if you ask me. their was a faint odor of ciggy smoke in our non-smoking room but i guess its to be expected when the whole city reeks of it. the bathroom was solid marble from the shower, to the tub, to the walls, to the floors. it was one of the most gorgeous bathrooms i've ever seen. nd our bedroom had a balcony that opened up to the living room. yes, inside the room there was a "balcony." it was very cute.
jsut 4 stars because of the bare walls and faint ciggy smoke smell, but i'll be back.
