Very good location, nice restaurants and shops near, the staff was very nice and polite. The room (on the ground floor) was very quiet and the bed very comfortable. Also it had a small terrace, but I didn't use it because of the cold weather. The rooftop is also nice for some quiet moments and for taking few photos. Thank you!

    An absolutely delicious boutique hotel in an Art Deco stylee in the centre of midtown -- very intelligently designed and appointed, with really good furnishings, linens, upholstery, shower quality. The bar is lovely, if slightly underused; the lobby is generous and comfy; we stayed in a post-pandemic restaurant hiatus -- when that is restored to life, the hotel will I am sure feel like it is operating all turbines.
