Fodor's Review:

During the '90s, the dramatic lobby started the craze of local A-listers meeting and greeting in hotel boîtes. The space has since been completely redesigned by Roman and Williams and is attracting a new generation of movers and shakers to congregate around its sumptuous sofas and the warm glow of its massive cast-bronze fireplace. Before you can get to your room, you'll have to traverse this bustling hipster lounge, but the efficient check-in and helpful staff ensure that things go smoothly. Updated guest rooms are all comfortably sleek and elegantly outfitted with atmospheric lighting, fresh flowers, and candles changed daily. Some of the rooms have working fireplaces, and all have plasma-screen TVs. Bathrooms have been sumptuously renovated with huge circular Roman soaking tubs and rainfall showers. Pros: hip lobby scene; luxe beds and bathrooms; helpful service. Cons: dark hallways; lighting may be too moody for some guests.
