Fodor's Review:

City Club's ocean-liner-inspired rooms are brisk, bright, and masculine, with Jonathan Adler ceramics. They are also about the same size as a room on a cruise ship—that means tight quarters, matey. All rooms have city-oriented photos from the '50s, Bigalow bathroom products, and "City Club" monogrammed wool blankets. Privacy, not publicity, is the emphasis at this luxe boutique property owned by young man-about-town Jeff Klein and designed by celebrity decorator Jeffrey Bilhuber. The lobby is tiny, and guests who wish to drink are sent across the street to the Royalton. Top chef Daniel Boulud opened his db bistro moderne downstairs, making for delicious room service. Pros: free wireless; great restaurant; personal service. Cons: no gym; some guests find lighting substandard; no real lobby.

Reviewed by johnnieb from Adirondack Mts, Upstate NY on 11/11/08
I like this hotel for its fab location, dark and contemporary interior, and "club" like feel. This was a trade organization club (loggers I believe) and in good company with the Harvard Club, The Penn Club, The more expensive Royalton is across the street, The Flame Dinner is on the block, and you have excellent Greek at Kellari, midtowns other great Greek restaurant. It also was the first place we saw a TV hidden behind a mirror (and we still laugh about it). I have enjoyed multiple stays.
I do not use room service, but enjoy stylish digs.
