Book NowHôtel Plaza Athénée Review
It's easy to be seduced by this luxurious hotel, positioned unobtrusively by Central Park on the Upper East Side, and it's even more of a draw now that the rooms have undergone a renovation that includes refined decor in muted tones and enlarged bathrooms—some tricked out in marble with soaking tubs. There are also two massive 2,000-square-foot presidential suites and a glam spa with four treatment rooms that opened in May 2010. Service is stellar, with a personal sit-down check-in to the side of the lobby, and extravagant room service. The hotel may seem stuffy to younger visitors. To others, touches like the lobby tapestries depicting forest scenes will be a welcome old-school luxury. The Bar Seine is a dark and secretive hideaway, one of the best bars in the city, and surely the only one with a floor made of leather. Arabelle is a much-touted, if not particularly well-loved restaurant in need of a menu face-lift or celeb-chef infusion.
