The Blakely New York Review

It may be a tried-and-true design motif, but it's hard to resist the English gentlemen's club when it's done right. The Blakely plays it up, with Chesterfield sofas and wood paneling in the lobby and rooms with flat-screen TVs, DVD and CD players, large work desks, and Frette robes. The feather-topped beds with Egyptian cotton sheets and duvets are particularly cozy. Room service is provided by Abboccato, a stylish Italian restaurant that gathers a large after-work crowd and also operates the hotel bar.

    Excellent location with easy access to subway or walking to UES or UWS. Rooms are large (by NY standards) and have well appointed baths. The deluxe rooms have small sitting areas and the suites are huge. Wonderful staff and a great little restaurant. Many other lovely dining options very nearby with a great breakfast take-out just across the street. Love The Blakely.
