Hotel in NYC

So we were bumped out of our reservation at The Plaza for next weekend.... any suggestion on an "impressive hotel". I'm thinking Mid-Town West so everything is in relative walking distance. A place that will impress young and old alike??

Just curious how your were "bumped"...The Plaza is a Fairmont Hotel...I've never heard of one of their properties doing anything untowardly to a an upcoming/prospective guest....

If you don't mind paying for the location of Central Park South, I'd go with either the Ritz-Carlton or The Essex House. Both are just a couple doors down from The Plaza.

The Plaza Athenee while not CPS or MW, is just a block from the Plaza also at the south east corner of Central Park.

How about the Excelsior? Great view from front windows of Nat. Hist Museum & Planetarium. Our 7 & 4-yr-old boys were treated with kindness and understanding by the staff, including complementary cookies and fruit at reception desk 24/7. Very "boutique" lobby, and comfortable rooms. To me, service is EVERYTHING, and it sounds like the Plaza falls short of that!!!
