Trendy suite hotel that runs somewhat "under the radar" I think partly b/c it's so pricey. Wonder what the special pricing is vs. say Affinia Dumont or Affinia 50 either of which are not far.
Do you know about the newish AKA suites hotels? Also quite stylish
http://www.hotelaka.com/ Central Park location is wonderful.

the special they;re running on their website is a one bedroom suite on a weekend night in december for $400 incl breakfast for 2 and a bottle of vueve cliquot. The London is 465 for the same night (for me that includes breakfast, high tea and late checout unde amex). I'm wondering if the alex is the same level as teh london.
McL- i thought the alex was thought to be in a better category than the affinia group. having stayed at the benjamin, I wasn't wowed.

The Alex would be considered above the Affinias but I don't think it's as nice as the London (nor is the location as good imo). For $65, I'd personally opt for the London with b/f, aft. tea and late checkout.
