Excellent location, attentive staff, historic landmark.
Pros:

Pros: Quiet luxury and grand dame look; you can feel its history. Location is excellent, right on 5th Ave at the SE corner of Central Park and close to several subway stations. Breakfast and lunch were great. The Rotonda is beautiful for afternoon tea or even as a work/leisure space. Friendly and attentive staff--particular shoutout to Luis at Perrine Restaurant.

Cons:

Cons: Room service is not 24/7 and operates until 10:30-11pm. The room was smaller than expected and a bit dated (the bathroom was not). My main qualm was with the astonishing amount of static in the room, particularly the bed/linens and even the cotton towels. I presume it's a seasonal issue now in the wintertime, but I wish they could use anti-static spray to mitigate.

A privileged way to see New York
Pros:

Very stylish high level hotel, very helpful staff, nice breakfast, big rooms and bathrooms, excellent location ( central park, museums, high level shopping, metro, the opera). I would like to mention that the staff provided us a coffee machine in the room, suggested restaurants and made reservations, called taxis,... The guests are assisted very well and always with a smile.

Cons:

The air-conditioning in the room was old fashioned, noisy and would either frize the room or leave it hot. Really needs update.

We had a comfortable stay. And rhe location is perfect.
Pros:

The property provided comfortable bed and living area. The space is huge. It is very clean.

Cons:

Upon check in there are things that weren’t provided. Ex. We have to call house keeping for a toothbrush. We expected to have a tissue in the bedroom and the living room and there was none. There is also no iron and iron board.

Wonderful Stay!
Pros:

This hotel is a wonderful one! I really loved the way it was decorated for Christmas. You could feel the joy of the holydays.
The staff was friendly, respectful and, most of all, very helpful. We had a suite on 38 floor with a beautiful view on the Central Park so we could enjoy some of the finest sunrises in New York. If you choose this hotel, take a room with a park view, on the upper floors. I assure you you won't regret it.
The room exceeded my expectations in size and comfort. Extra large bed, spotless room and linen, room service and permanent assistance from the reception will make your stay a perfect one. They accommodated my son in the same room and I really appreciated that.
The breakfast was a la carte, with enough choices not to get bored and really really tasty, regardless of your choice. My only remark regarding it is that when you pay such an amount on a room and you have breakfast included, you expect to be really included. Instead, we were given a 96 USD credit for the breakfast, and we had to pay what exceeded that amount. It leaves a bad taste and is a shame, as everything else was perfect. Is not like you have multiple mouth and you will eat 5 breakfasts...
The lounge bar offers a wide range of drinks, the waiters were super nice and is really worth spending some time there after a full day.
The food at dinner - we only tried it once, it was good, but not something out of ordinary, even though the menu looked fantastic.

Cons:

Actually included breakfast.

Pros:

Old world charm. Turn down service.

Cons:

There should be a coffee maker in the room. Instead, they provide complimentary coffee and pastries in the lobby from
6-8 AM;. I can't tell you how good since I was never downstairs by that time. Thet should realize you're on vacation and serve until 10 AM.

Très bon hôtel et surtout emplacement incroyable
Pros:

The hotel was flawless, comfortable rooms, clean good service amazing location. Highly recommend NYC at its best.

Cons:

Petit déjeuner décevant, crédit alloué mais qui n inclue pas taxes et service donc au final on se retrouve à payer des extras sur un petit déjeuner qui est censé être inclu. Ne recommande pas de prendre le petit déjeuner avec la chambre. serveurs au petit déjeuner un peu trop agressifs pour pousser à la consommation.

Good service and location but tired rooms
Pros:

The location was very good and the staff were attentive .

Cons:

The room that I stayed in was a bit tired and it could have done with a coffee machine like in other five star hotels of the same calibre
