The property has a nostalgic New York style Old School hotel feeling. Great French restaurant attached to the lobby. Everything was perfect, except the 1923 elevators that were very slow and difficult to work with the double door challenge. I was there for a difficult family task that I had only mentioned in passing and on my last night, there was a tray on my bed with a bottle of wine, wine glass, cookies, chocolate and a hand written note from the staff hoping it all turns out well. I was very touched.

I love the Palihotels. They find elegant, historic properties and renovate them with high quality finishes (and extremely comfortable beds) while preserving their unique character. In this case, the tiny elevator (only 1 of 2 worked) is from 1913. Once the fastest in the world, it's fun to try, though a little treacherous to operate. (Forget it if you're not reasonably strong, or else a kid.) Get used to long waits. I'd suggest installing a regular elevator, too, or else would reserve a room not above the 5th floor to use the wide, carpeted staircase! There's plenty of comfortable communal workspace if you have a smaller room, and a beautiful rooftop with lots of greenery, comfy couches and fantastic views.

Great hotel. Will stay again!
Only issue i had was Valet. They didn't seem to have a good system. Had to ask several times if they were getting the car. And the final time I asked they didnt know whether they had pulled the car up yet.

This is a nicely restored Art Nouveau hotel with a lovely rooftop with city views and a friendly staff. However there is a “destination fee” of $25 per night, which only shows up after you’ve spent a lot of time selecting all the package details for your trip. And for what? To walk up and down 8 flights of stairs when one of the two antique elevators is not working (the other is totally out of service)? For a tiny room with 6 hangers on a rod above the minibar with no drawers/closet to store your clothes? For maid service that doesn’t empty the one small garbage in the bathroom or supply more coffee daily? To be woken up with so much shouting in the street that it sounds like a riot? For a mini fridge that is so packed with items for sale that there is no room for your own items? I don’t like to complain about these small issues, but in light of them a “destination fee” is not warranted.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The hotel decor is stunning, the hotel staff were extremely friendly, check-in took us less than 10 minutes, and the hotel is in a very convenient location, with restaurants and bars all around. We would definitely stay here again!

The design was great and fit within the context of a historic building, there were thoughtful small touches in the rooms (robe, great soaps, artwork, interesting drinks in the mini bar) and the staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The rooftop was also great, and the restaurant on the first floor was excellent and convenient. Highly recommend!

Adorable hotel with a great staff. Our suite was in an odd area, windows looked out to a very smal interior courtyard but aside from that the room was well appointed and a good size. other reviews mentioned the elevator (onl one working) and it was not convenient but the history makes up for that. Good value and we'll stay there again
