And while sheiks and CEOs settling into the suites will find it difficult to choose where to bunk—New York Palace, Ritz-Carlton Central Park, Four Seasons or Mandarin Oriental—arrivals headed to Standard and Deluxe rooms will find this to be the perhaps the best of the bunch.
Gayot "The New York member of this top-of-the-line hotel group is superbly located in a turn-of-the-century landmark Beaux Arts building on Fifth Avenue, where the east and west side converge."

For views of Bryant Park, request rooms in the -02 to -08 series.
Gayot "A location alone... is enough of a selling point for travelers wishing to be in the center of New York City. But the hotel offers far more appeal than just its address."
BlackBook "Rooms are gorgeous, spacious, comfortably modern and quiet, many with treetop park views."
Zagat3.5
"Tucked in a near-"perfect" location close to Grand Central, this Midtowner puts you "awfully close to where you need to be" and provides "great" views."
