The Bar/Lounge at The Langham New York Fifth Avenue

"The mocha-hued furnishings set against gleaming marble floors create a chic cocoon in the seating areas off the lobby and in the Bar on Fifth, where you can soak up some libations and sultry jazz tunes"

"House restaurant Ai Fiori serves diners on the second floor, while the chic bar and lounge Measure features creative American and English comfort food --- think gourmet twists on traditional favorites like fish and chips"

"Michael White's sublime Ai Fiori and Bar on Fifth bring the social buzz"

"On a stretch of Fifth Avenue between Grand Central Station and Herald Square, this luxury Midtowner -- formerly the Setai -- lures weekenders and worker bees with a range of contemporary, warm-hued accommodations featuring marble bathrooms, rain showers and flat-screen TVs (some also boast views of the Empire State Building); on-site indulgence comes care of the full-service spa, cocktail bar and Italian eatery Ai Fiori -- you can work off the calories from the latter in the 24-hour fitness center"

"What that means is free shoe shines when guests arrive (can’t have dusty tootsies in a place this fancy), a town car available at all hours to whisk them around town, complimentary access to the minibar, and rooms that feel like they’re the dimension of a squash court (the smallest start at 700 feet)"
