Frommer's Review
This opulent landmark 1914 building in the financial district opened as a hotel in 2003, and it's retained some of the best architectural features of its Edwardian heyday while becoming cutting edge in its modern comforts. The building has been used as a backdrop for such films as Howard's End and The Saint because filmmakers were drawn to its soaring archways and classical central courtyard. The glamorous and exceedingly comfortable rooms are all furnished with fine linens and decorated in hues of cream, red, and blue. Some of the best accommodations are on the sixth floor, opening onto a cozy interior courtyard hidden from the busy world outside.
Facilities:
2 restaurants; 2 bars; cocktail lounge; gym; luxurious spa; sauna; courtesy car; business center; room service; massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; rooms for those w/limited mobility

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
