Frommer's Review
Not many hotels in New York can rival the attributes of this hotel: Its location on 57th Street, not too far from Times Square and a close walk from Central Park and Fifth Avenue shopping, is practically perfect; the 17,000-square-foot fitness center, called Gravity, features state-of-the-art equipment, basketball and racquetball courts, a spa, and a rooftop pool; three excellent restaurants, including Norma's, where breakfast is an art, and the aptly named Burger Joint, rated by many as the best hamburger in the city; a gorgeous, bustling lobby that also serves as a public space; and elevators with televisions that continuously show Tom and Jerry and Rocky and Bullwinkle, and Charlie Chaplin shorts that are a wonder for the kids. The spacious hotel rooms, though a bit on the Ikea side, have a fun feel to them, with hidden drawers and swirling television platforms, inventively exploiting an economical use of space. Rooms have wood platform beds with feather beds, built-ins that include large work desks, stylish Aeron chairs, free high-speed Internet, and 32-inch flat-screen televisions with VCR, CD and DVD players. The slate-and-limestone bathrooms are large but unfortunately come with shower only. A stay at Le Parker Meridien is a New York experience in itself.
Facilities:
3 restaurants; rooftop pool; fantastic fitness center and spa; concierge (2 w/Clefs d'Or distinction); weekday morning courtesy car to Wall St.; full-service business center; 24-hr. room service; laundry service; dry cleaning
