Le Parker Meridien

Frommer's Review

Consider the many attributes of this hotel: Its location on 57th Street is not too far from Times Square and a short walk from Central Park and Fifth Avenue shopping; there's a 17,000-square-foot fitness center, Gravity, featuring basketball and racquetball courts, a spa, and a rooftop pool; three excellent restaurants, including Norma's, for breakfast, and the aptly named Burger Joint, rated by many as the best burger in the city; a gorgeous lobby that also serves as a public space; and elevators with TVs that show Tom and Jerry and Charlie Chaplin shorts. The spacious hotel rooms, though a bit on the IKEA side, have a fun feel, with hidden drawers and twirling television platforms, making an economical use of space. Many have fantastic Central Park views. Rooms have wood platform beds with feather beds, built-ins that include large work desks, Aeron chairs, high-speed Internet, and 32-inch flatscreen TVs with VCR, CD, and DVD players. The bathrooms are large but come with shower only.

Facilities:
3 restaurants; espresso/cocktail bar; concierge (2 w/Clefs d'Or distinction); weekday morning courtesy car to Wall St.; fitness center & spa w/Wii studio; rooftop pool, room service; sun deck
