Frommer's Review
Designed by überarchitect I. M. Pei, this modernist tower of honey-hued limestone rises 52 stories, making it the city's tallest hotel and providing hundreds of rooms with a view. Enter via the soaring lobby, with its marble floors and backlit onyx ceiling. From the stellar service -- only surpassed by the Ritz-Carlton hotels and Trump International -- to the fantastic facilities, including a luxurious spa, this is a stunner.
The soundproof guest rooms are among the city's largest, averaging 600 square feet, and feature massive windows (50% of which boast Central Park views). About two dozen of the priciest rooms also have terraces. The mammoth Florentine marble bathrooms have soaking tubs that fill in 60 seconds, and separate showers with pressure controls.
Facilities:
Restaurant; bar w/evening entertainment; lobby lounge for afternoon tea and light fare; babysitting; children's program; concierge; 5,000-sq.-ft. fitness center & spa w/whirlpool, steam, and sauna; room service

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.
