Frommer's Review
A landmark apartment house from 1915 to 1970, The Latham's charm, congeniality, and attention to small details bring to mind a small, superbly run Swiss hostelry. On weekday mornings, the lobby -- a high-ceilinged salon with terrazzo highlights -- is filled with refreshed executives, though the hotel does no convention business. The reception staff is quick and professional. The guest rooms, redone in Victorian motif, are not huge or lavish but perfectly proportioned and decorated with cheerful striped silk.
Facilities:
Restaurant; lounge; small fitness center; concierge; laundry service; dry cleaning

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.
