Frommer's Review

The Mayflower is steeped in history: When it opened in 1925, it was the site of Calvin Coolidge's inaugural ball. President-elect FDR and family lived in room nos. 776 and 781 while waiting to move into the White House; this is where he penned the words, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."

Guest rooms feature silvery-green bed coverings, embroidered drapes, silk wall coverings, pillow-topped mattresses, and sink-into armchairs. Each guest room has its own marble foyer, high ceiling, combination of reproduction and contemporary furnishings, and Italian marble bathroom. The Mayflower has a club level on the eighth floor, as well as 74 executive suites.

In the hotel's lovely Café Promenade, lawyers and lobbyists continue to gather for weekday power breakfasts. At cocktail time, the clubby, mahogany-paneled Town and Country Lounge is a favorite spot for locals, thanks to complimentary hors d'oeuvres and bartender Sambonn Lek's magical martinis.

Facilities:
Restaurant (Mediterranean); lobby lounge; bar; 24-hr. fitness center; concierge; 24-hr. business center; 24-hr. room service; same-day laundry service; dry cleaning; club level; 15 rooms for those w/limited mobility
