This hotel is my preferred choice when in New York and have stayed there since it opened. On this trip it was on my own dime while we spent four days in NYC. The location is great both for mid-town business travellers and tourists alike.
Staying at a Sofitel always tends to be pleasant with nicely decorated and fitted out rooms while service has a French twist. For me the "so-comfy" beds far out-shines other hotel offerings and coupled with a decent sized marbled bathroom this hotel has a winning formula. All the rooms and suites I have stayed have been of a decent size as have the bathrooms.
We like Gaby's for a relaxed drink and the olives are always delicious. On this trip we did not eat in the hotel preferring to have a casual breakfast nearby and dinner at one of New Yorks many great restaurants.
I do mark the hotel down for a rather shoddy response to a booking query which necessitated three telephone calls from me to solicit a response. They did come good but it would not have occurred without my persistence.
I would add we stayed as part of their summer "chic picnic" deal. We had a blast sitting in Central Park having our lunch - on all my visits I'd never done this. The food was simple but tasty, only recommendation would be to pack a rug.
