It is reassuring to “come home” to this hotel after running around the city all day. I feel comfortable at the Plaza Athenee and am well-pleased with the environment-----until I step into the bathroom.
Guys, you gotta do something about those bathrooms. Zero counter space around the sink. Narrow shelves built into the walls. Okay, there was a trolley cart to set my shaving kit on. Thank you for that.
I need more counter space and shelf space. And I’m only one person. What must it be like when two people share a room? (I’d be curious to see what the bathrooms in the suites look like.)
My ideal hotel room would be a Plaza Athenee bedroom attached to a Four Seasons bathroom. That would be nice.
On the day I checked in, I received a gold box of Belgian chocolates with a note from the manager welcoming me back to the hotel. Those chocolates were tasty! I called downstairs and asked if there was a store nearby that sold them. They directed me to Leonidas on Madison between 52nd and 51st. I walked there and bought gifts which were a hit with the folks back home.
I admire the Plaza Athenee’s concierge staff. Dependable. Knowledgeable. Efficient.
My room rate was 445/night. The various taxes came to 63/night-----bringing total room charges to 508/night.
