Sofitel has received so many excellent reviews, but I don't think anyone has totally focused on the fact that Sofitel's rooms have just about every feature of the top-grade luxury hotels such as the RitzCarlton or Four Seasons but at a moderate price and within walking distance of the theatre district and Fifth Avenue shopping. From the luxurious Frette linens and towels, to the extremely comfortable beds, attractive furnishings, beautiful marble bathrooms with separate tub and shower, lighted makeup mirrors---too many things to mention---Sofitel does not miss anything that the extremely high-priced hotels have. In addition, Sofitel has a very attractive bar and restaurant, (although the restaurant is rather expensive). Further, the rooms are blissfully quiet, views are good, A/C is quiet and thermostatically controlled, and all personnel are friendly and helpful. The only negative I can think of is that the lobby is somewhat unappealing looking and could use a facelift---not that it is at all rundown---just not up to attractiveness of the rest of the place. This is my new favorite hotel in NYC!!
