This is becoming an annual getaway for my 21 year old daughter before Uni starts. We have previously stayed at 4 other properties in NYC. The Royalton,The Belevedere,The Omni Berkshire.
I would compare The Muse to (quality) to The Royalton .
Last fall my husband and I visited a Kimpton property in Arizona Firfely and was so impressed with the service there that I inquired if they had any properties in NYC anticipating my August getaway !
So naturally I booked us into The Muse.
Location - If you want to be steps from Times Square it is !!!
Rooms- Wow nicest I have stayed in( NYC) Rm 1901 wonderful and has a tiny balcony that you can look over a part of the city . Very spacious for a city room. Bathroom (Royalton has that beat) ...but really lets not nit pic .It was fine just a bit dated. Ladies very adequate blow dryer nothing like getting one of those that take 2 hours to dry your hair.
Wine tasting -what a great idea koodoos to you Mr.Kimpton ! get there early to get a seat as seating is ltd.They served white(not very good)(but included),red -Merlot not bad , another red escapes me , and for summer they have added White & Red(really pink) Sangria.Met a few guests there to chat to.
We did not eat at Nicos but did meet a friend at the bar before venturing out for the night.
Since this was our 4th summer visiting we are very comfortable in the city. We purchase Metro passes 29 .00 for a weekly ,and that is our transport during our stay. We have always felt very safe and the subways are a perfect way to get around a very congested city.
The Staff - What can I say amazing well trained ,well versed ...they take care of you from the moment you arrive untill you leave.
I was celebrating a birthday while I was there and in my room upon arrival I found some cupcakes and champagne again the small touches imprint the customer !!!
Elevators never a probelm .
So wonderful time in NYC again !
thank-you Kimpton hotel - The Muse
We will be back !
