Says When I walk into a hotel and see fresh
flowers you can almost guarantee I'm going to like it;
it's a sign of attention to detail and caring for guests. The
Iroquois Hotel didn't disappoint. Once home to such folks as James Dean
and our good friend Tony, who used the joint as his New York haunt
on trips home from working overseas, the Iroquois had fallen on not
quite hard times. It offered somewhat shabby but still genteel
suites at good rates. That's changed
With the NYC hotel renaissance in the
late 90s the hotel was been reborn as one of the better boutique properties
in the city. It's changed hands since then but the Iroquois still offers a very comfortable --
I call
it "clubby English," they call it "French
eclectic," -- face to its neighbors along New York City's Club
Row. Wood  and
cushions abound, accented by those little details that make a room a
pleasure. And the rooms are meant to be soothing after a busy day
and night out on the town. No bright lights, no chrome, no glitz,
just relaxing comfort. The standard rooms are a bit on the small side,
some might say very, very small, but are so
comfortable that you don't really notice. Deluxe rooms and suites
are spacious, with plenty of room to stretch out and relax -- or
even do a bit of a foxtrot. I especially like the bathrooms, all
warm-toned marble and brass with exquisite bath accessories and
really comfy robes
The Iroquois is built for -- have I
used this word yet? -- comfort and the staff takes this to heart.
Very professional, very courteous, very friendly. Even if you're not
staying at the hotel you get a very warm welcome. Haven't as yet had
a chance to eat at the on-premises Triomphe restaurant (think I
still resent that the great jazz club that used to be in the space
is no longer there), but haven't heard anything bad about it.
Actually haven't heard about it at all, take that for what it's
worth
The Iroquois is not cheap. Rack rates
for a standard room (they call it "superior"), start at
$345. While I think the place is great I'm not sure I would pay
that. For a special weekend or few nights in town for the theater
I'd try to find a deal somewhere around $250 or so. But hey, if you
can afford it and you are going to make this your New York home away
from home, go for it
This is the heart of Midtown Manhattan;
the hotel is just down the street from Grand Central Terminal along
club row (Harvard, Penn, etc), a
short stroll to the Theater District, within walking distance of
all Midtown sights and attractions and convenient to subway and bus
