Susie Says 'Ahhhhh!' Lots of woodwork, very well maintained, in
the heart of the Upper East Side's Museum Mile in the Carnegie Hill
Historic District. Understated New York elegance sets the tone
throughout the hotel. Comfortably-furnished rooms are quite small --
Susie says she can sit on the edge of the bed and change channels on
the TV with her nose -- but she doesn't mind, its too comfortable to
care. Our friend Lorraine left New York for the warmer climes of
Miami a couple of years ago but insists on coming back, and back,
and back. Lorraine has stayed at quite a few hotels on her return
trips and is something of an expert on New York City lodging.
Lorraine was very impressed with and keeps going back to the Wales.
She especially liked the second-floor lounge, a quiet, spacious area
where Continental breakfast ("Very good") and afternoon
tea ("Charming") are served and you can spread out with
your newspaper. The staff is especially attentive and service is
courteous and friendly. One of the first of the new wave of
Manhattan's boutique hotels a few  years
back, the Wales offers a complimentary drink upon arrival, 24-hour
complimentary coffee service, luxurious bathrobes and, in a new
twist -- "all suites are beautifully decorated with your
choice of bedding." I have to get back there to see exactly
what that means. In the meantime, the Carnegie Hill area is 'veddy'
refined and the Wales is a great place from which to base excursions
along Manhattan's Museum Mile or Madison Avenue boutique shopping. A
stroll across Central Park (consider it kind of a big back yard
during your stay), takes you to the Upper West Side and American
Museum of Natural History. Nearby subway will whisk you to Midtown
in moments
