A different NYC hotel request

[maureen]

So where in the chelsea/flatiron/union square area should I stay if I'm attending La Paulee, which is at the Metropolitan Pavillion on 28th between 6th & 7th. I'll be headed down the island for dinner.

Not looking for the cheapest, nor the most expensive. Advice?

Ace Hotel could be fun if you feel like hanging with Hipsters.

They have a STUMPTOWN in the lobby as well as The Breslin Restaurant.

Ace

It is located at 20 West 29th Street - an easy walk to La Paulee.

Interesting - thanks. Keep 'em coming!

You've got the address wrong, Mo. The Met Pavillion is on 18th between 6th and 7th. 125 West 18th, to be exact. I used to organize Winebow's portfolio tastings there.

I believe the Pavilion is on 18th Street.

In the neighborhood some hotels are:
- The Dream Hotel
- The Maritime
- The Standard

All three are modern, fairly "trendy" and very close to Chelsea Market. But I have no idea about pricing.

also check out the NoMad. http://www.thenomadhotel.com/

There are also a few small hotels in Chelsea (e.g., the GEM, the Chelsea Inn, Chelsea Savoy) but i don't know anything about their clientele, cleanliness, service or price.

I knew it was on 18th, that was a typo - but thanks for the correction anyway and the suggestions.

Highly recommend the Desmond Tutu center, tho at times can be spendy.

That is a great call. In the grounds of General theological seminary. . Couldn't be prettier.

Maureen -- glad to hear you are planning to make it out! I'm super excited about the events...We should chat in more detail.

I looked into 5 places, recommendations from various NY locals:

Smith in Tribeca
Tribeca Grand
Gramercy Park
Nomad
Four Seasons

I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit which one we picked.

Mandarin Oriental & the St. Regis booked up?

 

[Mark Davis]

Kirk-

Didn't even consider those two, though I suspect there is some availability for you if you want the penthouse suite. :)

My not so-well expressed question was why the 4S and not those?

 

[Mark Davis]

Quick version: 4S is a known entity. I've heard good things about the others as well.

But rather pricy.

Not near the Metropolitan Pavillion, but we are staying at the Grand Hyatt next to Grand Central Station. http://grandnewyork.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels-grandnewyork/index.jsp?extCorporateId= They have very good weekend rates what what is a nice hotel.

You can get to the tasting pretty easily by subway and it is very centrally located to get around the rest of the weekend. In fact, two years ago, the weather was pretty nice, so Ben, Nancy and I just walked all the way to the tasting from there. Not a bad walk.

Booked myself into the just opened Jade Hotel in the West Village - Kirk, go check it out for me please! :) Looks great, not very expensive, short walk to venue, etc.
