Executive lounge , level, club, canapes, open bar, breakfast

Hi all,

I have tried searching through previous posts using the words in the topic heading, and have found a couple of hotels that offer Executive accomodation/dining ( NY Palace and Hilton Broadway - I think )and of course the Casablanca, which we stayed in 4 years ago.

Can anyone else suggest hotels in Manhattan that offer this type of stay.......

dedicated check in

dedicated lounge

breakfast included

snacks, tea/coffee available all day

evening drinks with canapes

I know that eating and drinking is not a problem in NYC, but we have experienced this type of accomodation before, and it can be very useful, relaxing and special.

Funny enough, we have done this at Intercontinental ( Hong Kong) and Jumeriah ( Dubai ) - but neither of their hotels in New York offer this.

thanks in advance

Dave

The Sofitel does this. Very well, I might add. I can%26#39;t guarantee they do in NY, but I am pretty sure.

I know the Westin offers this but the reason I know is many people complain that the premium price you pay for it is NOT worth the money. The club level rooms are on lower floors than regular rooms (strange but true) so views may not be as good and the upcharge for the b/f and snacks is more than most think it%26#39;s worth. That said, there%26#39;s a special offer for them right now

There are several other hotels in the same chain as the Casablanca that offer the same amenities as the Casablanca:

the Elysee

the Library

the Giraffe

Imo all these other hotels are nicer than the Casablanca. They are all considered boutique hotels though so no dedicated separate check in etc.

Sofitel in Manhattan doesn%26#39;t, but both Ritz-Carlton hotels offer ';club level'; accommodations with the dedicated lounge offering multiple food %26amp; beverage presentations throughout the day and into the evening; in my club-level experiences with R-C properties elsewhere, they do a superb job with it. If it matters to you -- and it sounds like you will take advantage of it more than most guests, the R-C%26#39;s offerings are more expansive and varied than any of the other hotels mentioned so far in this thread.

The rates at the Ritz-Carlton Battery Park (downtown) are almost always notably lower than at the Ritz at Central Park, and its weekend rates often reflect an appealing discount.

The Marriott Marquis has 2 concierge levels, and Embassy Suites down in the Financial District has full breakfast and manager%26#39;s drinks each evening, similar to Casablanca.

The Hyatt by Grand Central offer club level rooms, with several food ';presentations'; daily, except Sat-Sun.

Prices are decent..and I like a good Hyatt. Haven%26#39;t stayed myself, tho.

Thanks for all the responses, just wading through the Hotels websites for information. Liked the look of the Broadway Marriot but doesnt do the concierge level at weekends !!

Thanks again

Dave

The New York Palace is just the best hotel if you want an executive lounge - we go a couple of times a year, for long weekend breaks, the food is great, the concierges are brill and if you shop around the prices at weekends aren%26#39;t too bad! When we go there we eat out occasionally but most of the time the lounge offers all we need - breakfast, lunch, cocktails (champagne)and canapes (actually they%26#39;re a lot more than just nibbles)then desserts and liqueurs. Much better and more refined than Jumeirah Beach hotel in Dubai, been there too!

I have to be honest and say that US executive lounges are pathetic compared to international lounges.

For the Hilton 6th ave the evening canapes are boring and you pay for drinks.The contrast to say the Hilton Kuala Lumpur is chalk and cheese.The lounge in NYC is also a zoo at times.

Hilton Times Square does not have an exec. lounge.

So really dont expect your international experiences to be mirrored in NYC.

Thanks all,

drron - thanks for the insight, I think I was coming to that conclusion myself and was wondering if I had got my priorities wrong in looking for a hotel in NYC.

teddygirl - the Palace seems to offer the best experience of this level, thanks for that. We stayed at the Mina a Salam, Dubai ( Fantastic place ! ). Also, like your avatar - but dont think yours and mine would get on.
