Le Parker Meridien New York
Information & Amenities
Hotel Information: A stone-like, mirror-lined hall with a three-story, painted and vaulted ceiling leading to an airy atrium heralds the uncluttered style offered by Le Parker Meridien New York. Cherrywood paneling warms the reception area, which includes cappuccino-colored, plush-fabric seats with chrome accents. Heels click on a red-and-tan marble floor.
Insider tip: On weekends, it's wise to arrive at the hotel's tiny, casual Burger Joint when it opens in late morning, or to wait until night—because locals line up in the afternoons to get to the burgers. The joint is hidden away behind a discreet little neon sign off the lobby.
