The Bryant Park Hotel (Review)

The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of my mom visiting to celebrate her birthday and a belated Mother's day and then my friend Jaime coming to visit. It was a ton of fun.

When my mom came, she decided that we should live it up and stay in a fancy hotel in the city one night, in celebration of her birthday and belated Mother's Day.  

I managed to get us an awesome rate at the very "fashion centric" The Bryant Park Hotel, which is one of the main hotels that models, designers and celebrities stay in during Fashion Week in New York, since its directly across from and overlooking Bryant Park.  We originally booked a regular room, but because of a shortage of the type of room we booked, the management kindly offered to upgrade us to a 1 bedroom "Bryant Park Suite". It was so amazingly luxurious. I loved it. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat.

The hotel itself is very minimal design-wise, which is always incredibly appealing to me.  It was recently remodeled, so everything feels new and fresh.  For those of you visiting NYC and seeking a "sexy" hotel to stay in, this also fits the bill.  I'll let you discover why on your own, but let's just say that the Bryant Park Hotel offers certain discreet amenities that frisky couples will enjoy taking part in.

So let's talk about the room suite (I love saying that!) we had. Like the rest of the hotel, the design is minimal with lots of clean lines. The bathroom was EXTREMELY luxurious with it's marble floors, rain shower, DEEP DEEP soaking tub and Molton Brown soaps, shampoos, lotions, etc.

On top of an amazing night's sleep and wonderfully relaxing bath, the hotel is SO QUIET! I find this to be a rarity when it comes to hotels, especially New York hotels.

If I was a real reviewer, I'd absolutely give the Bryant Park Hotel five stars.

A little tip for those interested in staying there: I follow them on Twitter and they had posted a tweet saying to send them an email to inquire about special Twitter rates... and they've done it numerous times since I booked mine, so give it a try! What can it hurt?
