Travel: A few bites of the Big Apple
20.05.11
On the corner of 5th Avenue and 36th Street in New York City, the Setai Fifth Avenue awaits. A luxury hotel/residence inside of which the decor oozes in sophistication and high style — as a Fifth Avenue residence should.
Open since November 2010, the perks of a new hotel are found at every turn. First, a high-tech refrigerator full of yogurts, waters, soda and gelato, plus a bowl of mixed fresh fruits, chocolates and Taittinger Rose champagne will be waiting for you in your room, as part of the Suite Surrender package.
Next, blooming orchids on an end table in the living room add to the ambiance of a romantic welcome, and if you’re one of those big-lights, big-city people, the skyscraper view will fulfill all your aesthetic needs.
Last but not least, a beckoning bed in the bedroom closes off for comfort and soundproof sleep. But it is the bathroom that has drawn my full attention. The sunken tub’s invitation for a healing soak is a definite “yes” on that RSVP, with complimentary salts. And, for the shower bound, the rain-shower head is a splurge in itself.
