“Old New York elegance, aging bones”

The Sherry Netherland occupies a gorgeous corner at 59th and Fifth facing Central Park: large, well-decorated rooms with supremely comfy beds, fresh flowers and chocolate at check-in, coffee, water and newspapers provided, breakfast downstairs at historic Cipriani, and staff repeatedly described as feeling like family. Honest caveats come from its bones: the building is largely a senior residence, so interiors feel dated despite being clean, the minibar holds basic chargeable items, and one guest calls it best suited to older travellers who enjoy quiet grandeur — rates run high too.
