Fodor's Review:

Every effort has been made to retain the turn-of-the-20th-century mood of this 1901 Carnegie Hill landmark -- from the cavernous lobby to the Pied Piper parlor, where vintage children's illustrations cover the walls. A complimentary European-style breakfast is served in the parlor; on a nice day head up to the rooftop terrace with your treats. Guest rooms are small, but they do have fine oak woodwork, and all are equipped with CD players. Most of the suites face Madison Avenue; unfortunately, soundproof windows are not de rigueur. The lovely Sarabeth's Restaurant, a local favorite for brunch, is in the hotel.
