Luxury Conrad Style

by David J. Cox

This place is simply amazing.

Built in the wonderful TriBeCa development and close by the 9/11 Memorial, this LEED certified, modern monument to class is something to witness first hand.

From the moment you enter, the architecture takes your breath away with vaulted ceiling and modern, comfortable couches set up under a striking blue and purple Sol LeWitt painting, ‘Loopy Doopy’, rising 13 stories high!

It is also ideally located, with several Danny Meyer restaurants and a movie theater within the development. A stroll across the street and you are at the foot of the World Trade Center or walking through the upscale and impressive Brookfield Place mall.

But you might not want to ever leave your room. Many of the western facing rooms have a view of the Hudson River and each room is a suite with a lounge separated from the bedroom by a very high end bathroom and magnificent shower that a guest could be lost in for days!

The bed is quite simply the most comfortable I have ever slept in , and the quietness of the staff and hotel in general offers even the lightest sleeper a good night’s rest. A stay in this haven is an exercise in luxury and pampering, and the high-end amenities were only matched by the unparalleled service and renowned pieces of art that fill the suites and hallways.

If hungry, indulge and enjoy the superb culinary creations at the Atrio Wine Bar & Restaurant, where the evening also offers quite and softly lit alcoves for lovers and others to meet and enjoy a private moment.

The only drawback was that we visited while the magnificent rooftop terrace was closed!.
