Fodor's Expert Review The Chatwal, a Luxury Collection Hotel, New York City

130 W. 44th St., New York, New York, 10036, USA Fodor's Choice

A lavishly refurbished reincarnation of a classic Manhattan theater club, the Chatwal delivers a stylish, luxury experience with a matching price tag. The lobby, saturated in red leather and marble, with gilded touches, plays on the property's art deco legacy. Its ground-floor restaurant, the Lambs Club, extends the grand atmosphere and serves fine American cuisine. Guest rooms and suites—some with terraces—are opulent yet understated, with faux-leather cabinets designed to resemble classic luggage; Shifman mattresses and Frette linens; and interactive bedside consoles that control lighting, television, and curtains.
