We stayed at the Conrad during a work + fun trip to NYC from Baltimore. We were checked in by Darwin, who, in all honesty, may be the nicest representative of a hotel we have ever met. He was jovial and kind and gave us EXCELLENT suggestions for meals. The Conrad should hold on tight to Darwin -- and give that man a raise if you can. He makes the hotel look good!
Every aspect of our stay was perfect. The room was spacious and clean. EVERY member of staff we met - from folks we met in the elevator - to the kind gentleman who delivered a refrigerator to our room (can't remember his name, but we believe it was Rahman) - to the awesome guys who welcomed patrons at the door - was genuinely friendly.
We left our phone charger cords jumbled up behind the alarm clock and returned to our room to find them neatly wrapped and wrangled with a Conrad brand cord wrapper! They leave no stone unturned in the effort to make their guests feel like the hotel is a home away from home.
Located SO close to the 9/11 memorial and the Oculus, it is very easy to get around the city by subway.
As civil servants, we typically cannot afford to stay at the NYC Conrad in any season other than winter, but it is now our favorite hotel in NYC. We will definitely return next winter. HIGHLY recommend!
