“Honeymoon Trip.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 29, 2012

We stayed here for 6 nights as part of our honeymoon travels. We have stayed in many 5 star hotels around the world and overall the Setai was very average.

Positive points:
-Every concierge we spoke to was very helpful and pleasant.
-The house car was very convenient and we used it on 2 occasions.
-Room was a good size and the hotel is in a good location.

Negative points:
-When we went to use the Nespresso machine in the room there was sour milk in there - had not been cleaned from previous guests.
-I asked for some milk to be brought to the room so we could have a coffee however when it arrived we were charged $19 for the privilege!
-The spa was very average. The relaxation area was very small and not very private. Both of us had treatments but the therapists seemed very rushed. Also for the level of service we received it was way overpriced.

Overall we still had a fantastic time in New York. I think for a business trip this hotel would be more than adequate however it is not a luxury hotel. It just did not meet our high expectations.

“Setai Fifth Avenue exceeds expectations”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 27, 2012

The Setai Fifth Avenue (no relation to The Setai South Beach) is one of ten properties worldwide managed by Capella Hotels. The boutique hotel opened in late 2010 and is located in Midtown just steps from The Empire State Building and Bryant Park.

The Setai places a strong emphasis on service and style. Staff are universally attentive and guests receive a welcome call after arriving to ensure everything is to their satisfaction, rooms all come with free wi-fi and a turn down service which leaves nightly treats. Something I appreciated was the attention given to their furnishings which are both beautiful and comfortable; adding appeal to both the body and the eye.

The stylish amenities continue in the large bathroom which includes an oversized tub that even I could fit in comfortably, ample vanity space, and a soothing shower all within easy eye shot of a small flat screen T.V.

HINT: Business travelers will like the complimentary overnight shoe shine service (esp. when visiting NYC in the winter).

“Having a bad experience”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 24, 2012 via mobile

Came back to room after a long night out to find the room had not been cleaned...THOROUGHLY DISAPPOINTED and embarrassed to have to stand in our room while it is being serviced. To make matters worse Emir the night manager wants to fight with us. Way to go Setai!

“Rest and Relaxation in NYC”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 23, 2012

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay at the Setai. The staff were all quite professional and personable. Room service was delicious. Our room, a corner suite, was extremely clean and quiet. We appreciated the extra touches thanks to the personal assistants. Looking forward to our next stay in the future!

“Enchanting Midtown Getaway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 22, 2012 via mobile

The Setai Fifth Avenue certainly exceeds the expectations. From the elegant decor to the fantastic service, this hotel is the prime choice for a mid-town stay. The rooms are spectacular, the staff is friendly and consistently goes above and beyond to make your stay the best possible experience. The food in the restaurant is spectacular, and their lounge provides a tranquil space while still providing a view of the city streets. My bartenders in particular, a girl named Emily and a fellow named Vinnie made certain my experience felt personal. I could not have felt more pampered and could not consider using another hotel after this experience.
