THIS HOTEL IS FABULOUS IN EVERY REGARD! First of all, you'll want to steal your (2) Conrad metal water containers. Don't bother to steal them... they are a gift! Second, the robes are to die for. You can also buy them. 3rd of all, the toiletries are worldcat with scents that please and don't overwhelm you. We were in NYC for only 3 days. I booked a trip for my french brother-in-law and his wife, who had never been to NY before. I wanted to avoid the Times Square/Mid-Town area as I was told by friends that Times Square and mid-town areas had returned to the homeless drug invested hole they were when I lived in NYC in the early 90's. I am really glad I chose the Conrad Downtown. Architeturally, it is stunning. The lobby is a modern, cavernous, chic, soothing lightshow with an adjacent, elegant bar/restaurant. You will think you stepped into a movie set of future world. The hotel staff is as professional as you can ask for and incredibly helpful. The place is immaculate! The rooms are cleaner than that! I've stayed in 5 Star hotels that weren't as clean and their so-called 5-Star staff did not perform any where near the level of the Downtown Conrad. This hotel is the epitomy of how to run a worldclass hotel. They have valet parking or you can park your car yourself in the same lot about a 3 minute walk from the hotel. When I lived in NYC, there was nothing but empty office buildings in the Financial District. Today, it has families, playgounds, parks, bars, restaurants and is clean and safe... safe... safe! The hotel rooms were modern and featured all new modern Lutron contactless switches. The room was so clean, I fel like it had just been renovated and I was the first to occupy it. Kudos the cleaning staff. The bathroom and showers were separate and had heavy glass doors. The showerheads featured rain head waterfalls. The fridge was completely stocked. There was a Nepresso machine and various coffe tabs. There were two tvs, one one in the entry alcove and one in the bedroom. There was a sliding glass door that separated the bedroom from the rest of the room such that, if one person wanted to sleep and the other stay up and watch tv, one could do so without disturbing the other. If you think the Conrad is too far from the mid-town or uptown action, think again. Not only did we tour Wall Street, the Battery and the entire financial district but we were a stones throw cab ride away from the Meat Packing Distirct, Chelsea, The Village, Soho, Little Italy, Chinatown, the Brooklyn Bridge. We also toured the Upper Westside, did the Museum of Nat History, The Hayden Planetarium, took a tuk-tuk tour ride across Central Park (a must do) to 5th Avenue and the Eastside, saw the Guggenheim french exhibition, The Plaza Hotel, Rock Center, Times Square etc. Ate in Little Korea and went to the top of the World Trade Center just before they closed at 7 pm to get a stunning view of NJ, Brooklyn, Queens and Uptown lit up like a carpet of Christmas Trees. Breathtakingly beauitful. I highly, highly recommend the Conrad Downtown both as a hotel and a location. We safely walked everywhere at night in the area without fear, threat or people sleeping on streets. One of the very best NYC trip experiences ever. Spend a little more and just stay at the Conrad Hilton. You will not regret it! Yes, you can have it all! …
