When I stay at this great hotel, I always think: "Why hasn't Samantha Brown been here?" This is a fabulously elegant (but still chic) boutique hotel on 44th between 5th and 6th. It's right in the heart of the city with 5th avenue right up the street, and the theater scene less than a block away. (You can see the Belasco from the entrance!) You're in walking distance of pretty much everything, like the MoMA, Radio City, etc. Plus, it's got it's own restaurant, Triomphe, which was rated (very well) by Zagat's.

Samantha Brown should definitely look into this hotel!
