The staff is impeccable and accommodating. Upon my arrival to NYC, the temperatures had soared past 100 degrees and I was dripping in sweat by the time I got the hotel. The lobby was cool, check-in quick and I was soon in my room \u2013 I was upgraded to a junior suite \u2013 where I could cool off.<\/p>\n<p>The room was incredibly large by NYC standards. My junior suite had a desk, wet-bar area w\/mini-bar (stocked and incredibly expensive!) a lovely living room area with a comfy couch and a TV wall that swiveled 180 degrees so it could be watched in the bedroom or living room. The bathroom was large, with a wonderful shower and Peter Thomas Roth products \u2013 which I adore. The Le Meridien touches are everywhere. One bright orange wash cloth, a terry cloth robe with an orange belt, chic bedding &amp; fabulous pillows!<\/p>\n<p>My first night I tried one of the Burger Joint\u2019s famous burgers \u2013 it was amazing. I had onion straws, mushrooms and cheddar cheese. As the reviews say \u2013 there\u2019s almost always a line for the Burger Joint, hidden behind a curtain in the hotel lobby \u2013 so expect to wait a few minutes for their delicious burgers. The second night, I tried room service. They were very fast! Not feeling well, I decided to try some matzo ball soup which was filled with fresh chicken, carrots, onions and celery. The matzo balls were just like my mom makes \u2013 light and fluffy. It is true, when you are sick, matzo ball soup is the best remedy. I had a side of cheesy mac-n-cheese which was very, very rich and creamy, hot tea and a milkshake. I think I overdosed on milk! It was all marvelous though!<\/p>\n<p>I used the concierge to book a spa appointment. The hotel\u2019s spa \u2013 Gravity \u2013 offers massages, but I was in the mood for a manicure\/pedicure. They booked me at a local spa about \u00bd a block away, called Escape. I was fully expecting to pay $150 for the services, but was pleasantly surprised to find very, very reasonable prices ($35 pedicure, $29 manicure) I was so surprised by the prices, I decided to add on 30 minutes of reflexology for $50. The staff was welcoming and the spa was clean. I would definitely return to Escape Day Spa anytime I\u2019m in NYC! Check out my <a href=\"http:\/\/verygoodpoints.blogspot.com\/2011\/07\/escape-skin-care-salon-and-day-spa-nyc.html\">review<\/a> of Escape Spa NYC.<\/p>\n<p>The location is so convenient \u2013 made it easy to work and play! I love the Le Meridien brand, and I was thrilled with my visit to Le Parker Meridien. I would highly recommend a stay anytime you\u2019re in the city.<\/p>\n<p>Living Room<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-AolYWuDm4-0\/Tiw-9nkyeLI\/AAAAAAAAIwQ\/Kk_Rmpn6g6M\/s1600\/LeParker%2BLivingroom.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-AolYWuDm4-0\/Tiw-9nkyeLI\/AAAAAAAAIwQ\/Kk_Rmpn6g6M\/s320\/LeParker%2BLivingroom.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"239\" height=\"320\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Bedroom<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-UnS31gbBRwg\/Tiw_CM5_SxI\/AAAAAAAAIwY\/yjYdVbgR_Ds\/s1600\/LeParkerMeridienBed.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-UnS31gbBRwg\/Tiw_CM5_SxI\/AAAAAAAAIwY\/yjYdVbgR_Ds\/s320\/LeParkerMeridienBed.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"239\" height=\"320\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Swivel TV Wall<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-A5qcYQRuy9g\/Tiw_F2KxHPI\/AAAAAAAAIwg\/AwlHS0kagf0\/s1600\/LeParkerTV.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-A5qcYQRuy9g\/Tiw_F2KxHPI\/AAAAAAAAIwg\/AwlHS0kagf0\/s320\/LeParkerTV.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"239\" height=\"320\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Best Do Not Disturb Sign EVER!<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/--68BK5kTMr8\/Tiw_uGGLYSI\/AAAAAAAAIw4\/jBL8XAiCKx0\/s1600\/LeParkerDoNotDisturb.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/--68BK5kTMr8\/Tiw_uGGLYSI\/AAAAAAAAIw4\/jBL8XAiCKx0\/s320\/LeParkerDoNotDisturb.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"70\" height=\"320\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Le Parker Meridien is located on 56th between 6th and 7th just blocks from central park and every theatre you could possibly want to visit.
