Editorial Review
The stylish Marcel Hotel, a traditional favorite with guests in fashion, film and theater, sits in the historic Murray Hill neighborhood in East Midtown Manhattan. The Marcel puts guests close to the Empire State Building and the trendy Flatiron district, named for a triangular-shaped building on 23rd Street that has become one of the city's most popular centers with designer boutiques and chichi restaurants, such as Craft and the long-established Gramercy Tavern. What's more, a subway close to the hotel can whisk Marcel guests to anywhere in New York.
Guests can start their mornings out by enjoying a cappuccino as well as visiting the library later in the day. Hotel accommodations include such amenities as a business center, complimentary use of a nearby fitness center, cell-phone rental, concierges, dry cleaning and babysitting.
The distinctly contemporary Marcel with a minimalist decor and streamlined lobby area is appointed in teak wood with strong influences from funky Greenwich Village and SoHo. Guest rooms continue the contemporary theme, with rich woods and platform beds made with fine linens and down duvets. All rooms are equipped with CD players, safes, cable/satellite TVs with pay movies, Internet access, and windows that open.
Guests looking for a unique New York City hotel in a quiet, residential neighborhood and different from the usual fare in midtown Manhattan will find the Marcel Hotel beckoning to them as the perfect choice to create memories.
