Roger Smith Hotel
501 Lexington Avenue | at 47th Street
Midtown East | Manhattan
Susie Says Can you have a bed and breakfast across from the Waldorf-Astoria? Roger Smith's 'creative strategist' James Knowles thinks you can. This is quite large for a B&B, so we'd rather call it a Euro-style boutique hotel. Knowles calls it "a thinking man's hotel that evolves as a work in progress." Hmmm. Call it what you will, this refurbished 1929 hotel, which uses the slogan "Positive, Open, Friendly," delivers eclectically-designed contemporary American accommodations amid the skyscraper-hustle of Midtown. Standard rooms are not huge, but comfortable; all suites are corner units, some suites -- those in the '11' line-have a small terrace. The hotel's location in the heart of Midtown would suggest that it caters to business traveler's; surprisingly, it is most popular with foreign tour groups, adding a bit more cosmo-flavor to cosmopolitan NYC
