"This was once the tallest building in the world and modelled after the bell tower of Venice’s St. Mark’s Basilica. Today, it’s a modern, airy clubhouse."

"It’s bang on Madison Square, literally eye-to-eye with the Flatiron, but you’ll not hear one siren squeal; one yellow cab beep; or even the shouts from an overzealous frat party."

"The historic 1909 Met Life clocktower that the property resides in is a highlight in itself, while another top perk is the on-site Michelin-starred restaurant."

"Based around the “hotel as a private home,” this is the sort of house you hope to get invited to dinner."

Should the Lobby Bar be too much of a scene, jog upstairs to the Bar, adjacent to Clocktower, for pints and flights and a round of pool.
