traveller with a tale

…stay at The Palace. This incredibly understated Madison Avenue masterpiece is the perfect location for a weekend get away. A few blocks from the crass and overly glitzzy Waldorf, The Palace is, in the centre of the world of New York’s Elite. Avoid the paperatzi and 15 minutes of fame found at those New York establishments pandering to the neauvaux riche and the MTV famous, and stay where taking the limo to the 34th St helipad to be whisked of to your private jet for a weekend in Paris is the norm. The service is as expected in a New York hotel where the staff almost certainly earn more in tips than salery, simply superlative.. Make sure your room is on an executive floor as access to the lounge on the 39th floor with it’s included breakfast, lunch and evening desert and drinks, and it’s view of Manhatten’s Skyline is what makes this hotel one of the top hotels in the world. Oh, did I mention it is the very same Palace as features in Gossip Girl…
