CLIENT COMMENTS:

" I would like to tell you how pleased I was with my stay at the Elysee Hotel in NYC. Although I had reserved a double room, I was upgraded to a one bedroom suite. It was just lovely! The staff was most attentive and I particularly enjoyed the breakfast and wine and cheese in the afternoons. I plan to stay there the next time I go to New York!"
