I remember coming here for dinner with my parents in the early 80s, and seeing Mick Jagger & Lauren Bacall (dining separately), and Anouschka Hempel (the then-owner) elegantly moving around welcoming people. The hotel and restaurant were the place to be.This is no longer that place.We are staying here for three nights, in a 'superior' room. The hotel is showing its age, so the dark striking decor - famous 30 years ago - is ... Less so now. We were notified that the bar is closed for renovation (more on that later), as is the restaurant, for 'a few weeks'. The room was fine, though the sophistication necessary to figure out all the different light switches is annoying. The bathroom does not have a standalone shower: it is a shower-head over the tub, with a curtain that closes in a ring around you. I hate those, as does sweetie. If you are handicapped or infirm, you may not be able to step over the 3ft high tub rim. The bathroom cosmetics are all grapefruit scented. In fact, the whole hotel smells of grapefruit. Good thing my after shave is Hermes Pamplemousse...We went to the small but elegant 'temporary breakfast room' yesterday, looking forward to it. The menu was very simple (no eggs benedict, for example), and I ordered two poached eggs on toast with salmon. Which is what I got: two poached eggs on dry toast with salmon on the side. A little too literal?Look, the staff are great, room service was exactly on time (coffee & croissants). But today, Saturday, the construction started at 8:20a.m. For $400/night, I expect more. I would have stayed at myHotel Chelsea (my usual), nearby and half the price for the same or better. But this was a birthday present from Sweetie..I wouldn't stay here again, but I hope they're able to recapture its former glory
