If the best way to get to Carnegie Hall is practice, practice, practice, the best place to stay is the location, location, location of the nearby Quin Hotel.  Located just down the block from the iconic concert hall, it is at the corner of 57th Street and 6th Avenue, “where music, fashion, and art intersect.”  Once home to pianist Ignacy Paderewski and other artists, the vintage 17-floor low-rise Quin nestles near the mammoth towers that are taking over 57th Street. Totally renovated with luxury finishes and sustainable materials, it offers a comfortable yet urbane option for guests who want convenient, not impersonal, Midtown accommodations.

More than 208 guestrooms in a dozen categories from superior to a 1,900-square-foot penthouse are designed in sophisticated shades of beige, brown and gray and are stocked with a plethora of prestigious brand names: DUX beds are  done up in Sferra Venetian linens with squishy down comforters. Nespresso machines brew beverages to complement artisanal snacks. Marble bathrooms feature spacious ceiling rain showers with Fresh brand products and fixtures by TOTO. High-speed WiFi is complimentary, and suites include two Samsung LED HD TVs with HBO, CNN, MTV and foreign channels.

Guests can relax in the Apple-equipped Drawing Room or arrange in-room massage and spa treatments by Gilded Hands. While there is a state-of-the-art Technogym, Central Park is only two blocks away for joggers. The Attaché concierge service arranges shopping, gallery tours or restaurant reservations for those who choose not to enjoy classic American cuisine prepared by Chef Chris Shea at the on-site Wayfarer grille. For special events such as the U.S. Open, the hotel offers experience packages including breakfast, tickets and car service.

Besides comfort, The Quin prides itself on its artistic heritage and outlook. Artists, patrons and guests assemble for ongoing cultural exhibits, performances and events. An artist-in-residence program, a permanent collection and video displays on the lobby’s 15-foot art wall lend an air of culture. The hotel hosts a cocktail hour in the lobby on Friday and Saturday, an extra opportunity to experience the hospitality of a place described as a “quintessential” hotel.
