Fancy Hotel for 40th celebration??

Hello Guy%26#39;s

I%26#39;m organising my own 40th birthday! ( I always organise the hols!!)

I%26#39;m 40 NEXT January and my wife and I want to spend 3/4 nights in our fav city. I want a stylish midtown hotel, 4*+, with a fantastic room, perhaps with a view? Price is no objection, well $400 per room per night??

We want it to be pretty special. Any suggestions please, then we can look on the web.

Many thanks in advance

Rousey!

Jan. is a great time to find bargains but you likely won%26#39;t see them this far in advance. Unfortunately, $400/night is no longer a big budget so just ';nice'; hotels may cost that now. Some ideas for stylish midtown that might have views

Fancy Hotel for 40th celebration??

January is, indeed, a great time to get hotel deals in New York. The 4-star Millenium UN Plaza offers guaranteed great views because guest rooms don`t start until the 28th floor. They also frequently offer great deals when the United Nations isn`t in session. It`s located on E. 44th Street (a bit out of the way, but still midtown) between 1st and 2nd Avenues. It`s in a relatively quiet, nice, residential area adjacent to the UN. Checking rates for several nights this next week, they`re offering their Junior Suite for $309/$329, depending on the date, and their king full 1 bedroom suite for $409/$429. These are outstanding values for midtown suites at a 4-star property with amazing views. Rooms decor is somewhat minimalist with Asian or Scandinavian accents, putting the focus on the views. There is an indoor pool with equally stunning views, a genial, helpful and knowledgable staff, and the excellent Ambassador Grill on site. I don`t know if they`re booking next January yet, but this is definitely a find and chances are rates will be similar a year from now. Millenium Hotels and Resort 866-866-8086. Of course this early on, chances are that rates will come down later in the year. Book it as soon as you can and you can always cancel up to 24 hours before arrival date if per chance something better comes along.

I must concur. The views alone make The Millenium UN Plaza the perfect place for a celebratory visit to New York. They will literally make you gasp each time you enter your room......even more so after dark. If you can get one of the suites at the previously mentioned great rates, all the better. The Junior suites are lovely, with French doors from the sitting room leading into the bedroom. Check out details and pictures at the hotel`s website at milleniumhotels.com. I find that it`s better to book through the hotel itself (212-247-5400) and not online or at the the Millenium central reservations number. Then you can get room specifics, make requests, and make it clear that this is for a special occasion. For a true celebratory meal, don`t miss the lavish champagne Sunday Brunch ($54) at the hotel`s stylish Ambassador Grill. This is a relative bargain with endless champage and sumptuous, elegant food (even including a Peking duck carving station.) Don`t let the hotel`s location dissuade you. You are 2 short blocks to the 42nd Street crosstown buses, and 4 blocks to the Lexington Avenue Subway. Also only about a 15 minute walk or a quick cab ride to many of the midtown sights and shopping. You`ll enjoy the peacefulness(virtually no street noise from your room), the views and definitely the reasonable rates. Not to be missed.
