<New York>Andaz 5th Avenue, by Hyatt
As New York transitions into the fall and winter seasons, hotel prices are on the rise. ๐๐ The Andaz on 5th Avenue, with its prime location right in front of the New York Public Library, is a standout choice. ๐ For globetrotters checking in, the hotel generously upgraded us to a higher floor with a corner view. ๐The standard room was spacious, offering plenty of room to stretch out. A nice perk: the minibarโs non-alcoholic items are all complimentary, a standard feature at Andaz. ๐ฅค The breakfast was delightful. On the first day, I ordered a $100 breakfast buffet โ the portions were so generous that I couldnโt finish it all and ended up taking home some fruit and yogurt. ๐๐ Later, I tried their French toast, which was delicious. During peak hours at 10 AM, the restaurant can get a bit crowded, and you might wait about five minutes for a table. ๐At checkout, if youโre a Globalist member, theyโll pre-set a tip for you, as the 18% gratuity goes directly to the staff, but the hotel foots the bill. ๐ฅช One notable feature is that the in-room TV offers pay-per-view movies from the cinema. I was surprised to find that the $28 fee for Mission Impossible was waived at checkout. ๐ฌ ๐๐ For global travelers, this is an excellent place to redeem C7 vouchers in New York โ a great value for your points. ๐ #NewYork #NYC #Andaz #CentralPark ๐๐
