What The Moderne actually is
The Moderne is a small independent on West 55th Street between Sixth and Seventh, and it has built a following on the unglamorous virtues: fresh flowers in the rooms, a proper continental breakfast, and staff who remember returning guests.
Rooms are compact and simply decorated. The location is a quiet residential-feeling block that is nonetheless five minutes from Carnegie Hall, seven from Central Park and ten from the theatres. For a couple who want a central base without a lobby scene, it is a sensible choice.

Where it sits
West of Sixth Avenue the city gets louder. Broadway houses, jazz rooms, and the southern lip of Central Park all sit within a few blocks, and almost every subway line in the system passes underneath at some point.
