What Roger Smith Hotel actually is
The Roger Smith has been run by an artist family for decades and behaves accordingly: murals in the public spaces, a working gallery on the ground floor, sculpture in the lobby, and a general refusal to look like a chain hotel.
Rooms are individually decorated and vary considerably — some have kitchenettes, some are unusually large for the price. The location on Lexington Avenue at 47th Street is convenient, with Grand Central four minutes' walk away. It is characterful rather than polished, and that is exactly the appeal.

Where it sits
The corridor of Park and Madison Avenues, where corporate New York keeps its address book. Grand Central sits at its heart, which makes Midtown East one of the easiest places in the city to sleep if you plan to ride trains rather than hail cabs.
