What Sofitel New York actually is
Sofitel's New York property is a purpose-built tower on West 44th Street, opened in 2000, and it is one of the more reliably calm hotels in the Midtown core. The curved limestone and glass exterior was designed to sit comfortably among its older neighbours rather than shout over them.
Rooms are larger than the Midtown average and soundproofed properly, which matters on a block this central. The French management shows in the details — the brasserie, the service style, the bathrooms. Bryant Park is a block east, Times Square two blocks west, and Grand Central a ten-minute walk.

- 01 Above-average room sizes with effective soundproofing
