Top of the Pile

Honestly, It's no Ritz. But frankly, you'd rather stay here. I've been to the Ritz on Place Vendome several times. I've been to every Mandarin Oriental in the world more times than I can count; and I can tell you without a doubt that this hotel is by far one of best I've seen in terms of service. With respect to the area, you can't do any better within at LEAST 50 miles, perhaps more. Going to the area? Need a place to stay? Do yourself a favor and stay there. PS, they have one of the best 8,000 sq. ft. spas I can remember in the last decade. Look, it's upstate NY... But, that shouldn't mean you have to live like a pauper.
