Had a lovely experience. Augustus served us and was super friendly and helped us through the menu even recommending cocktails which were fantastic, the food was as we ordered, and. The cocktails worked perfectly with what we ordered… we then found out that he has only just started his new role with the Hard Rock Hotel in NY, and it was his first week, you would never have known. The menu isn’t big, but great for everyone and the food was fab. Also really enjoyed every cocktail made by Antonio from Argentina…. Very chilled bar, in the middle of Times Square but feel like 100 miles away. 🙏 Read less

We had a lovely couple of days staying at the hotel. The rooms are well designed, comfortable and clean. We enjoyed dinner in the hotel which was enhanced by our waiter Augustus, who looked after us wonderfully.
