Perhaps it’s me, but Silks was one of the most romantic rooms in The City — much like the Park Hyatt (now Le Meridien), the Mandarin Oriental — don’t you just love that name? — really caters to an old-school clientele who appreciates knowledgeable doormen, appointed rooms, and the bespoke cuisine you could often find at Silks.
We’ve not been there in preferring Fifth Floor at the Palomar Hotel for the same affect.
But it will be missed, all the same.
