Concierge.com's insider take:

If Louis XVI were alive today and in the market for a New York pied-à-terre, this landmark on 55th at Fifth Avenue is the hotel he'd pick. The gilded, marble-clad lobby and 256 rooms and suites are unabashedly ornate, even after the 2006 renovations. The rooms have been simplified and brought up to date with color schemes of steel blue and green or daffodil and more modern plush furniture, but the crystal chandeliers, elaborate draped canopies, and carved plaster moldings remain—as does the studiedly Old World elegance. The regal Astor Court is still ideal for afternoon tea, and the adjacent King Cole Bar with its famous Maxfield Parrish mural is the place to order a Bloody Mary; it was invented here. There is also a lavish spa, and guests can e-mail special requests to their personal butlers.

From the readers of Condé Nast Traveler:
This Beaux Arts landmark is "an oasis in Midtown." Rooms, where guests enjoy the attention of "outstanding 24-hour butlers," have palettes of blue and gray or cream and yellow; the hotel recently unveiled its Bottega Veneta Suite. A new restaurant by Alain Ducasse is slated to open in January 2008, and the mural in the King Cole Bar has emerged from a $100,000 restoration.
