Profile
This European-style boutique hotel doesn’t run with the "King Arthur" theme that its name might suggest. Instead, it goes for a lush, woodsy feel, with green marble columns and mahogany accents in the lobby, and a similarly rich palette in the oversized, 450-square-foot rooms. The suites contain a separate sitting area with a pull-out sofa and second cable TV, as well as an Italian marble bathroom with Frette robes and—in executive suites—a Jacuzzi and bidet. Weary guests are also treated to Irish linens, a five-foot body pillow, and noise-blocking, triple-paned windows. Downstairs, the Merlin Room, conservatively decorated with classical artwork, serves a Continental breakfast. Guests can also cool their heels in the newspaper reading room. The Avalon primarily caters to business travelers and offers easy access to Madison Avenue, Murray Hill, and the Flatiron District.
Pros
The central location and soothing details are ideal for unwinding after work.
Cons
The health club is off-premises.
