This weekend, we stayed at the just-opened , a 190-room Upper East Side newbie perched on a posh block just off Central Park. Inside a pre-war building fresh off of a $60 million renovation, the luxe property (a member of the Affinia Hotels family) has only been open since October 15th. We got in there to check the place out for you -- you know, before you shell out the $500+ for a night there.

Take a peek at some of the photos we snapped; stay tuned for the full review in the New York section of zzdtravel.
