The hotel is a very kitchy, glamorous, wonderfully staffed property. Its warm greetings by all staff are superlative, and the kitchiness comes from all the unique art, verbiage in all sorts of print, the diversity and wonderful traits of the staff. As far as hotel amenities they are unmatched - from the rooms, food and beverage facilities, amenities, and decor. I would highly recommend The Drake to anyone who is tired of the higher end typical chain hotels, as this property is simply refreshing
