Trendy hotel with restaurant, bar and gym in the heart of New York's theatre district.
A darling of New Yorkers since it opened in 1990, the Paramount is located in the heart of the theater district. A convenient but not very exciting location. The appeal lies elsewhere. Firstly, the staff are young and handsome, boys and girls in black Armani tuxedos. Secondly, Philippe Starck's décor - dark hall, giant chandelier, colored sofas arranged under the open-arched staircase - seduces with its intriguing, trendy and decadent look. On the second floor, a restaurant encircles and dominates the lobby behind its smoked glass. On the same level is the gym, which is necessarily modern. An avalanche of clever, amusing and sophisticated little tricks, right down to the tip of the gold-tipped black matches distributed to the 610 rooms. Rather small, but intimately sexy: large black and white checked carpets, white bedspread, designer table and lamp, lacquered walls and a large gold-framed picture. And let's not forget the bar, one of the most in-your-face in New York, and a wonderful games room. Looking for a new breed of hotel?

Staff will be courteous and helpful. The rooms are on the small side - and if you're not used to NYC prices the rate may feel high but it's really not. It's comparable with the other hotels in the area as is the amount of space. Did not try any of the hotel restaurants - we were too close to good pizza and food carts to bother. I will say that's the other nice thing about the location - Patzeria Perfect Pizza is next door (yes there's a line, wait in it anyway), Hurley's Restaurant & Bar is like two blocks away, Pati's is right on the corner for breakfast.
Overall would recommend for the theater tripper.
Editing to add - the elevators are slow. Don't fall into the trap of thinking "we can leave late, the theater is right across the street." It is right across the street but everyone in the hotel is also waiting for the elevator to go right across the street. Plan extra time.
