New York: Once Again, LHW Is The Way To Go For Cheaper Rates, This Time At The Setai Fifth Avenue

MsRebecca — 2010-10-26T09:10:09-05:00

We've seen this happen before--with The Chatwal New York--and now Leading Hotels of the World comes to the rescue of luxury-loving but deal-seeking hotel fans yet again. This time, it's with its newest member, The Setai Fifth Avenue.

This hotel--not a GHM property like The Setai Miami (although it is also in the LHW portfolio), but a Capella Resort--is set to open on November 1st, although the first date you can book is November 8.

Standard rooms--the cheapest category--are not available on that first night via the hotel's own website reservation system, although Superior rooms are and start at $595 a night.

But then, it is slightly difficult to hit all the Forte uber-luxury hotels; there are only 13 all around the world. This week however, since we're back in Germany, we had to get ourselves all up in the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Rocco+Forte+Villa+Kennedy/ian/239709">Villa Kennedy</a>, a 163-room 5-star property which was once a private family home and also a stop on President John F.
