The dual-cup in-room coffee maker

The old rooms: Not that bad, but soon to be spruced up.
We stopped in at the Hilton New York yesterday to check up on the room renovations that have been progressing since late last year. Things at the midtown mega-hotel seem to be coming along nicely, as you can see in our video tour of one of the property's 1,980 rooms. (About a third of them are finished to date, and the project should wrap up by late '08.)
What might not show up in our tour are the cute little details. Things like granite counter tops, in-room safes big enough for laptops and nesting desks--surfaces that slide out of the way until you pull them out to use them. Bedside, you'll find a motion-sensitive automatic floor light on both sides of the bed to illuminate those late-night potty breaks.
You'll also find a nice little Cuisinart dual-cup coffee maker in every room--new or old--and you'll have to stay at the Hilton to try it. It's the first and only hotel that has a deal with Cuisinart.
