The staff at the Prescott Hotel treats you like royalty, rooms are attractively unfrilly and masculine (not to mention updated in 2004), the location (just a block from Union Square) is perfect, and limited room service is provided by one of the most popular dowtown restaurants, Postrio. Ralph Lauren fabrics in dark tones of green, plum, and burgundy and crip white Italian linens blend well with the cherrywood furnishings in each of the soundproof rooms. The bathrooms contain terry robes and Aveda products, and the suites have Jacuzzi bathtubs. Concierge-level guests are pampered with a free continental breakfast and evening cocktails and hors d' oeuvres.
