This was such a wonderful experience. I was coming from a horrible red eye flight and 2 hours of sleep, and I was so relieved to step into this hotel. They handled my luggage for me from the moment my car pulled up to the moment I got back in the car! The staff held some packages for me, gave me a tour, and they were so attentive and welcoming. I ordered in-room dining for breakfast lunch and dinner, every meal was delicious and arrived so fast they also allowed me a late check out and squeezed me in for a very last minute spa appointment. I enjoyed morning yoga with their complimentary yoga equipment in the rooms had a wonderful nights sleep and all in all, will always be staying here when I visit New York. Something I loved as a woman traveling alone was the door lock was not a typical hotel-door lock. Also the elevator to the rooms is inaccessible from the main floor I felt very safe here. Thank you equinox staff for a great stay :)

I've only had 3 girlfriends in my life, of which only 1 really counts. I remember the 1st one basically giving me an out & I kind of just let her dump me. The 2nd one I just didn't really like. My brother still gets a kick out of our text message exchange. It was a Good Morning followed by a Goodnight until a few days would pass & she'd curse me off. So that ended badly. Fortunately, I have a fianc now who has taken some self defense classes & swears to protect me from any possible knife wielding ex's. So it stands to reason that I would need to treat my current gf, now fianc, happy. The saying is a bit cliche, so I'm going to refrain from using it. Regardless, she's a catch in all the ways that matter. So I like to reciprocate whenever possible, even though she's not the type to indulge herself in the over the top manners I've grown accustomed to. I guess it's my love language. Her birthday is mid-August. I decided I wanted to get her an amazing gift & told her we were going to have a Stay-cation in NYC. It helped my situation in that I could not afford to miss work, but it also allowed us to plan a weekend getaway. You can imagine her delight when I began to lay out the details. I explained that while I worked the first night, she could hang out with her besties & pamper themselves until I arrived the next night. Best case scenario, I walk in to a full fledged R rated pillow fight, worst case she's hungover from fancy champagne. Either way, happy wife... My decision on the hotel was based on the view. I found one hotel that is located by a bridge. Don't ask me which one, I get lost walking down the street. It looked cool, & I was about to book it, but then I stumbled upon the Equinox Hotel. This place emanated luxury. I looked through the hotel rooms & it had the coolest design work I'd ever seen in a hotel. Then there was the view, I'd never stayed at a place overlooking NY & my decision was easily made. The ladies had a great time their first night. They spent their time at the fancy bar called the Electric Lemon Rooftop Terrance. They took pictures & drank the night away. Unfortunately, it stayed PG & they kept it kosher. They had their sleepover & woke up early the next day to hit up their fancy spa. The cool part when it comes to the Spa is that the Equinox is tied to my Amex Platinum so it was essentially free due to the perks of being a cardholder. As a Platinum member, my fianc got free breakfast in bed, anything she & her friend wanted. The next night I got to experience it as well. I guess I'm not used to luxury hotel dining because I spent at least 10 minutes just trying to pry one of the trays open that the food came in to stay warm. My fianc came out of the shower in their beautiful robe watching me try to pry the things open when a spoon. She casually just lifted it open & to this day I'm dumbfounded over the ordeal. Excellent food though, definitely stayed warm. The room itself is essentially state of the art. You press a button and the blind rolls up. You press any number of other buttons to control specific areas of the room. The lighting was setup for whatever type of mood you insisted upon. Then there was the bed. After a long days work I barely jumped on it at all. I basically sank into it & passed out. I'd originally arrived to an empty room. The black out blinds & bed combined into the most comfort I've ever experienced & was like an instantaneous Ambien. I was down for the count. The next day was spent in the pool. It was not very large so it got packed very quickly but it had a nice view of the surrounding area. They gave us smoothies & we relaxed poolside. On our way to the pool we had passed the workout facilities. They had very nice looking machines & seemed to be worth the price of admission. I thought about doing some arm curls or a little biking to work off the pancakes, but I gave my belly a smack & it didn't jiggle enough to warrant the effort. Overall, I've stayed at a bunch of hotels over the years. If I had to pick one girl & 1 hotel it'd be my fianc & the Equinox.
