This large pre-war building which occupies the entire east block front on Seventh Avenue between 50th and 51st Streets was formerly the Taft Hotel. The area is a fabulous, mixed-use urban environment with superb public transportation, proximity to Rockefeller Center, interesting architecture, many tourists, many theatre goers, and a lot of traffic. The beige-brick building has a health club on its 22nd floor, a concierge and a doorman. The hotel is close to many fine restaurants ranging from casual to upscale and is centrally located to many fine attractions.
