Thanks to the New York Social Diary, who attended our grand re-opening party to celebrate our new look and enjoyed bites from Paola’s.
“The Hotel Wales is the perfect place to dump your relatives when they visit for Thanksgiving or other holidays. Just a thought…”
You know, we hadn’t thought about it that way – but it’s totally true. Hotel Wales is smartly positioned in the Upper East Side and offers the quaint, quiet ambiance your family members would love. Plus, they will be super close to all the great restaurants, which means you won’t have to cook for them every night.
