Ultramodern, luxurious, unique, and presented with an Italian flair, a place where guest rooms are referred to as “Spaces” and doormen are called “Impressionists,” the Amalfi is a hotel like no other. It is a place where the experience of providing comfort is as important as the comfort itself. You will have not a just a conversation, but a relationship with your Experience Designer (concierge), who will give you individual attention 24/7. Your Comfort Stylist (housekeeper), who normally turns down your bed on the right, will pay attention to whether or not you sleep on the left, and will thereafter turn down your bed accordingly. A Libation and Leisure Artist (bartender) will pour champagne, wine, or the cocktail of your choice during the manager’s complimentary cocktail hour every evening in the hotel’s intimate 6th-floor lounge. In your Space (room), you’ll find a pillow-top mattress and 316-thread-count Egyptian cotton linens, a CD library, and a multihead shower. “How can I enhance your experience?” asks each employee you pass in the hall. An experience indeed—but try not to let the expectations extend to the driver of the taxi who takes you to your first museum or appointment.
