10-Second Review: The Surrey, New York City

For the past 20 years, I’ve been traveling with an incredible travel pillow (goose down, compact) gifted to me by @thesurreynyc on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. I never fly international without it. The Surrey was always a nice hotel. But then it closed for a bit because it joined the @corinthiahotels portfolio and underwent a complete gutting and total rebuilding under the artistic direction of designer Martin Brudnizki. This is perhaps his most elegant and understated project to date. The Surrey is back! And it is absolutely fabulous. Here’s a very quick look around.
