your favorite ice cream flavor is pistachio did you say? fill out a simple form prior to check-in at the new alex hotel, and you might just find it in your room when you arrive.

this new david rockwell creation will have its official opening next week where guests will be welcomed through a zen-like bamboo entrance, nary a sign of business (all computer equipment is available upon request).

come november, you'll find ringo - a new japanese interpretive restaurant by aquavit owner and acclaimed chef marcus samuelsson. the restaurant will provide 24-hour room service with everything from sushi to midnight-snack hamburgers. and lucky for guests - no bumping into bed corners on the way to loo in the 600 to 800 square-foot suites.
now if only rockwell could help figure out your desk situation.
