Scene
This stylish boutique attracts a refined clientele.
With 61 rooms, the Seton is a small boutique property that rarely feels too crowded or loud; even its Midtown location borders the edge of quieter Murray Hill, and feels removed from the hustle and bustle of the heart of the city.Perhaps due to its small size, the Seton has few on-site features; guests will even have to venture outside of the hotel for a snack or meal, and there is no spa or fitness center. However, the hotel does offer free passes to a nearby gym, and the stylish lounge, featuring a flat-screen TV, Art Decor decor, and plush seating, is a nice place to sip on the free coffee and tea that is offered in the visitors center.
