    My husband and I absolutely love staying at The Shelburne Sonesta New York. It's always our first choice when we're in the city, and this visit was no exception. I had left a few items behind and was dismayed to think they were long gone, but Arelis Nuñez, the Assistant Director of Front Office, went above and beyond to ensure they were safely returned to me. From start to finish, Arelis was not only professional but also incredibly friendly and caring. We are always so impressed with the service and warmth from the entire staff. We can’t wait to return and stay with them again! Read less
