As luck would have it, we just returned from a stay at the Shelburne Murray Hill using points. We were in a two bedroom apartment with a balcony that ran the length of the apartment and overlooked the Empire State Building. The staff was great and so was the room. The beds have been replaced and were wonderful! They are planning a renovation in August for the remaining furnishings and carpeting. I would stay here again.
BAD NEWS---ACCORDING TO MEMBER SERVICES THEY HAVE REMOVED SHELBURNE MURRAY HILL AS A NYC OPTION--THAT ONLY LEAVES THE REGENT
