The Stafford is a marvelous hotel -- you feel as though you are in fine home that just happens to be set up for lots of company. The staff are marvelous -- first, highly competent, which is crucial, but on top of that genuinely welcoming and courteous without overdoing it. The American Bar was a real treat especially late-night after theater -- try the Amphora Negroni: a unique treatment of a classic.
