“My Admin has the Cornell Club on speed dial.  When my intense

travel schedule takes me to New York City – as it frequently does

– The Club is my favorite place to stay.  It is perfectly located,

expertly managed and reliably comforting.  Plus, I am always

greeted with a warm welcome at the Front Desk and with a

friendly smile at the bar to go with my perfectly mixed beverage. 

When I get to the Club at the end of a pressure-packed day in New

York, the staff seems as happy to see me as I am to be there. The

Cornell Club feels like home.” - Ruben King-Shaw Jr. ’83
