Heating / Air Conditioning
Reminder
|
|
|
The environmental HVAC
(Heating, Ventilation, and
Air Conditioning) system at
The Manhattan Club operates
seasonally on a Two Pipe
System.
During Winter, the system
only generates heat.
Adjusting the thermostat to
a cooler setting will only
reduce the amount of heat
supplied to the suite, not
introduce cool air. If the
suite becomes excessively
warm, it is advisable to
switch the fan off to halt
the heat flow.
In Summer, the system solely
provides air conditioning.
Adjusting the thermostat to
a warmer setting will only
decrease the amount of cool
air, not introduce heat. If
you feel too cold, it is
recommended to switch the
control off.
In transitional seasons,
neither heating nor air
conditioning is active. Air
circulation can be achieved
by selecting a preferred fan
speed. If the suite's
temperature is
uncomfortable, please
contact the Front Desk at
extension 0 from your
in-suite phone, and every
effort will be made to
ensure your comfort during
your stay.

“Dear Manhattan Club Team. I
have been an Owner for 20
years, since 2004. The team
you have on board now with
Gabby and Adam at the Front
Desk are the best yet. Their
personalities are
scintillating, sharp, and
full of fun and ideas. I
look forward to returning

Also, please know that
Nenad, your distinguished

truly professional man,
interesting to talk with and
a great mixologist. This was
