Talk:Piedmont Hotel

"New York" or Northern-style hotel?
A cursory online search did not produce any explanation of what might be meant by a "New York" or Northern-style hotel.

Is this an architectural term? Does it refer to the arrangement of rooms or toilet and bathing facilities? Restaurant? Perhaps its a bit of puffery used to promote the hotel? I am clueless. I think the phrase should either be explained or deleted. Right now it just takes up space.
