Top Law Schools

I have a reasonable number of callbacks with NYC firms coming up, and I'm trying to decide which one I should ask to be my host firm. Ideally I'd like a centrally located hotel since most of the firms I'm looking at are in midtown (some a bit further east, some further west). So to answer my question and to help future generations, I thought it'd be helpful if we put together a list of where particular firms are known to house people during callbacks. (One such thread was started last year but didn't get very far.) At the moment I have callbacks with a few V10s and V20s (don't want to out myself by listing specifics), so any info on them would be particularly welcome for me, but please include anything you've got!

I'll start - first, here's a link to last year's thread: http://top-law-schools.com/forums/viewt ... s+callback

Also, last year Wachtell used the Hilton on 54th and 6th Avenue, which was about a block or two away from their office.

Cahill uses Gild Hall downtown. Really far downtown. But nice because it's two blocks from the firm

Looks like Quinn Emmanuel uses:

The Carlton Hotel
88 Madison Ave.
New York NY 10016

How do you go about arranging hotels? The firms I've gotten cbs from so far have given me numbers for travel agencies they use, but included no information about hotels. Do you book it and have them reimburse you?

S&C used Gild Hall (downtown) last year, pretty meh but interesting. DPW uses a few different hotels right around grand central, and I imagine STB uses similar since they're in the exact same location.

You call the travel agency, the travel agency books your travel and hotel (as needed).

A bunch of Midtown East firms used the Kimberly Hotel, 145 East 50th Street, New York, NY. Nice quiet place, good location, with a pretty sweet rooftop lounge.

This thread is useful. I fucked up at picked a host firm that booked the W instead of Ritz Carlton.

Skadden also seems to be using the Royalton this year. Davis Polk is using The Alex.

STB uses the Millenium UN Plaza.

Kirkland uses the International NYC Barclay at 111 East 48th St.

Cleary put me in the Smyth Tribeca.

Kirkland is also using the Intercontinental and the Waldorf Astoria.

Paul Weiss is by far the best -- Michelangelo Hotel

Anyone know where Ropes and Gibson NY put you up?

I dunno, I like the Alex's modern style better than Michelangelo.

Also does anyone know where either Jones Day, Cadwalader, or Chadbourne is putting people this year?

What is a Skadden callback like in NYC? Someone mentioned dinner the night before or after?

Anyone booked through Orrick, Shearman, or Jones Day yet?? Do you guys know what hotels they use/ where they put you? Thanks!

Fried Frank = Ritz Battery Park.

Anyone know which hotel Debevoise is using? Shearman?
