Chumba hiki cha kulala kimoja, kinachopatikana kwa nadra, kiko kwenye ghorofa ya juu na kinaelekea kusini katika jengo la The Sovereign, na kimekarabatiwa kwa umakini mkubwa. Unapoingia kupitia ukumbi wa kuvutia, macho yako huvutwa na madirisha makubwa ya kusini na magharibi yanayofunguka kwa kuinamishwa na kugeuzwa, yakitoa mwonekano wa kupendeza wa mto upande wa kusini.

Kipoza divai, mashine ya kufua na kukausha nguo, pamoja na makabati yaliyotengenezwa maalumu, ni vipengele vya ziada vya kifahari vinavyofanya hapa kuwa makazi bora ya mjini.

The Sovereign lilipojengwa mwaka wa 1974, Paul Goldberger wa gazeti la The New York Times alisema, “The Sovereign iko katika daraja la majengo yenye anasa ya hali ya juu.” Jengo hili lililobuniwa na Emory Roth lina ukumbi wa kuingilia ambao “unaenea chini ya jengo zima, na kuna kumbi nne za nusu binafsi kwa kila ghorofa—mbadala unaokaribishwa (na wa gharama kubwa) dhidi ya korido ndefu yenye milango pande zote mbili. Mpangilio wa aina hii huenda haujawahi kutumika katika jengo lolote la New York tangu miaka ya 1930.”

Hapo zamani na sasa, kwa kuwa kuna vyumba viwili pekee kwa kila ghorofa, wakazi hupokea huduma bora kabisa za kiwango cha kimataifa kutoka kwa wafanyakazi wanaojumuisha walinzi, wahudumu wa mlangoni, wahudumu wa mahitaji ya wakazi, usimamizi wa eneo, huduma ya kuegesha magari na mengineyo.

When The Sovereign was built in 1974, Paul Goldberger of The New York Times noted, "The Sovereign is in the super luxury category." The Emory Roth designed building has a lobby that "extends under the entire building, and there are four semiprivate halls per floor - a welcome (and expensive) alternative to the long, double loaded corridor. Such an arrangement has probably not been used in any New York building since the nineteen-thirties."

Then as now, with only two apartments per floor, the residents are treated to impeccable world class service is provided by the staff that includes sentry, doorman, concierge, on-site management, valet parking, and more.
