Make your way back to your exclusive hotel. My choice would be The London NYC, a pied-à-terre conveniently located in Midtown, close to the park and away from the Times Square frenzy.

行馆
法文 pied à terre 原意“脚踏到地上”，意思是落脚之处，或称下榻之处，
但 pied-à-terre 又有“第二住所”的意思，所以不妨称之为“行馆”。

这个符合词同时也是意大利文和西班牙文，但在英文里借用后有“第二住所”之意，不常住，所以可称为“行馆”。

按照朗文法德、意德、西德字典解释，Absteigequartier 意思是“落脚/下榻之处”。
但朗文英德字典解释，pied-à-terre -> Zweitwohnung 意思是“第二个住所”，但意思包含“不常住”，所以称之为“行馆”。

异乡的舒适住所
pied à terre means foot on the ground. In English, we would call it a "landing pad." A pied à terre is a small, comfortable apartment maintained by someone who resides in another city.
根据这段解释，我觉得pied-à-terre也许可以翻译成“异乡的舒适住所”，用来指代“London NYC”，以比喻这家旅馆会令你有宾至如归的感觉。
