Sophisticated Upper West Side hotel near Central Park, Lincoln Center
The rich brown, grey and gold decor accented with animal-print pillows sets a tone of sophistication. Touches such as Frette linens and a cool rooftop bar make this hotel ideal for guests who appreciate luxury without stuffiness.

I was stunned
This place completely reversed my previous experience with NYC hotels. I'm used to paying a pretty penny for a hotel with decent, but not amazing, amenities and a room about the size of the bed. I would've been perfectly happy at The Empire Hotel's price alone which was the most affordable when I searched. But I was pleasantly surprised that the room was a decent size - don't get me wrong, it wasn't an apartment, but there was ample space. And the amenities were pretty nice. There's a club on roof and all the common areas (hallway, mezzanine, lobby) are very nice. I would certainly stay here again if the price remains competitive.

Great location for Lincoln Center
Everything was fine-- staff were nice, usual small room though I have had smaller in NY, not a great view, and bathroom was not as clean as some other hotels but all in all a good solid experience. Less street noise than some other stays elsewhere, too. Very convenient to Lincoln Center and Columbus Circle.

Great Location
Wonderful location away from the Times Square crowds. Subways are very handy. Lincoln Center next door. Lounge area very pleasant. Pool on roof has plenty of room for everyone. Room was very clean and spacious. B'way shows within walking distance and many restaurants also available to you. We'll be back.

Wonderfully Located Hotel
The staff was welcoming and accommodating. The room, though small, was pleasant. The bottom sheet on the bed was not clean and needed to be changed. The bar for an after-dinner drink is terrific. This hotel is wonderfully located, with cabs almost always available. Overall, a good place, though expensive.

Thanksgiving Weekend!
The stay was very nice - and the staff is great. They were having problems with the elevators, which could not support the volume of people, and we had to take a back elevator. The rooms, while comfortable, were VERY small - not much room for more than two bags. Other than that - the location was amazing and the overall experience was great.

Great Location
Great location right next to Lincoln center. Walking distance to most major sights. A little loud but that's to be expected for NYC. The bed was comfortable and the room size was also decent for the city. No Ice machine and also no complimentary coffee/tea (at least that we saw)
