A delightful, comfortable stay in the heart of Manhattan. The Empire Hotel’s location is unbeatable—nestled near Columbus Circle and the Upper West Side, it offers easy access to Central Park, Lincoln Center, and Broadway. The lobby is a visual treat, with striking artwork on the second floor and plenty of lounge chairs for relaxing or people-watching. Our standard room was compact but manageable for two travelers. While the bathroom door handle was a bit finicky (closing it required a noisy bang), and the carpets showed some wear with a faint mustiness in the hallways, these were minor quirks in an otherwise pleasant experience. What truly elevated our stay was the staff—bellhops, housekeeping, and front desk were all exceptionally friendly and accommodating. Having convenient access to the Empire Rooftop Hotel and Bar (with a reservation) was a bonus, offering a stylish spot to unwind above the city. Overall, a solid choice for anyone seeking a central, character-rich hotel with great service and a touch of old New York flair.

I enjoyed having plenty of staff on hand in the lobby keeping the hotel safe and clean. I also enjoyed having some access to the roof top to enjoy the views of the city. Loved having the outdoor space across from the hotel where you could sit in a park setting and enjoy a cup of coffee on clean benches and tables.

AC unit did not provide cool air. I mentioned this multiple times starting at 8:30am, giving them ample opportunity to come by and fix it. I honestly don’t think they ever mentioned it to the repairman. They offered a fan at 11:00pm. What can you do? You are stuck there and you have prepaid (no refunds!)- they don’t really have to do anything to make your stay comfortable. CONS list: AC did not cool. It was well over 75 degrees in the room. The beds don’t have sheets, only a comforter, so, no way to layer at night. Lamp was missing the switch to turn on and off, so it just had to be plugged and unplugged. Shades were broken so that they could not be raised. Barely space for 1 person to put their clothes. WiFi never worked in our room, only the lobby. Beds were extremely hard, and one of them squeaked loudly anytime there was the slightest movement. PROS list: convenient location for what we needed. Decent restaurants next door. Two double beds. Family of 4. Room was tiny - even for NYC. Bathroom served basic needs, but again - very tiny. The whole room and bathroom needs a major update.

Great location for arts lovers. I stayed overnight after an evening performance at Lincoln Center, and the convenience was worth the price. The room was adequate, with good water pressure, plenty of hot water, and a comfortable-enough bed. Earplugs and white noise drowned out the hallway noise enough to get a good night's sleep, followed by an excellent breakfast at Masseria Caffe nearby. Spotted a cockroach, but it fled, and hey, this is Manhattan.

Stay somewhere else!

Don’t stay here! The lobby is beautiful and the rooftop bar is fine, but the rooms are in terrible shape. I stayed in two different rooms (because the WiFi was broken on the floor where I first stayed.) A front desk agent confided that ALL rooms were in equal need of repair. Picture torn carpets, peeling wallpaper and stained countertops. (But the location was convenient…)

Nope, not again

The pool was ridiculously small and filled w/kids… there was no way to enjoy it. I have kids and totally get it/ love seeing them have fun! so nothing against kids. There is no way the hotel should consider this “pool” as an amenity for all guests to use. The outside rooftop area is as lovely- although it would’ve been nice if they had service (food/drink). The lobby area is lovely, but the guest room floors were ridiculously dark and decor was bizarre and gaudy. The room was small, rough around all the edges, dated and without charm. The best part of the stay was the friendliness of the staff! They were very kind and considerate with every interaction I had.
