Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a meticulous stay with rooms overlooking the inner yard resembling airport nights. The service is exceptionally courteous, exceeding expectations. The location is perfect, especially for Upper East city lovers, albeit with some customer service issues. The dining is pricey but surrounded by great shopping options. The facilities are top-notch and worth the cost.
Staying at this elegant Upper East Side hotel on a beautiful residential street was a great experience overall. The rooms were exceptionally well-appointed, comfortable, and quiet, offering good value for the price paid. The service was amazing, from the front desk to room service, and the staff were warm and friendly. The location couldn't be better, especially for those who enjoy the Upper East Side, with easy access to excellent restaurants and attractions. The dining experience, particularly at Arabelle, was excellent, although slightly pricey. The facilities provided a luxurious experience, although there were some limitations to be aware of.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with comfortable rooms and friendly staff. However, the dining experience was a bit slow, and the rooms felt slightly dated. The location was fantastic, near Central Park and away from the hustle and bustle. The facilities were well-maintained.
I was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful terrace and view from Park Ave to Central Park. The room was a bit small and narrow but just fine. The long south facing patio, partly open to the sky and partly glassed in, added a unique touch to the experience, exceeding my expectations.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were fantastic, but the inner yard view with ventilation systems made it feel like being at an airport. The service was kind and helpful overall, although the Concierge was a little offhand at times. The location was super convenient, especially for shopping in Madison and Fifth Avenue, but a bit far from popular spots like Times Square. The dining was expensive but excellent, especially the grilled steaks.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms required minor maintenance in the bathroom area due to ceiling leakage, but overall, it provided comfortable accommodations and a quiet and cozy atmosphere. However, some rooms had broken mirrors and a smelly odor, which was a letdown.
My stay at the hotel was quite a mixed experience. The rooms were way too small for three people, but the terrace offered a fabulous view from Park Ave to Central Park, even though the 'view' to the inner yard with all the ventilation systems was disappointing. The service was courteous and attentive, making the hotel function with great professional skills and a big heart. The location was convenient, with close proximity to excellent restaurants and attractions, but it was a letdown that the dining options were very expensive. The facilities were good overall, but the room size and dining costs left more to be desired.
The hotel had tired-looking rooms with a lack of modern amenities but was spacious by NYC standards. The service was outstanding and friendly, with helpful staff. Its location was convenient, close to excellent attractions. The dining experience was pricey but very good. Overall, a place with ups and downs.
The hotel's location is excellent for exploring uptown museums or downtown attractions, situated in a quiet neighborhood near Central Park and 5th Avenue.

Staying at the hotel felt like being in a relaxing European chateau. The rooms were clean, well-appointed with tasteful decor, but lacked a fan in the bathroom and a coffee machine. The service was exceptional, going above-and-beyond with a mix of professionalism and personal attention. The location was perfect for reaching top attractions and exclusive shops, with a courtesy car for added convenience. Dining was expensive but of high quality, especially with exceptional service.
Staying in the heart of the Eastside with a movie shoot happening was quite exciting. The room welcomed me with a lovely chocolate and was ready even earlier than expected. It's super comfy, especially with the sunroom and a beautiful outdoor deck; however, the hotel could improve on the noise insulation.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, although spacious and very comfortable, seemed a bit tired and more on the shabby chic side. On the upside, they had everything I needed during my stay. The service was top-notch, with the staff going above and beyond to make my visit enjoyable. However, there were certain instances where some behavior made me question their customer approach. The location was perfect, providing easy access to exclusive shops and being just a short walk from Central Park. On the downside, the dining options were exceptional but came at a high price. Overall, it's a comfortable stay with a few notable drawbacks.
Feeling like royalty in a spacious, clean, and comfortable room with a missing coffee facility but a sweet welcome chocolate. The hotel offers everything one could hope for in a room, making you truly feel like a king and queen.
My stay at the hotel was indeed comfortable and spacious for NYC standards, with large, traditional style rooms that were very nice and roomy. However, the lack of coffee facilities was a downside. The service was exceptional, accommodating, and genuinely invested in providing the greatest hospitality possible, making my experience truly outstanding. While the location was a bit out of date in terms of technology with no USB ports and difficult-to-access power sockets, being just steps away from Central Park, Lincoln Center, and prestigious shopping avenues balanced it out. The dining experience was delightful but on the expensive side, comparable to other 5-star options in NYC. The facilities were top-notch, offering a great experience overall.
