Lotte New York Palace

Midtown, New York

Star rating

The hotel

Railroad magnate Henry Villard's 19th-century mansions were combined with a sleek tower to create one of the city's best hotels. It's a place where the staff greet you as if they have known you all their lives, and nothing is too much trouble. The location is one of the best in Manhattan, right in the middle of Midtown, but hidden away in a gated courtyard. There's dining options suited to all at the Lotte New York Palace, from luxury brunch to baked goods, whatever you opt for you'll be in for a treat. Enjoy handmade cocktails in one of Manhattan's most popular bars, Trouble's Trust, or relax in 19th century-style surroundings in Rarities - either make for the perfect post-day-in-the-city tipples.

Fantastic experience! From the moment we arrived all of the staff - from George the Doorman to Lillian and Rebeca at the front desk and Towers desk — made us feel welcome and right at home. Lilian and Rebecca took excellent care of us during our entire stay. From those whose names we did not get, to the gentlemen who helped us with bags, to our wonderful housekeeper, to room service staff, all-in-all the level of service was unparalleled to anything we’ve experienced anywhere in any hotel. And of course location, location, location. Can’t forget the grandeur of what is the New York Palace. A definite keeper and we will return time and again in the future. Read less

Surprisingly family friendly and perfectly located for a weekend in the city, whether you’re a local on staycation or visiting from out of town. You can spend a lot on food and extras if you want to indulge at the hotel, but there are endless options nearby if you don’t.

We walked everywhere: Broadway, Rockefeller Center, Central Park, restaurants….. the only time we did not walk was when we took the subway to Ground Zero. No doubt we will stay here… Read more
