Lotte New York Palace

Midtown, New York

Virgin 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.

We had the chance to come during fall and the deco was stunning. A special thank you to Kat, Lotte New York Palace's best concierge !!!! She really was a sweatheart and made the discovery of NYC a hundred times better !!! The fact that she's a New Yorker and knew what to absolutely do was easier for us, she was so helpful, helping us with booking, restaurant reservation,... She gave us so many advices to make our visits easier and hidden gems for us to explore, we are really thankful to her ! Her bubbly personality and her smile were really heartwarming ! She made us the surprise on the last morning of our stay to offer us the breakfast in bed, it will stay a lifetime memory ! Read less

Hotel is "luxe", great service, outstanding location, I'd stay here again. Staff is very helpful and friendly. And the mid-town location is hard to beat. Around the corner from the E Train, which gets you everywhere: Penn Station, the Village, etc.
