Sanctuary Hotel

Midtown, New York

Star rating

The hotel

The clue’s in the name — The Sanctuary Hotel is a haven in its own right. If you're on a couples city break, or a girls weekend away, this is a great option (particularly if you're a bit of a foodie!). From a sushi restaurant and rooftop cocktail bar, to richly detailed rooms, you’ll be spoilt for choice with where to spend some down-time. Make the most of the complimentary breakfast each morning, and be fully-fuelled to spend the day exploring the Big Apple. You’ll even have the hotel’s S.T.A.R concierge on hand for ‘Service Tailored to Any Request’, so you can (quite literally) make this your very own sanctuary.

10/10 - Location and value 10/10 - All staff were attentive, accommodating, and friendly 10/10 - Bed comfort, HVAC 7/10 - Room is small and compact, only window to a central fire escape offers minimal natural light. Noise from hallway bleeds into room. Otherwise room is clean and essentially as expected.

Love our stay here. The hotel is conveniently located near Time Square - not even a 5 -minute walk. Serendipity 3 is on the same street. Urban Hawker is also a short walk away.
