Fancy staying somewhere that has been the home to a number of several Hollywood celebrities, most notably Marilyn Monrow? Look no further. A hote that has heaps of history, jazz-inspired decoration, and a central location to suit all New York visitors - the Lexington dates back to 1929, and the marble lobby may have been modernized, but it's all got it's original structure. Here you're just a stones throw from the glitzy shops of 5th Avenue, and even closer to the iconic Grand Central Station. From Standard Rooms to more spacious suites, you'll be comfortable whichever you opt for. and with Starbucks coffee available in the lobby, and a classic cocktail list at the Stayton, you'll not go thirsty whilst you're here either.

Our trip to NYC was bought as an engagement present and we stayed in The Lexington - when we arrived we checked in and I’ve never been greeted to worse.

Our trip to NYC was bought as an engagement present and we stayed in The Lexington - when we arrived we checked in and I’ve never been greeted to worse. One of the hotel receptionist was so very rude - I went to the manager and it just got worse. I needed help to check in and the manager was a female who was just so ignorant and rude. I waited for her help for over an hour and then I was greeted by Micheal who was so very kind and helped us out so amazingly. He then helped us and we also met a lovely girl behind the desk who was also lovely. We have to say though our trip has been annoyed by the first 2 people we dealt with in this hotel so just be prepared for people who will be rude and very dismissive of you.

Solid Hotel Option in NYC; Would Certainly Return
Jul 28, 2025MicahB502Moorestown, New Jersey
Our experience was much better than many of the reviews we had read. Room was ready a few hours before 4 pm checkout--always a win in NYC. Found all the staff to be friendly and accommodating. Room was fine (water pressure in the shower was superb!). Grabbing unlimited bottled water in the gift shop during a scorching weather weekend was huge.…

Our experience was much better than many of the reviews we had read. Room was ready a few hours before 4 pm checkout--always a win in NYC. Found all the staff to be friendly and accommodating. Room was fine (water pressure in the shower was superb!). Grabbing unlimited bottled water in the gift shop during a scorching weather weekend was huge. Only downside was no full-service restaurant, with the kitchen closing at 10:15 on weekends for the bar dining options. Did recognize my Platinum status with points and breakfast. And a very convenient location, getting over toward Grand Central or walking a few more blocks toward Times Square. Took the subways to the hotel from Penn Station and throughout the city. Would stay here again.

Great location, clean rooms.
Jul 26, 2025chriladPort Saint Lucie, Florida
I don't understand the hate. Check in was simple. Room was immaculately clean and location is perfect. Granted, the $35 daily "destination fee" is excessive, but that's any hotel in an urban area. The breakfast buffet is elevated from the typical hotel breakfast and the staff is very welcoming. Shower was well stocked and got water was HOT! My…

My only complaint would be the closing time of the bar.11pm is a little early for NYC.

The hotel breakfast and it was a buffet style and had a good selection, I like to stay at this hotel as it's not in a crazy busy area and you can relax and have some personal space In the city.

Went with Expedia discount as an elite member. Booking includes $35 daily bar/meal credit, free bottled water, and city bike passes. Staff (we were checked in by Jenny) was had excellent, genuine hospitality. Be prepared for a $35/night resort fee. Great hotel location, atmosphere, history, and views of Manhattan. Gym is shared with other hotels; there is enough space, but be prepared to work out in close quarters with others. Will highly consider returning.
