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.

Outdated and not transparant hotel

Had 2 executive rooms on 3rd floor. Airco system does make a terrible noise. We have to shut it down in the night.
Caution deposit $30 a night a room. But it is not a deposit. They invoice it. The story is you can use it in the bar and access fitnessroom and bikes. But there isnt any follow up on that.
With checkout they wont show you the invoice, “we will send it by mail” never had invoice in the mail. Only a $380 amount at the creditcard. No clue what that is used for. I give them a few more days to respond, before a redraw to amex.
Hotel is old, elevators always full if you go down from the 3rd in morning and afternoons.
Value vs quality is bad. I will take the intercontinal across the street next time.

Poor rooms but location good

The lobby and public areas are all lovely but it gives a false impression ahead of seeing the rooms.

We stayed her 3 nights as part of our final 4 week trip. We have been travelling around California mainly, and have stayed in other 4 star city hotels ( San Fran/ LA).
The lobby and public areas are all lovely but it gives a false impression ahead of seeing the rooms.
Room is small - not necessarily an issue - but is in poor condition- windows are filthy ( internally and externally). It is superficially clean in bathroom but could do with a good stub around taps/ corners. The workmanship is awful - loads of bad mastic / mirror peeling / ceiling loose/ carpet it’s filthy and needs replacing / furniture v poor quality.
Beds comfortable and bedding clean but this hotel needs significant spend on rooms to bring it up to anywhere near 4 star in my view. I’ve stayed in better rooms in premier inn in the uk and that’s saying something!
Location very good so I guess that balanced with the rooms may be reflected in price. We aren’t entirely sure of what we paid as it was a block booking with a travel advisor across several hotels. All I a say it is not up the standard of the other 4 star city hotels we’ve stayed in. Disappointing end to our 4 week break.

In major need of renovation
Aug 24, 2025doktortechnoBoston, Massachusetts
People are very nice and the lobby is very nice. Street entrance also is pretty nice. However, wow is the building old and in poor shape. The two rooms we saw had peeling paint, bubbled plaster, AC fan that rattled all night, stained bathtub, peeling mirror, etc
Thank you Philippe for the amazing service!
