The Lexington New York City

Midtown, New York

Star rating

The hotel

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.

We have been living at the Lexington Hotel for many months now due to a fire in our apartment. Stephanie Llanos has gone above and beyond during the breakfast hour to make our stay as enjoyable as it could ever be. There is also an older woman living here for many months from London who has mobility issues. Stephanie has sat with her and chatted when the restaurant has been empty, and she has brought her breakfast. An employee like this is so rare. Thank you, Stephanie! Read less

A classic hotel in the heart of Manhattan. Only a couple blocks walk from Grand Central. Our hotel room was very comfortable. The quality bed provided a great night of sleep. A small bathroom with a very good shower. We were hoping for a refrigerator in the room but at least there was an ice machine nearby.

Mabel Wu exceeded my expectations for customer service. I had an issue with my bill post my stay at the Lex for a week. When I called the hotel, the phone system routed me to a Marriott call center and they couldn’t help. I called the Lex again and was transferred to her voice mail. I left a detailed message and she called me back within minutes… Read more

I left a detailed message and she called me back within minutes and handled my request along with my business partner’s same issue on the spot. I will stay at the Lex in NY every time I travel for work. Thank you Mabel!! Read less
