“Nearly perfect!”

We had a small wedding block at the Shelburne. All staff was friendly, accommodating and professional. Location is great, near GCT, subway, and many midtown sites. Rooftop restaurant and lounge is a lovely spot with views of Empire State Bldg, Chrysler Bldg and others. I only stop short of 5 stars because the hotel could use some polish and updated fixtures. It suffers from thin walls typical of the era in which it was outfitted. It is a busy hotel with fairly small lobby. If you’re sensitive to street noise make sure to request and interior room or one well away from Lexington Ave (double paned windows would be nice). Good value for the location.

I stayed at the Shelburne Sonesta in NYC for 3 nights and overall, it was a positive experience especially considering the reasonable price compared to other 4-star hotels in Manhattan. Pros: The location is fantastic ,just a short walk to Grand Central and with incredible views of both the Empire State and Chrysler Buildings from the street. The room was quiet, the bed was very comfortable, and a good nights sleep. The air conditioning worked well (a must in the NYC summer), and the hotel offers a complimentary soft drink per guest per day, which was a nice touch. Cons: The rooftop bar is lovely but very overpriced $11 for a pint of draught beer.Also had an issue with the TV remote; I reported it twice, and while I was told it would be replaced, it never actually worked during the stay. The bathroom was small and a bit outdated, and you should expect to wait for the lifts they’re quite slow, especially during peak times. All in all, I’d recommend the Shelburne Sonesta for anyone looking for a comfortable, well-located base in NYC without paying top-tier Manhattan prices.

What a shame I’ve had to leave a low rate. I wouldn’t suggest going here purely based on the hotel ignoring my emails to chase the deposit that should have been credited for two rooms!
