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.

The hotel was a little tired and I paid too much by booking early - which was disappointing. But… location, location, location. It is 1 min from Time Square which meant access to Broadway theatre was so simple. I never had to walk further than 5 mins and i went to 5 shows! I walked around at night and never felt unsafe.

It is 1 min from Time Square which meant access to Broadway theatre was so simple. I never had to walk further than 5 mins and i went to 5 shows! I walked around at night and never felt unsafe. It was perfect for a woman travelling alone and going to shows, but too expensive for what it was. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Great hotel, great location, great staff!

Great hotel with great staff. We couldn’t fault our stay. Every member of staff was faultless. The roof top bar was great and breakfast was good to have. It was basic but nice enough to not have to go out and find breakfast. Our room was really spacious, which shocked me looking at reviews. It was a King Deluxe. The street was loud but it’s…

Great hotel with great staff. We couldn’t fault our stay. Every member of staff was faultless. The roof top bar was great and breakfast was good to have. It was basic but nice enough to not have to go out and find breakfast. Our room was really spacious, which shocked me looking at reviews. It was a King Deluxe. The street was loud but it’s Manhattan.
We surprised my in laws by turning up on their trip and the hotel were brilliant in helping us know when they had arrived. We will definitely stay again.
Only one slight grumble was the aircon was slightly loud, and we needed it in that heatwave, but that wouldn’t affect my staying here.
The location is great, especially if someone’s first time.
Thanks to all the staff 😀

Great Place to Stay!

Wonderful staff, extremely helpful and friendly. (A shout out to Emily in the Roof Top Bar/Restaurant; the Doormen and persons at the welcome desk.) The location couldn’t be beat, located near Time Square and in the Theatre District. Great restaurants near by. We had a wonderful four night stay!
Great hotel in great location!

Just returned from a 4 night stay at the hotel and couldn't fault it! Friendly and helpful staff, found room as described, clean and comfortable. Used the rooftop terrace for breakfast and evening meal, lots of choice and both meals were good. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others!
Amazing Boutique Hotel Near Times Square

I was able to spend an amazing evening here on my own and I loved it. The staff was so kind despite the chaotic energy of New York City. The rooms are cozy but luxurious.

I was able to spend an amazing evening here on my own and I loved it. The staff was so kind despite the chaotic energy of New York City. The rooms are cozy but luxurious. I love the transparent shower as well, it was so intimate and I imagine the perfect room for a romantic getaway. Also, they have great food on-site. Very cute space, and surprisingly quiet inside the room considering the loud sporadic nature of Times Square.
