Lotte New York Palace

Midtown, New York

Star rating

The hotel

Railroad magnate Henry Villard's 19th-century mansions were combined with a sleek tower to create one of the city's best hotels. It's a place where the staff greet you as if they have known you all their lives, and nothing is too much trouble. The location is one of the best in Manhattan, right in the middle of Midtown, but hidden away in a gated courtyard. There's dining options suited to all at the Lotte New York Palace, from luxury brunch to baked goods, whatever you opt for you'll be in for a treat. Enjoy handmade cocktails in one of Manhattan's most popular bars, Trouble's Trust, or relax in 19th century-style surroundings in Rarities - either make for the perfect post-day-in-the-city tipples.

My stay at the Lotte New York Palace and it absolutely delivered on every level. From the moment I arrived, the experience felt polished, seamless, and genuinely welcoming. A special thank you to Tamara in Reservations—professional, responsive, and incredibly thoughtful in making sure everything was perfectly arranged ahead of arrival. And Kal, Concierge, truly elevated the stay. His attention to detail, warm hospitality, and ability to anticipate needs made navigating the city effortless. The hotel itself strikes that rare balance of classic New York elegance with modern comfort. Impeccable service, a beautiful setting, and a team that clearly takes pride in what they do. Highly recommend—and I’ll absolutely be back. Read less

One of the most disappointing stays I've ever had in New York. Check-in process took 45 minutes (it was like waiting in a TSA line), unfriendly front desk staff, non-customer centric behavior, non-communicative concierge that was not reachable during our stay, 1990's outdated hotel rooms, dingy furniture and accommodations, rude and entitled restaurant staff operating on "auto-add" gratuity (go figure). The list goes on! There are MANY hotels and areas to stay in New York, let alone Midtown. Do yourself and your family a favor and pick anywhere else to stay. Read less

A very special and memorable stay in a fabulous location with kind and welcoming staff. My room was comfortable with an old world glamour. I very much enjoyed breakfast each morning in the Villard Room. This was my third stay and I would absolutely return.
