I'm staying right now with my mom, who at 88 broke her hip a few months ago. We're here to see my daughter graduate from NYU, right across the street at Lincoln Center, so the location is perfect. The room is a different story. While it seems to have taken the American with Disabilities Act requirements and applied them, it... More

The rooms are kinda small but I had a great stay anyway! I especially enjoyed the lobby bar which had a dj playing. The staff was very attentive and one of the managers, Taylor, came over a number of times to make sure I was having a good time. I will definitely come back!

Being strategically located just off Central Park and within walking distance of 5th Ave, is only a geographical reason to give this hotel a try. The rooms were clean, modern and functional. The service was fantastic from the maids to the concierge, to the front desk; honorable mention to their Front Office Director Don Chatham, who is refreshingly engaged with... More

I recently stayed at the Empire Hotel. I have staying here for years when I need a place to crash in New York. It's location is ideal with subways, restaurants, Central Park, and Lincoln Center only steps away. The staff is very helpful and pleasant. The rooms are nicely decorated. While not cheap, it is well worth the price.

We just got married in NYC last weekend. For our friends and family it was a destination wedding. The hotel was a perfect fit. The location is excellent for the Upper West Side. The staff was incredibly kind and accommodating to all our guests. The rooms were very nice. Had some issues with the shower but the hotel is working... More

We stayed in this hôtel in Manhattan between May 10 and May 14, 2013. We were extremely pleased by the service as well as the room itself. The room was much larger than rooms usually are in Manhattan. It is perfectly situated , just beside Lincoln Center, Broadway and the Upper West Side. The kingsize bed, comforter and sheets were...

When we first walked in I thought we were in an old creepy museum. It's very dark and dreary. The rooms, on the other hand, we nice. The beds were comfortable, and the room was clean. The shower didn't have doors, and they were skimpy with their towels. No bath mat either. The water ran all over the floor. The... More

This hotel is perfectly located near Columbus Circle, away from all the Times Square nuttiness but close to everything. I'm a runner and love to be so close to Central Park. Subway was close by so getting around NYC is super easy from this hotel. Rooms are small, but that is normal in NYC. This was for a business trip... More

The Empire Hotel has a fabulous lobby that has plenty of style. The atmosphere seems ideal for someone seeking privacy as the lighting is low and intimate. I was there however on business. The lounge on the top floor was an added plus and it actually was where we had our first business get together. The open space offered great... More
