A great location opposite the park. we arrived later in the evening and were asked if we would like an upgrade to a park view, of course we said yes, only to arrive at the room to a view we had to crane our necks to see, and which had been set up for another client. we were then given... More

The hotel is in a nice and convenient location. Across the street is Central Park. Shopping on 5th Ave. is a few minutes walk away. The Metro 5th Ave/59 St. station is directly across the street from the hotel. There are two entrances. The front faces Central Park (59th St.) and the back faces 58th St. There are eateries close...

the Helmsley is conveniently located in NYC, across the street from Central Park and around the corner from 5th Ave. The room is spacious and the staff for the most part were very accomodating- Antonio was a pleasure- helpful, pleasant, accommodating and has a dish of chocolates ready for your arrival- need I say more? My only issue was the... More

Just arrived back from mine and two friends very first time in NYC. We choose the Helmsley because of its central location and we were not disappointed on arrival. Its a lovely hotel with large rooms, and quaint decorations. We paid a little extra for a park view room and it was worth every penny. Being on the 18th floor... More

The hotel is right across the street from Central Park and hosts incredible views. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the room was spacious. I was upgraded to a park view room which was amazing and they held onto my key so I could go for a run in the morning in the park. I'd certainly stay here... More

Overall it is a great hotel. Interior is a bit old fashioned, my room had "very purple" walls, but the view of central park was amazing. Two problems, a long line for breakfast (so long that on 2 of the 7 nights we stayed we had to eat breakfast somewhere else) and a ridiculous 10 dollar charge to recieve mail... More

We stayed at the Helmsley Park Lane for 2 nights. This was our first stay at this hotel and read all the reviews prior. Check-in was very fast with the hotel staff extremely pleasant and helpful. We were upgraded to the executive floor 43 without asking which was a nice surprise. The room was a bit outdated but the view... More

I stayed here for two nights and had a great stay. This hotel is by no means perfect, but given the location its flaws are pretty easy to overlook. Pros: * Amazing views - I had great views of Central Park from my room * Subway access - you can enter the N or R line straight outside the door... More

I travel to NYC several times a year for business and the Helmsley Park Lane is my hotel of choice even though we have a generous per diem and I could stay at just about any hotel in mid-town (I have also stayed at The London and Michelangelo). Yes, the decor is a bit dated but if you get a... More
