New York Hotels > 5 Stars New York Hotels > more than 250 rooms

Advantages: Beautiful decoration, lavish
Disadvantages: A few mixups!!

On first appearances this is a wonderful hotel, lavish, expensive and truly worth the money. The incontinetal Barclay hotel is on 111 East 48th Street, New York, NY 10017 which is pretty much slap bang right in the middle of where everything happens. The Empire State building a 5 minute walk away in one direction and grand central park 5 minutes in the opposite direction. When you first arrive you will see the hotel stretch into the sky, it is ...
...from the rain. When you book in you cannot help to notice the lavish roof and centrepiece. After 5 miutes of booking in your bags are taken upto your room ready for when you meet them!! The rooms are quite nice with small touches to give the room its finishing details. Unfortunatly there was a problem with our room, the room wasn't made for four and we had to be moved! The second room, they had to supply us with another bed so my brother and I could ... Read review

Advantages: Your staying in a historic Art Deco landmark!
Disadvantages: Service could be better....

...I ended up in the Waldorf Astoria!!! I've stayed in NYC for business before, and I knew to expect small rooms and spend a lot of money. Here, I was staying in the most historic hotel in the US, oozing Art Deco chic from every corner. Your first impression of the hotel is it's impressive Park Avenue frontage, seen many times in movies. The entrance and reception area is stunning . The clock in the reception hall, a stunning timepiece, shows you that ...
...massive king size bed, with the requested cot bed from my daughter. There was a walk in closet, that was huge! The bathroom looked very art deco, and I was a little worried the plumbing might not be up to standard, but there wasn't a problem. I've stayed at the Hyatt Regency 5 star in NYC in the past, and it was a box in style and size compared to the Waldorf.

Advantages: Lovely Hotel, friendly staff, very comfortable rooms, great position near the best shops and right across from St Patricks Church
Disadvantages: Rooms a little small, and food was EXPENSIVE!!

The Hotel has an impressive lobby, smallish but beatifully tasteful. As we walked in to the lobby for the first time, the doorman asked our name and immediately seemed to know of our expected arrival. From then on, everyone know our name. This may seem a little overpowering ...
...had everything we could want, although the view was limited and the space was small, but this could have been because we had 2 adults and 2 children in the room. Food was expensive but luckily, there was a brilliant deli right next door where we had breakfst every day and often got a coffee or snack later in the day. The Palace was a great hotel and well worth a visit. ... Read review
