Older hotel in a good location right by Lincoln Center and a subway stop (Route 1 train). There are some nice restaurants within a block, as well as a movie theatre across the street. I booked via Priceline for 1 night and was alone, so the tiny room was adequate for me but certainly not for a couple. The room... More

First, a week before we stayed at the Empire I had done a web search to research the cool things about the area around the hotel and the hotel itself. As I was reading I came upon a great deal that was 130.00 less than I paid through the hotel website. I called the hotel to discuss this and suggested... More

What more could you want with a NYC hotel? This hotel is clean,comfortable and charming! The location is great-right opposite the Lincoln centre and subway with a starbucks on the corner (well there is a starbucks on every corner). Room was cleaned every day and didn't have a problem with the noise at all. The bathroom was adequate and spotless... More

The hotel is beautiful. It is directly located across the street from Lincoln Center. We got to see all the goings on for Fashion Week. Thank goodness for a great location. There is so much to do on the west side of the city. The room was less than desirable. It was very small with a terrible view. The heating... More

As most reviews mention, the Empire is directly across the street from Lincoln Center; it is also close to the subway stop at 66th, is surrounded by good restaurants, and has pleasant staff. But if if weren't for these very positive attributes, my rating would be even lower than it is: our tiny, sweltering, unbelievably noisy "deluxe" room made good... More

We got a great deal at Empire Hotel through hotwire.com and it didn't disappoint. After a last minute idea to go to NYC to see a few shows, we ended up at this hotel modern hotel right across from Lincoln Center and around the corner from Columbus Circle. It is also a block from Central Park. Plus, we were able... More

My husband and I just returned from a stay at the Emprie Hotel in NYC. We were going to three operas at Lincoln Center and the location cannot be beat. There are plenty of excellent restaurants in the area so we were within walking distance most of the time. Our room was very large. We were not expecting that after... More

The rooftop bar has REALLY loud music, that I was told lasts until 4am. There is simply no way you will sleep the night if you're on one of the upper floors. Amazingly, I even asked for a quiet room, and they placed me on the top floor!! Don't fall for the lower end prices unless you don't want to... More

After we received our "final" bill and left the Empire, they assessed another $60 charge on our credit card. Called accounting and sent email to ask for justification; no response. Have asked our credit card company to withhold payment. More
