My best friend and I decided to spend the weekend in the city for my birthday. We have been familiar with Empire Hotel because of its rooftop. The hotel in itself is beautiful, the lobby and the rooms are impressively designed. The hotel was super clean, the room and bathroom had a very sassy flair about it and was very... More

This trip was booked for us by my partner's parents to celebrate his 30th birthday. The hotel was everything we had hoped it would be and more. We were upgraded on arrival to a junior suite as the travel agent (partner's sister) had informed the hotel that it was to celebrate a birthday, and had champagne on ice waiting in... More

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
