“Stay here”
Fantastic location...beautiful, first-rate hotel. Recommended without qualifications.
“Nice Hotel”
I have stayed here two times and highly recommend the hotel. Great ammenities and much better than alternatives in the same price range.
“Fantastic - I will be going back!”
When I made this booking I had been to New York once before 10 years ago and was not sure what to expect as there can be some hotels that are subpar however I was pleasantly surprised and relieved that the Empire was exactly what I was looking for and very reasonably priced. Location was fantastic, service was excellent and I will be going back within the year! - and to top it off there is a rooftop lounge with priority for hotel guests.
“A great NYC weekend”
Great location, easy access to taxi and subway, right by Central Park, extremely comfortable beds and the best martinis right in the lobby bar!
“Very convenient hotel”
The hotel could not be better located, just across the street from Lincoln Center and in easy walking distance of several very good restaurants. It has undergone recent renovation. Everything is up-to-date, tasteful, and comfortable. My only complaint is that the lobby was overwhelmed with very loud disco-type alleged music, but this did not carry up to my room on the 8th floor.
“I love it!”
Staff is consistently helpful and concerned about your comfort. Location is prime for the things I like to do-concerts, plays, films, book shopping, walking in Central Park.A quick taxi ride or bracing walk to museums.I'll stay every every chance I get.
“Exceptional service and quality.”
Great Location and excellent hotel standard for its category. In addition, its customer service (front desk) was exceptional like in a 5-star establishment. My compliments!
“NYC phenomenon”
Empire Hotel is the most fantastic, incredibly great service, genius location hotel in NYC. And the food is awesome as well! Ceasar Salad, incredible!
“Empire hotel - highly recommend!”
This is a fab hotel with beautiful lobby and roof top pool and bar. Walk up Columbus avenue to get gorgeous cupcakes at the magnolia bakery and a one minute walk from central park. Complimentary L'occitane minis in the bathroom smell amazing. Only complaint is that the air conditioning units are very noisy even if you turn yours off. Apart from that would definitely stay there again.
“Very Impressed”
Large, clean rooms. Friendly staff. Great location - just a few blocks from Central Park. Also a great pizza place nearby. Overall, I was very impressed - it was better than the hotel I stayed at previously that was twice the price.
