Property Amenities
Celebrity hotelier André Balazs designed this Manhattan hotel with just the essentials for globe-trotting fashion models and young professionals. Room-Mate Grace has no doorstaff, porter/bellhop, conference room, or restaurant. The front desk resembles a sidewalk newsstand and sells snack foods, liquor and beverages, and periodicals. But it does provide a Continental breakfast (surcharge), a pool social center, and a poolside bar.
A complimentary, 24-hour mezzanine social area at Room-Mate Grace centers around an indoor pool with underwater music and a service window for drinks from the hotel bar. Complimentary wireless Internet access is available.
Slate amphitheater seating leads from the pool to a red-tiled, unisex steam room and an expansive unisex sauna. Between them, a slate-lined communal shower room with glass side walls and bench contains five rain showerheads.
A DJ performs Friday and Saturday nights in the pool's amphitheater. When the DJ is not present, contemporary background music plays throughout the mezzanine level. Room-Mate Grace mezzanine also includes a small, 24-hour complimentary fitness center overlooking West 45th Street through a pink window.
Room Mate Grace is a smoke-free property. (Fines apply for violations.)

“Super friendly staff, simple and modern, clean and”
This little hotel was beyond and above for such a hectic location, during Christmas in New York!! Super friendly staff, simple and modern, clean and comfortable hotel.
“Highly recommend!”
Trendy hotel that I will definitely stay at again. The hotel decor was very sleek and modern. We had an amazing corner room. Bed is up on a platform with the tv mounted directly by our bed. I was very impressed. Less than a block away from Time Square with an amazing price. Only pitfall was no valet parking. We had to jump out to only find out that the parking garage that we had to go to was two blocks away. Just wish we knew this in advance and would have saved us a consideration amount of time trying to circle back around in Times Square traffic. However they did set up a deal with Myers parking and we only paid $25 for overnight parking!
“NY's Best Hotel”
The best pool party in my life!!!
“Great Hotel near Times Square”
Everything was great, from the room to the service. The location is perfect (a block from times square). Don't hesitate this is an excellent hotel. On my next vacation i will stay in another Room mate.
“Excellent Stay”
Great location, service, and hotel. Bed was excellent and bathrooms were much larger than most NYC hotels.
“Chic Hotel Near Times Square”
If you want to stay at a chic hotel in the center of New York, near Times Square, this is the hotel for you. The hotel is half a block from Times Square. My experience at the hotel was excellent. The hotel is modern, clean, and the service was friendly and attentive. The hotel also provided an excellent complimentary continental breakfast, which is uncommon for most New York hotels. I highly recommend this hotel; however, if you are a more conservative person, I don't think you msy like the hotel.
“just steps from Times Square...”
Right when we entered, staff was friendly/helpful (even spoke to us in French).. room was awesome! funky decor, super clean... walk out the door and bam! a couple steps to the left a couple of Irish pubs (great pubs with the best staff,...) and a couple steps to the right..Times Sqaure... breakfast was good...pool/sauna were great... i have ZERO complaints about this place, will stay again when back in NYC.
“Great Place”
The hotel staff was very friendly and the facilities were perfect!
“very good !!!”
very good !!!
“Euro botique in Times Square”
Finding a hotel in NY always comes with a bit of sticker shock, especially if you want to be in the Times Square area...so we do our digging and this time found Room Mate Grace. The location was perfect for our three nights of theatre, also convenient to several subway lines and walking distance to many sights including Central Park and Rockefeller Center. The first thing we noticed when walking in the door was the very modern feel, followed by the 4 or 5 different languages being spoken in the lobby. This gem of a hotel seems to have much more of a following with a foreign born crowd. Call it undiscovered in the US. The rooms were small, but very comfortable and cozy...you didn't feel cramped at all. All of the basic amenities were available in the room...and if you needed anything else in the lobby. We particularly liked the fresh apples available by the entrance every day. Of note, this might not be the place I would take my parents (in their 70s). The rooms would be tight for them and the modern feel would be a bit off for their tastes. Also of note on the Thursday we were there the small pool area near the elevators on the lobby level had a nightclub type pool party that was really pumping. Every night we had to show our door key to get waved in the hotel past the "club" line going into the bar/pool area. We took a late night dip (pool open 24hrs) and enjoyed the DJ mixing and drinks ordered from the pool. Would certainly stay again.
