How do you define a boutique hotel? If words like "creative," "stylish," and "original" come to mind, Royalton, A Morgans Original just might be the perfect fit. The Royalton combines the ultimate boutique-hotel experience with a prime Midtown location and stellar service. The bright lights of Broadway and Times Square beckon less than 2 blocks away. At Rockefeller Center, 3 blocks north, ride the elevator to the Top of the Rock Observation Deck for incredible views of the city and beyond. Bryant Park, 2 blocks south of the Royalton, is a Midtown oasis with 'wichcraft food kiosks, a skating rink in winter, and a French carousel when the weather warms. The New York Public Library adjoins the park. Be sure to step inside: The library's ornate interior is as impressive as the outside.
Speaking of impressive interiors: The Royalton's dramatically designed lobby features a floor-to-ceiling bronze fireplace and a 20-foot screen imported from France. The leather walls are patterned with a subtle African motif. In the sunken conversation areas, soft suede upholstery and hide-covered chairs invite you to linger and mingle in the glow of the fireplace.
Forty Four, the hotel's restaurant and bar, serves up the ultimate in social drinks: punch bowls presented tableside, where you and your friends can ladle libations created by the staff of expert mixologists. If you're feeling more retiring, the hotel also offers room service, available early morning till late night. The fitness center has a convenient 24-hour schedule, and cardio machines come with individual TVs. A 24-hour business center is also on site.
Philippe Starck, a legend of modern design, created the original look for the Royalton's guestrooms. The hotel's 2007 revamp includes updated decor by Charlotte Macaux, a Starck protégée. Snuggle beneath the plump down duvet and watch your favorite HBO show on the flat-panel HDTV. Your room is also equipped with an iPad, complimentary for use during your stay. Wireless Internet access is available for a surcharge. Luxurious bathrooms include plush bathrobes, MALIN+GOETZ bath amenities, and either slate-and-glass showers or circular soaking tubs. If you're staying in a room with a fireplace, you can request evening fire-lighting service, which includes hot chocolate. All rooms are non-smoking. This is a pet-friendly property.
"weekend in NYC"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
Great location just off of 8th and 51stW. Very close to everything we wanted to see and visit. Hotel rooms are small but clean and do the trick. If you're planning on staying in the room often or have a ton of stuff you might want bigger rooms, but otherwise this is as good as you might expect from a hotel in this range. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
"Close to airport"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
We were on our way home and stayed at this hotel because it was close to the airport and it provided a free shuttle. We were pleasantly surprised at the cleanliness and comfort of the room. The staff was very friendly and helpful and even provided us with a morning snack as our flight left very early. The only negative was that the hotel did not have a restaurant and there did not appear to be any restaurants in the area. We had to walk to another hotel fairly close by for supper.

it was a very good one
"Fantastic pick for a shopping trip!"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 4, 2012
This being my first trip to NYC, I wasn't sure where to even begin looking for hotels. My friends and I were looking for a nice hotel, with a good price point, in a central part of town. Wow did we ever pick the right choice with the Hilton on 35th. The check in process was quick and easy, and the service was fantastic. The employee's remembered us by name for the whole weekend, and provided excellent recommendations on restaurants and shopping locations. Speaking of shopping; what a fantastic area! There was shopping in any direction, lots of food, and right next to the subway if you want to take a hop to any other areas. The room itself was nice; nothing outrageous, but very clean and large for a hotel room in NYC. We were three people and there was plenty of room for our luggage and room to move around. We would 100% go back!

see all hotels in New York"Great weekend"
Great weekend at the Royalton. Location was perfect. Staff were great, they treated you like royalty. Would go back again. Room was spacious and clean.
"Royalton NYC - Great little hotel, excellent locat"
The hotel deserves it's 4 stars. It is very nice, modern, clean and perfectly located in midtown Manhattan. The rooms are very comfortable, and the showers are amazing. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The only issues we had were the elevators being extremely slow, but they did leave a note in the room saying they were working on improving that, […] so that shouldn't be an issue in the future. Also, it would have been nice to have a coffee machine in the room. Most hotels have these and provide complimentary coffee to their guests. Other than those two minor things, the hotel was great. I would definitely recommend it and go back myself. Read more

"Clean hotel near Times Square"
Great hotel, great service. The hallways are narrow and dark, but the rooms were large and roomy. The rooms were clean and looked newly renovated. Just two blocks from Times Square. Great place great hotel. Definitely recommend.
"Great getaway location w/friends."
The service at the Royalton was great - the iPad in your room to request turn down service or room service or other services is a HUGE plus. We really enjoyed our stay.
"Perfect theater district gem"
Up until this visit, I didn't even know the Royalton existed. What a pleasant surprise! Small but functional and comfortable room with all of the amenities. And the desk staff! So pleasant and accommodating! Will definitely return.

"Royalton mid town"
Great, stylish hotel, in a very convenient location. Only two problems: very dark - all lights are dimmed, to the point that you can't see what floors to press in the elevator. also, the HVAC is very loud.
"Royalton Hotel"
My room was a little small. The bathrooms were basic (walk in shower, no tub). The location is awesome. The bar/restaurant downstairs looked like a great place to get something to drink/eat. Too bad I only stayed one night. Overall, not a bad place to stay.
"Royalton"
We stayed here for one night and it was very nice. Apparently one of the first in the new "boutique" hotels. Very dark on the inside, cool lobby and bar. We were there on Saturday and no one was really in the lobby but I here it's a popular place to get a drink and hang out during the week. The rooms are very nice, modern, and include an iPad for some […] services. Overall a good stay, but a little pricey and the service was good but not great. Our room wasn't ready when we arrived and no one offered to bring our bags up when it was, but they were pleasant the whole time and brought us complimentary fresh fruit and water. Read more
"Great Location - Hip Hotel"
Very good room with a balcony that overlooked 44th St. (one of only six). Room had unique style that was very user friendly. Very little room for toiletries in the bathroom, but outstanding shower. Lobby is dark and sometimes loud at night with lots of bar action, but hostess at the entry of the lobby to take you to the guest services was very nice […] and a helpful touch. Great location. Will definitely consider returning the next time we are in NYC. Read more

"My most relaxing stay in NY"
I travel to NY frequently for business but this was my first stay at The Royalton. I will be back for sure. I was lucky to get upgraded to a larger room than I've ever had in NY - which was great because I was there for 3 nights. Made my entire trip so much easier and less stressful. The staff was amazing, location is excellent - close to mid-town activity […] and convenience but off the main path so it's very quiet. Love the Malin & Goetz products, yumm. Can't say enough good things!! Read more
"location, location, location"
The last time I was in NYC, I stayed in upper west side. This location was ten times better. And the lady behind the counter was great she upgraded my room to a bigger room. And I loved, loved the shower. I would take two a day. And there were so many kosher restaurants around which made things so much easier for me.

"Great location, good service, but dark, dark, dark"
Love this hotel but beware that the interior is very subterranean. Great for evenings, not so for a sunny spring day. Rooms also dark with grey walls and few lights. That said, everything else was great so if you're a creature of the night you'll love it!
"Royalton W44th St. NYC"
This was my first stay at Royalton NYC and I will absolutely stay there again. Great location for my needs, trendy atmosphere, clean rooms,wifi and the best water pressure in shower ever! Talk about a great way to end a busy day...
"Take a torch, slippers. And eat elsewhere!"
As previous guests have stated the Hotel is underlit especially the bathrooms. The tile floors are extremely cold and no scuffs were provided (unbelievable for this price range and rating). Air conditioning makes a racket all night both that inside the room and the enormous thing outside my window in the so called "room with a view" courtyard. Food […] was dreadful. I had the impression that the Royalton would prefer to be a bar. A true original indeed. There are many other far, far better choices in the area, in fact, in the same street. My stay was paid in advance and was therefore non refundable. Most unfortunate. Read more

"Great location, close to time square"
Room was small but comfortable, bed was perfect. Nice big shower. I enjoyed my stay
"very posh"
It was like walking into a ultra posh club/restuarant and then being able to go to your room when your done. Really special and gorgeous room. Very roomy for the city. Would reccommend to anyone.
"Royalton - good option for midtown Manhattan"
The Royalton is a decent option for accommodation in Midtown. Pretty close to everything you need, with Grand Central and Bryan Park subways within easy walking distance. We stayed for a weekend in Jan 2012 and the hotel condition and room were both fine. The bed was not too comfortable (rock hard, actually) and the room, like most NYC rooms, wasn't […] very big but for us it was fine since we spent most of our time outside. It was noisy outside in the street in the early hours of the morning which affected our sleep a little but for two nights we could deal with it., Overall this hotel is OK. Not my first choice in Midtown, but if nothing else is available and the rate is good, this hotel is a viable option. Read more
"Xmas in NYC"
The hotel was beautiful. The rooms so clean and modern. The location could not have been better. Definitly a spot near everything. Rooom service was quick and delicious.Definitly recommend to others who want to be within walking distance of just about everything Christmas cool in NYC.
"Good location, might be feeling its age a litttle"
I returned to this hotel having been a regular a few years back. Positives all still there - location, comfortable beds, interesting design, good bar. May be showing its age compared with some newer boutique hotels in NYC
"Royalton"
It was the first time I have stayed there and I was not expecting much after having to pull my own luggage up the front steps and navigate a noisy lobby to find registration. However, I ended up very impressed. My room was beautiful and well laid out. Room service dinner came immediately and was delicious. All at a fair price.
"Great space, great location"
Unlike most NYC hotels, the hip Royalton experience continued from the lobby to the actual room. Very functional and spacious with Apple iPad and comfy bed.

"Lovely hotel great location"
I had only one problem with the hotel and that is the picture on hotels.com showed a big red door when I arrived there was no big red door there was a big door but it was black other than that it was one of the best hotels I ever stayed at oh one more thing itbwas a bit pricey so be prepared to spend some money (giggles)
"Royalton in New York City"
The hotel was very good. Nice atmosphere and great location. Unfortunately, the rooms were a bit small and the air condition units were particularly noisy. The lifts were somewhat unreliable. Finally the bar at the hotel is a bit pricey (particularly the beer).
"it was perfect!!"
it was our honymoon and the hotel was perfect for us!! a big room with large bed and a big bath! extremly comfterble...
"Amazing Hotel In an amazing location"
Only one word can describe this hotel immaculate. The hotel was spotless,well-designed and in a great location. The room was extremely well designed and comfortable not to mention clean. The bed was so soft I didn't want to go home the next day. Prob the nicest room I have stayed in period... I mean come one it came with an iPad. The bar at the bottom […] of the hotel was a great place to start an end the night great drinks. I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in NY. Ps that I stayed in a suit .... That I got upgraded to for free.... 1st anniversay. Read more
"Royalton"
I've stayed at this hotel before and it seems like it is in need of a makeover. It's still a great hotel with a great lobby/bar. However, carpets are fading and it doesn't look as clean and edgy as it used to. Overall though everyone was very friendly at the hotel and it's in a prime location for getting around to some of the major NYC attractions.
"One night stay in NYC"
Royalton is in a great location with a helpful staff and a warm to hot environment. The room was great very modern seeming brand new. You can walk uptown and around from there with ease.

"Excellent Stay at Royalton"
No major complaints, and room and location were great!
"Swanky and Sophisticated"
The Royalton greets you with unassuming front door that automatically opens into a cosmopolitan lobby and bar lounge. The staff was helpful and the rooms are nicely appointed. It's quite expensive, but the location in midtown really cannot be beat. Our room, with queen bed was modern and sleek, but with annoying bathroom features, such as no bath, limited […] counter space, a weird place for the facial soap and poor lighting. But the shower was great and spacious. Also, it does annoy me that there is no refrigerator space for your own beverages and that you have to call down for ice and there's no self-serve ice option. My final complaint are the elevators: slow, small and sterile in lighting and design. However, we did enjoy our stay, as the beds were comfortable, the TV and iPad were nice touches and the bar made you feel like you were in a cool NYC locale - which we were. Read more
Had stayed here many times. Great hotel. Great location. New room color was disappointing (preferred the white before) but room continues to be very nice. Speedy of response from staff, on a couple of quick requests, was less than optimal. But friendliness and overall service were good. Recommend.
"Great location, overpriced"
Great location. Modern, techy. Do not take comfort room, it includes a "mirror cabinet" which eats the room size not really addid value. Restourant and bar are overpriced. Barkeepers are losing interest to you if you are after a bier only.

"The Royalton NYC - 4 star lounge 2.5 star room"
The lobby / lounge area is excellent. Always people enjoying the trendy atmosphere. The elevator and hallways are very narrow. The hallway smelled of smoke. My room had a view of a fire escape. The rooms are small, the bed is hard and there is only a shower (no bath). The room was clean and the hotel is very near 5th Avenue shopping and Broadway. Excellent […] location and if you just need a clean, convenient place to sleep while you party...you will love this place! If you are in NYC for business and comfort in your room is as important as location...seek another hotel. Read more

"Royalton is a great location for a stay in NY city"
The Royalton is located in smack-center Manhattan, close to everything. This is my favorite location for a sty in Midtown. The service is excellent and the rooms are very nice.
