    Overview of Empire Hotel - New York

    From the rooftop of the Empire Hotel, you can peer into the stars twinkling above the Manhattan skyline. If you're lucky, you may see a real-life star at the sky-high bar. Commonly mentioned in fashion mags and gossip rags, the Empire Hotel is a slice of Hollywood in New York's Upper West Side. As celebrities know, it's an ideal refuge for a getaway, as well as a central spot for discovering the beauty of Manhattan. Step outside the hotel for a concert at Lincoln Center or an aria at the Metropolitan Opera House, both just around the corner. Go for a jog in Central Park, located only 1 block away. World-renowned shops and restaurants are a 5-minute walk south to the Time Warner Center in Columbus Circle.

    After a day spent roaming the Big Apple, you can return to the Empire for an afternoon cocktail on the rooftop deck, which includes a bar and lounge, seasonal outdoor pool, and private cabanas. The East Terrace has a convertible glass roof for rain-or-shine partying. The hotel has a resident DJ on the weekend, and signature cocktails and appetizers are served. For a cozy evening meal, hearty chowder and ales are prepared in Chef Ed Brown’s elegant and casual Chowder House.

    Perfect for unwinding, the rooms at the Empire feature beds with Italian Frette linens, showers with teak flooring and tropical rain showerheads, refrigerators and iPod docking stations. Contact your concierge to reserve a chauffeur, for turndown service, or for an overnight shoeshine.

    Empire Hotel Central Park

    A short guide to Central Park

    Buildings crane above one another to claim views of Central Park, a piece of real estate valued at more than $528 billion. Surprises abound in its 843 acres. The grounds include a castle, a zoo, several lakes, and an Egyptian obelisk. A city that never sleeps needs its quiet time, too: Central Park has six designated “quiet zones,” including Strawberry Fields, the monument to John Lennon.

    Too many annoying details to give a better review. 1- Air conditioning made deafening noise. 2- Maid took bath mat and wash cloths, but didn't replace them; request to have them replaced resulted in new bath mat, but no wash cloths. 3- Bathroom had no counter and no hooks, just narrow and high shelves to place articles. 4- Intermittent odor of cigarette […] smoke in room (and we don't smoke). 5- Waited in line to go up to rooftop bar; not told that most of bar taken up with private party; no response when I mentioned that hotel guests should have been told beforehand.

    Nice funky little hotel in a GREAT spot right across the street from Lincoln Center. The room was small but lovely and had a retro feel to it that was fun. Definitely will stay there again. Also, the bar/lounge on the first level was a nice spot for an after-theatre drink.

    We loved our stay at the Empire. The location is simply the best in NYC for the price. The staff was courteous, friendly, and the service was exceptional. We dealt with the check in staff, concierge, doormen, and facilities (to request more towels) and everyone was fantastic. The room was small, but this is to be expected in Manhattan! Our only gripe […] is that there is no door on the shower, so taking a shower made the entire (small) bathroom a bit of a wet mess. Otherwise, we loved our stay and can't wait to come back! Read more

    They should have mentioned when I checked in that the room w/ a view would also result in extreme construction noise from the street. The construction noise (jackhammers, etc.) started in the early AM & woke me up. I never would have stayed in the room if I had known that.

    We stayed at this hotel a few years ago and enjoyed our stay. This time, a different story. We were shown our room, a regular queen size bed. Only two feet of space on three sides of the bed. Too small for a four night stay. We paid additional money per night extra for an upgraded king bed room. The young lady that checked us in was able to reduce the […] upgrade cost by fifty percent. Ice was from room service only. Housekeeping either did not leave soap or toilet paper or not enough towels. We do not plan on staying at the Empire again. Read more

    Just what we were looking for: excellent location near Central Park (we ran NYC Half Marathon which started 2 blocks away in the park), Lincoln Center, 2 subway stops nearby, a Starbucks and a 24 hr. convenience shop next door. Empire is a smaller hotel (elevators easy to get), friendly reception staff; the rooms could use a little sprucing up (paint, […] carpets) but decor is sleek, modern. Would have preferred free Wifi in rooms (it is free in lobby) and extra towels already in room. Read more

    Convenient for the Opera, but overpriced for what they offered. After checking in and running some errands, we were trying to bathe before meeting friends. Room had only a shower with the head mounted in the ceiling, we couldn't get the control to switch to the hand held. Waited 45 minutes, after 3 calls for someone to come. Bath had steel beam supporting […] the building running through the middle of it. And clear glass between the shower and toilet. Not my idea of class. Read more

    Very pleasant after first night, which was in a room on the first floor that was totally unacceptable, VERY small, no place to set open suitcase, inadequate lighting and other shortcomings, such as slow drain in bathroom sink, the window facing an small interior light shaft with a view of rusting machinery and other decaying unidentifiable objects. […] Definitely not what is posted on the web site as being the standard for this hotel. The room on the second floor that they transferred me to the next day was comfortable, well-lighted, with a street view and all the amenities missing from the first one. Service was excellent. Concierge outstanding, one of the best ever. Restaurant (Chowder House) and room service both excellent. After the first night's experience, this was a welcome surprise. I will return on my next trip, if reservations are available. Read more

    The hotel staff was very nice and the location was perfect. It is easy access to public transportation, restaurants, and entertainment. However, there were some things that were a problem for me. The cleaning of the room was inconsistent-- two hand towels one day, only one another day, no wash cloths the first two days, no bathmat for the floor on at […] all. The rain showerhead is a fixed showerhead in the ceiling that cannot be adjusted and that does not provide good water flow. Read more

    We were in NYC for a Juilliard audition so the location was perfect. Unfortunately the bed was lumpy and uncomfortable and the room was very hot.

    We got a good deal at this hotel, so any flaws that we found were negligible. The room itself was nice, standard size for ny hotels, good sheets, no complaints. We asked for a room with a view facing outside - the only available rooms were smoking floors. The smoke scent was not as strong so we were ok with staying in the room. The view was great, we […] were able to overlook the north side of the hotel with lincoln center to our left. Our biggest complaint would be the bathroom. The sink was barely usable as there was a column right in front of it so even I (a petite woman) could not stand directly in front of it. The shower had only a half-glass stall so if you stood towards the end of the shower you would feel the cold draft. The tiling looked of cheap wood laminate as well, not too classy looking. Again, we got a good deal for the room so to us the stay was great. Location is superb. Read more
