Built in 1904, the handsome brownstone-and-brick Lucerne Hotel has an undeniable charm and Old New York ambience, from the ornate, European-inspired lobby with brass chandeliers and marble floors, to the acclaimed service. Like its Upper West Side Historic District neighborhood, the Lucerne is elegant, but remains relaxed and unpretentious. This 4-star hotel is ideal for avoiding the throngs of Midtown tourists but still maintaining easy access to top attractions. The American Museum of Natural History and Hayden Planetarium are a 10-minute walk. Just beyond is Central Park, perfect for long walks and skyline views. The subway line located just steps away, on Broadway, connects you directly to Times Square and the Theater District, a 10-minute ride; Wall Street, a 25-minute ride; and Brooklyn, a half-hour away.
While the dining options in this city are endless, don't feel guilty about making more than 1 trip to Nice Matin, the popular French-Mediterranean bistro connected to the Lucerne. Grab a quick continental breakfast (surcharge) before you head out in the morning, or linger over a 3-course grilled-lamb dinner on the seasonal patio. An added convenience for busy travelers: Room service is available 24 hours. And if you're traveling for work, you'll appreciate both the business center and complimentary Wi-Fi, available throughout the hotel. When the workday is done, you can burn off some steam in the fitness center--or head straight to the in-house spa for a massage. (In-room treatments are also available.)
Renovated in 2009, elegant guestrooms and suites have rich cherry-wood furniture and warm European decor. Windows open to city views, and guestrooms on the upper floors have views of the Hudson River. Unwind with premium cable on the flat-screen TV, or opt for pay movies or a Nintendo game (surcharges apply). Remote printing to the front desk is complimentary. Staying a while? Suites offer separate sitting areas, and kitchenettes with microwaves, refrigerators, and dishware.

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.

The hotel is very well located for the meetings I attend. It is in a neighborhood setting which is very nice and very different from a midtown hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Upper West Side Location"
The Lucerne is very well-located, one short block to the subway, and is clean, comfortable and reasonably priced. The staff is friendly and very responsive (we asked for extra towels following a late-evening arrival, and they sent up more than we asked for right away). While the bathroom was updated and very clean, the room furnishings are a bit fusty […] -- heavy window treatments and the like -- and could use updating. Also, I prefer that the bedding be all changeable, without exposed blankets. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"A good place to stay in Uptown West"
When we arrived to our room, the room was not made. The linens were folded on top of the unmade bed and the shower had no curtain so we called the reception and they moved us to another room. Overall the size of the rooms is very small but the rooms are clean, well kept and comfortable.This is a good hotel if you need to stay in the upper west side […] of Manhattan. Overall, my wife and I agreed we would use it again if nbecessary. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"I would stay here again"
We had a lovely time; the hotel is very service oriented which I love. The room was clean and spacious. Only one little glitch was the shower. The water was either very hot or very cold and quite difficult to get to a middle ground.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Loved this place"
We had some trouble with our hot water for 2 days. We had to wait for them to fix it both times, but people were nice and everything else was fantastic! Beds were very comfortable.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Overnight stay"
We stayed in The Lucerne for one night after an opera visit. The service was very good and the room clean and comfortable. For those with little experience in NYC, we booked a superior room. I haven't seen the regular room in this hotel, but I know the shoeboxes in other hotels. So, this category was definetly worthwhile the higher costs. The only (minor) […] complaint was that the top sheets came late (but they came and were still warm from the dryer). The hotel is conveniently located close to good restaurants and not far away from the Lincoln center, our main destination. We will come back for sure. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Old School Nice"
Very nice hotel. Retro feel. However, the polyester burgundy comforter and pillow sets should go. Nice Matin serves a wonderful breakfast. Room service was okay, not stellar. My gilled salmon arrived just warm, not hot.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Excellent location on Upper West Side"
Excellent location on upper west side, close to transportation and good restaurants, price is reasonable, but this is not an inexpensive hotel. Price is somewhat high. Room was very nice, but somewhat small with a very small and unusable closet. Could not place much clothing n the closet much less a suitcase, etc. Would stay again as it is an excellent […] location for us when we visit NYC. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Excellent Upper West Side Option"
This is a very nice, reasonably priced option for the Upper West Side. The location is excellent, the hotel itself is clean, functional and well run. There are plenty of restaurants of all types within a few blocks, and Nice Matin, the bistro connected to the hotel is very good. This isn't a particularly glitzy or luxurious option, but it is comfortable, […] convenient, everything works and the staff is very good. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Very satisfactory"
Room was very small for a superior room. No coffee available in room. Clean with friendly staff. Reasonably priced for NY. I will return if I need to be in upper West side of the city.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great weekend, perfect location!"
Great location. Lots of shopping, subway and restaurants nearby. Zabar's around the corner. Concierge was very helpful, got us great seats Saturday night for Wicked. Had a terrific breakfast at Nice Matin, the French restaurant off the lobby.Genuine Expedia guest review
I think we got a cramped room because we booked through hotels.com. Instead of directly with the hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Fine hotel well priced"
Overall great stay. Would definitely return.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Uptown convenience"
The Lucerne has a lovely staff and a terrific location - the 79th St. crosstown bus is right there, the Bway IRT a block away, great food and shopping options nearby. Nice Matin, a wonderful restaurant, is downstairs, with a 15% discount on breakfast for guests. One of my NYC visit "things" is to go to the Met Museum when it opens at 9:30. The crosstown […] bus delivers you practically to the door (use the parking garage entrance for a speedy entry to the museum). Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"We'll go back to this one"
We really enjoyed our recent stay and found the hotel quiet, comfortable, friendly, and the location was great - easy access to subway (1 block away), buses. The staff was friendly and greeted us pleasantly. Liz, the concierge, was very helpful. The room was nicely appointed and the bed quite comfortable. Our room was on the small side, but that was […] not a problem. There are plenty of breakfast spots with a block or two. We found this an ideal spot for our visits to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Lincoln Center (easy walk). Would stay there again for certain! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Great location, quiet, fun, subway half block"
The hotel is old, (with small rooms and bathrooms) but well maintained, in a wonderful neighborhood with shops and restaurants. The best part is the location, one half block from the subway # 1 which you can use to quickly go to other parts of the city.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Great Older Style Hotel in a Terrific Location"
Excellent hotel with friendly competent staff. Rooms are furnished in Empire Style furntiure which looks a bit dated but well maintained. The location couldn't be better with a nice resaonable French restaurant on site. The shower in my room was like a fire hose and that was a big plus. Would stay there again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
