This was the perfect spot for some 4th of July weekend R&R with special time to host a Brunch for a nephew doing a summer intership at the NY Stock Exchange. The staff is handsome, helpful and so polite. It is a resonable walk to the Theatre District and there is a neighborhood of good restauants steps away. The restaurant,... more

I recently took my granddaughter to NYC for her first time and it was her choice to stay at The Alex Hotel. We loved it! The staff could not have been better in any aspect, and took care of each of our needs quickly and efficiently. They graciously upgraded us to a suite and the added space, full kitchen, and... more

Great "operator" at... more

Was on 11th floor, so minimal traffic noise... more

Stayed here for a week on a business trip during February, having booked it through Expedia where we got an amazing rate (circa £150 per night). For the money, given that hotels in New York can be expensive, this was a bargain. The hotel is nice, with recently decorated contemporary rooms and a boutique feel. Whilst my room was a... more
