This hotel is the best place for tourists who seek good location, a little luxury and even some night life, in my opinion. It's by Central Park and 2 subway stations away from Times Square. In general, it has a good service and premises. However, air condintioning machines into our room was incredibly noisy. You'd better keep window open and... more

Me and my husband stayed at the Empire on the first leg of our honeymoon at the start of the month. We had a great stay: loved the modern decor and found the hotel very clean and friendly. We received an upgrade on our room with excellent results! Our room had the most fabulous bed...it was huge and so comfy.... more

Excellent location right near Lincoln Centre and a short walk to Central Park and Broadway. Seemed like a tiny room (and nothing nice in the view) for the price but guess that's common in New York! Hotel interior is very stylish and looks like a nice party location. Didn't get to checking out the rooftop pool area but it looks... more

It's a really nice hotel. Clean and nicely decorated. Every day you can take a fresh apple from the desk downstairs :D! The room was rather small, but was big enough for both of us. The bathroom had a great rain shower (no door! if you press the wrong button, everything gets wet .. hiiii), it was very small and... more

Stayed at Empire Hotel as part of my honeymoon. The hotel location, the decor, the size of the room, the cleanliness, the rooftop bar was all first class. But, when we arrived at reception to check in a family in front of us were complaining and were upgraded to a junior suite. We had booked a junior suite and we... more

We arrived a little early and were advised that our rooms weren't quite ready , so we went for a walk while they looked after our bags. when we came back, i was asked for a credit card to check in. this shocked us, as we hadnt been advised... more

From the sound of things I think we were upgraded to a superior room at the front of the hotel . The room was great with quality material throughout.. The room was a decent size and passed the 'can i fully open my suitcase on the floor' test". Overall, the hotel experience was very positive. The downside is the bathroom... more

I was celebrating my Bachelorette party at this hotel. We stayed for 2 nights in double queen suit. The view weren’t very impressive, but we didn’t care. We also stayed at the highest floor, which is 11th. If you prefer to hear elevator bells every morning – that floor is for you. They have breakfast buffet on 11th floor, so... more

We had a great stay. The hotel has been completely redone and is modern, hip and trendy. Most importantly however it is comfortable, clean and in an ideal location. I read a few reviews about the staff and they are fairly accurate – not the best. However, the hotel as a whole is worthwhile. Tourist: If you’re in town as... more
