This is a lovely old hotel right in the middle of the "right" part of Manhatten. When we first arrived we were given a massive 1st Floor room facing Park Avenue. After a very noisy night we were moved without hesitation to a suite on the 20th floor facing the cross street, which was much quieter.

The early morning guided walk of entral Park is a lovely way to start the day, as is Breakfast in Feinsteins.

If you prefer more intimate 'family' run hotels this is the one for you in NYC. If you like corporate branded sterile blandness then the W is only a few blocks away...

Excellent staff, Excellent location, Excellent Value for money.

We are frequent visitors to New York City and like to stay in modern, luxury hotels that are in nice, convenient locations. Often we travel with our 14 year old daughter and our beloved 4 year old terrier, so we are looking for places that are welcoming to kids and dogs! The Regency fits the bill on all counts.

Our last visit was over the Christmas holiday. We arrived on Christmas eve and stayed for three nights. We had a deluxe luxury king which turned out to be one of the largest rooms I have ever stayed in in the city. The furnishings were tasteful and classically modern, sophisticated but not cold. There were plenty of places to store clothes (and we travel with a lot), books, etc. The room had a large desk, table and small banquette, and in another area, a comfortable chair with a great reading lamp.
The bathroom was not particularly large, but well appointed with plenty of counter space. It also contained a large tub and separate shower stall with European fixtures - great for us since by husband likes to bathe and I shower.
Although quite full, the hotel staff couldn't have been nicer, although the service was a bit slow in the smaller library like cafe where we ate breakfast.
There is also a great fitness facility at the hotel, free to guests. If that is important to you, than this one does a good job of providing many extras (yoga mats, fitness balls, etc.) that you don't get in all hotels.
We have stayed here a number of times and will definitely return again.
