The hotel

In the on-trend East Side, this is a Midtown must for those wanting to see the sights and shop the shops of NYC without having to wander far. In fact, it’s just blocks from the boutiques of Fifth Avenue and treats of Bloomingdale’s, and a stroll from guidebook favourites like Central Park, Times Square, Rockefeller Center, and Radio City Music Hall. It may be surrounded by iconic architecture, but Doubletree by Hilton Metropolitan holds its own in the style stakes. Originally the brainchild of Art Deco architect Morris Lapidus, it’s been brought back to its former glory while being bolstered by modern traveller musts, like its Met Grill, where you can tuck into full stateside or Continental breakfasts, and its Met Bar, a trendy lounge with cocktails, oversized sports screens, and an evening menu of ‘Met Bar Bites’.

I had a reservation here for August 13-15, 2021 but learned on July 21, 2021 that the hotel will NOT be open on those dates, re-opening delayed until September, 2021 at the earliest, no doubt due to the resurgence in COVID-19 cases.

I had a reservation here for August 13-15, 2021 but learned on July 21, 2021 that the hotel will NOT be open on those dates, re-opening delayed until September, 2021 at the earliest, no doubt due to the resurgence in COVID-19 cases. The annoying part is that I had to spend a long time on hold with Hilton's national reservations service to learn that the reservation (actually made through a third party vendor) was cancelled and that all August, 2021 reservations are cancelled. Have not been able to get written confirmation, and the third party vendor has refused to refund me even though they admit that the reservation was cancelled and my travel dates were NOT flexible. I challenged the charge with my credit card company. The lack of communication is disturbing to say the least. Read less

I had locked in a good rate despite some troubling reviews only to be alerted that my reservation has been cancelled 10 days prior to arrival and I need to find another hotel. My assumption would be they knew closure was coming??? Super poor!!!

Jun 23, 2021 nindiri Puerto Rico

A hole in the wall. Runned down. The elevators are always packed. The halls moldy. This morning I woke up to a dirty diaper infront of my door. DO NOT STAY HERE because of the low rates, pay more and enjoy a clean safe stay. The structure is old broken and dirty.

Our reservations were cancelled by the hotel with no explanation. Now we are left scrambling to find new accommodations. What terrible customer service and so stressful. We are likely just going to throw away our points and move to a new chain.
