The hotel

The clue’s in the name — The Sanctuary Hotel is a haven in its own right. If you're on a couples city break, or a girls weekend away, this is a great option (particularly if you're a bit of a foodie!). From a sushi restaurant and rooftop cocktail bar, to richly detailed rooms, you’ll be spoilt for choice with where to spend some down-time. Make the most of the complimentary breakfast each morning, and be fully-fuelled to spend the day exploring the Big Apple. You’ll even have the hotel’s S.T.A.R concierge on hand for ‘Service Tailored to Any Request’, so you can (quite literally) make this your very own sanctuary.

Beautiful hotel so peaceful and yet only steps to Time Square, breakfast did the job before setting off for the day. The room had everything you would need shower gels shampoo etc comfy bed. Would definitely recommend and go back again. Taxi arranged by Vichet who sorted everything for us and helped with our luggage.

Nice room...even better staff. The sinks were more decorative than actually function (extremely shallow) and some basic room amenities were lacking (no microwave or full-size ironing board) Otherwise room was very nice. Staff could not be more pleasant or helpful. Vicket Chy was extremely helpful with our bags and arranging cabs.
