The hotel

The clue’s in the name — The Sanctuary Hotel is a haven in its own right. 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.

I stayed at the Sanctuary this weekend and I was pleasantly surprised. Location- They are located right off of Times Square a perfect balance of not in the mix of the crowds and noise but easy to get to the crowds and noise. We heard no noise from our room and slept wonderfully. Staff- Front Desk staff were great and so was housekeeping. We actually had our room down graded due to overbooking from a wedding and the Manager was very accommodating and apologetic he allowed us to check in early/offered us late check out/ and got us some appetizers and drinks from their overly popular rooftop restaurant-the haven. We were very pleased with the level of customer service. Parking- you're given a voucher at checkout $40 over night parking for discounted parking which is about 2 blacks away. We had to self park which was fine because the bell hop took our bags upstairs so we would not have to carry through NYC streets. Cleanliness- The room was very clean updated and modern we loved the in shower room feature, although it was small we still felt like it was plenty room for 2 ppl. Overall it was an amazing stay and I will def return. Read less

Room are very, very small. Window in the room I couldn't open, but if I could I'll have view to the brick wall one meter close with silly painting of palm, beach and boat. I had to switch air system, cause had bad allergy when it was on. No one came in the room to change sheets, refill cosmetic, change towels four days. Finally after my second… Read more

I had to switch air system, cause had bad allergy when it was on. No one came in the room to change sheets, refill cosmetic, change towels four days. Finally after my second request someone was in the room and just change towels, without refilling shampoo and shower gel, and soap disappeared. Never again. Read less

This was not our first visit to Sanctuary, but the last time was five years previous so I wondered how it would be, particularly during Covid.. From the moment we arrived right up to departure, I cannot think of anything to criticize about this hotel. It must be said that Jimmy, the Concierge, is the heart and soul of Sanctuary and the staff makes every effort to live up to his standards. He even recognized us after so many years. Even though it is undergoing renovation and therefore does not have a restaurant, at a time chosen by us, a 'breakfast box' arrived. In each box was coffee, juice, yogurt, an apple and a croissant. Our very own continental breakfast without the line up Sanctuary is half way between Times Square and 6th Avenue. They must have special windows because we never heard any noise. One thing I would like to see is some seating in the reception/lobby area I have stayed hear with sister, and husband, and friend (all different visits :) ) It suits every occasion and I heartily recommend this centrally located well-designed hotel.
