Midtown, New York

Virgin rating

The hotel

Part of the very fabric of Midtown Manhattan, this Art Deco attraction is proudly capped with the red ‘New Yorker’ sign that’s made it a landmark in the city skyline. Inside its iconic 1929 shell, this Jazz Age hotel’s held on to its heritage with Art Deco inspired rooms, while moving with the times with complimentary WiFi. Its top location, just a block from Penn Station and Madison Square Garden, means you’re well placed for attractions like Macy’s, Times Square and the Empire State Building. And it doesn’t matter what time you finish exploring, its 24-hour Tick Tock Diner will give you a taste of New York with American comfort food classics like burgers and all-day breakfasts. If you fancy something a little more upmarket, the New Yorker’s Trattoria Bianca comes with an oyster bar.

Nice renewed "Old Time" hotel with art-deco designs. Seemed really busy. Always lots of people in the lobby. Good elevator arrangement.

Great location but rooms are 5 years past renovation. No kettle in rooms and borderline historic bathrooms

We stayed at the New Yorker for six days as part of a group trip, and had two rooms for our family. The rooms are cramped, and while one was clean, the other either needed a good cleaning or new carpet. That's the room in which one of us awoke with bedbug bites.

We stayed at the New Yorker for six days as part of a group trip, and had two rooms for our family. The rooms are cramped, and while one was clean, the other either needed a good cleaning or new carpet. That's the room in which one of us awoke with bedbug bites. We told our tour operator, who talked to the hotel management, who promptly moved us to another room. But, not once, ever, did anyone at the hotel apologize for our experience, nor did they even whisper the word "bedbug." They brushed us aside as if we were as much of a pest as the actual pests. They clearly hoped the issue would just go away. While this was the worst part of our experience with the hotel, it wasn't the only one. You need to be a contortionist to move around the rooms, and the bathrooms are right out of the 1930's. And not the good part of the '30s. Want coffee in your room? Good luck. Apparently you can rent a coffee maker for an exorbitant price, or buy a $6 latte at the coffee stand in the lobby. Don't get me started on the Tick Tock Diner. Like the hotel, they like to call it "historic," as if that makes up for the mediocre food and erratic service. On the plus side, the hotel is in a central location, and it has a nice lobby. Too bad they didn't also invest money in the rooms and in staff training. Read less

Perfectly adequate hotel, right next to Penn Station. Near to the centre of most things you might need to do in NY. We found it very convenient. The hotel itself is beautiful, but the Old Lady is looking tired around the edges. Our room was very small, but being as we only slept there, we made it our base. All the staff were lovely and friendly,… Read more

Loved the hotel. My second time staying there. I had business at Madison Square Garden. Very convenient to that as well as many other things! I'm staying there again this week. My new favorite NY Hotel!
