Exquisite details including works of floral art by Jane Packer create a residential air complemented by glorious views of Central Park. The 1930s landmark building has been redesigned into a chic yet classic hotel, with contemporary rooms, a grand restaurant, and the only northeastern spa by Switzerland's La Prairie.

My husband and I just checked out and I have to say I was disappointed. We were celebrating a milestone anniversary and our first COVID trip. At check-in, the front desk member seemed distracted and/or disinterested. They upgraded us to a partial park view (based on my Bonvoy Gold status) on a low floor, but the “upgraded” room was an ADA room with peeling paint on the ceiling above the shower. Furthermore, the shower could not be operated without water pouring onto the slippery floor which created a hazard. In all likelihood, I should have requested another room, but was tired and didn’t have the energy to complain. Also, we ordered a new telephone remote, the gentleman came into the room without knocking to deliver it. He mentioned that he thought we were out, but I still think he should have knocked before entering. I mentioned some of these details when I checked out, but front desk seemed a little flustered and/or disinterested. On the upside, the concierge, doormen and room service was fabulous. The hotel itself is beautiful. I’d totally be willing to try the Ritz Central Park again, and hope for a better experience. Maybe they were just having an off weekend? It’ll be even better when they re-open the bar, restaurant and spa. Read less

Here’s what you need to know: great hotel that stands out in its management and customer service. Had the most warm and engaging young manager (the best we’ve ever had the pleasure of interacting with in hospitality) Andrea Munoz really engage with my family (especially the kids) to make for the most memorable vacation after their post pandemic reopening in early June 2021. Given that hotels like the ritz and the four seasons and the plaza have incredible locations and beautifully appointed rooms as just table stakes, what really makes one more memorable than the other is how they make you feel during your vacation and how well managed these properties are. That’s why I would put Ritz Central Park amongst the best of the best in the country. The staff and management go out of their way to welcome you with warmth and courtesy. I cannot overstate our appreciation for Andrea who displayed the most genuine affinity and care for her guests and my family (especially my 4 and 7 year olds) were completely overjoyed in their interactions with her. Obviously that customer focus trickles down to all her staff and they created a magical week long stay at the property for us. The hotel’s location is as good as any in NYC overlooking Central Park and the room was gorgeous with elegant styling (e.g. marble bathrooms with all the amenities), generous space, and beautiful appointments (e.g. amazingly comfortable linens / bed and Nespresso service available upon request). The phones are always picked up promptly and all requests are taken care of without ever a need to call back. Overall, an amazing visit and we will be sure to patronize this property for years to come. Read less

As far as RC's go, it's not world class. If you're looking for an incredible view of the park you're probably not going to get it. Lobby feels cramped and not awe inspiring. Lounge area is ok but definitely many better options. Room sizes are nice. Some dusty spots. Make sure you demand a higher floored room.

We stayed here as a group staycation and it was an enjoyable stay. If you’re coming for vacation I would recommend a room with a view of Central Park otherwise the view is internal. The service is excellent and as expected of The Ritz Carlton, but without the views, honestly there are hotels with similar high level service at these price points.… Read more

The service is excellent and as expected of The Ritz Carlton, but without the views, honestly there are hotels with similar high level service at these price points. The location is fantastic, steps away from Central Park and not too far away from the theatre. Have a drink by the lobby bar, but skip the hotel restaurant. Go down the street and have a meal at Jams instead. Read less
