Great stay on Central Park. Terrific service with early check and the rooms and bathrooms are really head and shoulders above so many places in the area. They are doing some exterior work and there is scaffolding but the front desk made an effort to be sure we had a Central Park view from one window at least.

Great stay on Central Park. Terrific service with early check and the rooms and bathrooms are really head and shoulders above so many places in the area. They are doing some exterior work and there is scaffolding but the front desk made an effort to be sure we had a Central Park view from one window at least. The bar/lounge and open space is subtle and not huge but great. The club lounge was not open at the time of our stay. Our bedroom faced an interior courtyard but there were darkening shades and no discernible noise. Will definitely stay again. Read less

We booked the Ritz Carlton Nomad because we flew to town to attend a concert at Madison Square Gardens. The Nomad is NOT what one expects when staying at a Ritz Carlton. We went to the Ritz Carlton Central Park. This is the quid essential Ritz Carlton that we all expect and deserve. The General Manager, Andrew C. Rogers, saw us looking in the lobby and greeted us (to obviously be helpful). Andrew Rogers engaged us in conversation, shared experiences, and made a real connection with us. It was impeccable service for a General Manager to take the time and greet “common guest” in the lobby. He offered us a tour of the hotel (which unfortunately we didn't have enough time) and asked if we needed anything. Andrew C. Rogers exhibited qualities that elevate our experience to an extraordinary level. He was welcoming and warm (From the moment we arrived, the hotel manager greeted us with a genuine smile and warm welcome, making us feel immediately at home); highly attentive; professional and courteous; and an exceptional communicator. He went the extra mile that left a lasting impression with us. Whenever in N.Y. City again, the only place we will stay is Ritz Carlton Central Park. Read less

We stayed here while my son was checking out some local colleges. We enjoyed the proximity to Central Park. The staff at this hotel make you feel welcome in NYC. They are all so friendly, from the bellmen to the waitstaff in the restaurant to the housekeeping ladies that came to tidy up our room. We especially enjoyed speaking with Haque in the restaurant! The rooms are a bit older, but they are well maintained and comfortable. The shower heads in the showers could use an update, but that would really be my only complaint. We enjoyed our short stay.
