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.

The service is exceptional from the moment you reach the door. All staff go out of their way to make sure you are taken care of and to answer questions and meet any needs that arise. Vichet and Joshua were great with managing luggage and arranging transportation. I will definitely stay here again.

Perfectly situated hotel for Times square and within walking distance of most things. Lovely rooms and the most helpful lobby/ reception staff who couldn’t do enough to help us have a great stay. Really comfy bed, quirky bathroom facility but a great shower, lovely toiletries and amenity kits provided Breakfast was included but it gets busy as it’s a small room, basic pastries fruit and coffee but enough to sustain you until lunchtime! Roof top bar was great, restaurant looked nice but we didn’t eat there as it was really popular. Only issue is the noise from traffic, pedal rickshaw drivers with their big boom boxes blaring music out as they pass the hotel - but after a busy day in NYC you’re usually too tired to worry too much.

Cannot fault anything about our stay. We stayed for four nights and everything and everyone was so attentive. Somebody was on the front desk 24/7 to deal with any queries we had, they even rang up our transport company for us the day before our departure to ensure our pick up. The staff were all polite and professional and the rooftop bar was amazing. The room was cleaned every day and was an excellent standard. Definitely one of the best hotels we've stayed at in NYC. And a big shout out to Vichet and Jonathan who opened the door for us every day and tended to our luggage and they were always polite and friendly. All in all a fantastic place to stay and would love to stay again next time we visit. Read less
