    Okay, there's another review for Andaz here and it cracks me up because aside from the lobby poo smell issue (it smelled fine to us), the rest is spot on, especially the lighting in the bathrooms lmao. It truly is simultaneously dark but harsh as heck, and putting on makeup is a real adventure because who knows what you're gonna look like when you get outside. We wound up here after a last-minute accommodation change and needed a place to stay for 6 nights. The rooms were clean and relatively spacious. We were out from the crack of dawn till bedtime, so we didn't need many amenities or anything too fancy, and the location is very convenient. The bed is on the firmer side, but the pillows were poofy, good enough. My only real complaint is also the showerless doors. They're awful, especially when they install a rain showerhead on the ceiling that cannot be moved, so every shower is like doing your best to keep more water inside the shower than out. The Byredo Eleventh Hour toiletries were nice. Service at check-in was friendly. The island check-in desk just hanging out in the middle of the lobby is weird... and do the staff have to stand next to that thing all day?! It looks so uncomfortable for them. Hotels in Manhattan aren't cheap to begin with, but this Andaz is definitely not one I'd happily pay $800-1k/night for.

    I've always wanted to stay at Andaz 5th Ave, and it was very convenient for all the touristy things we had planned. I redeemed 135,000 + SUA to secure an Andaz Suite for my MIL + teens. I redeemed 100,000 + Cat 1-7 FNA for our King room. We were upgraded to a King City View Deluxe at checkin. Our room faced the NY Library and it was lovely. We had tickets to see Maybe Happy Ending and the Belasco Theatre was a short 10min walk away. Beautiful musical, highly recommend. Daily breakfast at the restaurant was covered for our family of 5 since both hubby and I are Globalist. We loved the complimentary in room snacks and beverages. Hotel also gifted my MIL a bottle or Prosecco for her birthday. My only complaint is the doorless showers. I also wish they had Nespresso machines and Dyson hair dryers in the regular rooms too. The pull down curtain for the bathroom in the Andaz suite was weird, along with the missing door to the toilet in the king room. Very odd design.

    I had the most awesome experience here. The staff was very professional and accommodating. I had a couple hiccups and there was no back and forth, they quickly sprung to action and resolved the issue to my satisfaction. From front desk to room service to housekeeping we received a complete white glove service. I had the loft bedroom. Very nice modern and spacious. Room service was very posh with actual plates cloth napkins and spot free silverware; complimentary chocolates and champagne and a personalized note. The food was tasty and plentiful. Lots of photo worthy spots throughout the property. Excellent location between 2 train stations, across from NY public library and shopping and just a short walk from Times Square. My new favorite NY hotel!

    So glad to have picked this place for my weekend stay in NYC. From valet parking to the complimentary wine hour (with very generous pours) and lastly their baseman restaurant with a good size selection for breakfast (had steak and eggs and lobster frittata) what else can you ask for! If you are a Globalist, using points, the valet and breakfast are complimentary! I stayed at one of their Andaz suite. Huge by NYC standards and loved the shower and the free sodas, water, chips and chocolate bar in the refrig (complimentary too). Only comment is that there is no door between living room and bedroom and the bathroom doors takes a getting used too. It's my first time staying at an Andaz property and highly recommend this hotel for a stay in the city!

    I liked this hotel very much. Prices are reasonable considering the location and the lofted ceilings. 12 feet ceilings in New York really make a difference. Try asking for a city view room and you won't be sorry. Unlike some of the other places I have experienced in New York, the service feels curated but not high brow. Globalists are entitled a breakfast which includes room service. I loved the design themes incorporated here including high schoolers painting some of the common area walls. Amenities are also quite nice, a little masculine scented but really made my hair poof up, and with a receding hairline that says a lot. Also, most items in the mini bar are complimentary and they do a nice offering of hot apple cider and complimentary wine. The details here are very thought out, which is not a garauntee at this price point in nyc.

    Lobby!

    Sleek and Stylish Minimalistic Midtown Boutique Hotel. State-Of-The-Art System. Amazing Staff. High Ceiling Rooms. Quiet. Great nights rests. Every amenity has its place. Ideal for on-the-go travelers. Right across from NYPL and Bryant Park. Walkable to Broadway and Garment District. Easy UBER PUs. CHEERS!

    Came here 02/07/2023. Andaz 5th Avenue is a upper-end boutique hotel part of Hyatt that is located in Midtown Manhattan. A mixed experience that had some bumps. Hopefully this will be a 5 star review the next time I stay. I am a Globalist so this review will be from that perspective. Points booking. My stay was two parts: Feb 7-9 then Feb 9-11 First part of stay Feb 7-9: The hotel was supposedly very full when I got there (essentially sold out). I arrived quite early around 8-9 AM. I was told by a front desk associate that a room was ready for me, but if I "waited for a bit" then they could get me a nicer room as well as a higher floor. I thought that it wouldn't be too short of a wait, so I accepted. Well, what actually happened is that I had to wait 3-4 hours. I ended up actually getting my keys and checking in to 0815 around 12-1 PM. I was running short on time for lunch plans with my friends and really needed to wash up. As a result of the hot water issue, I actually ended up missing my reservation. To top it off, the room that I was given has no view whatsoever (faces a building) and was clearly showing its wear and tear (dirt and dust on the curtains/shades, scuff marks on walls and trims). I was really disappointed because if I had known that this would happen, I would've just taken the room that was ready at my arrival, I've never had an oversight like no hot water happen before. Unexpected from a Cat 6. Second part of stay Feb 9-11: Much better. Was upgraded to 1 King Andaz Suite (standard suite). Room was what I was expecting and quite large by NYC standards. I think I was put in 1208. On day of check out, I woke up with insane food poisoning. Wasn't sure if I would survive the trip to JFK. I'm not 100% sure if it came from the hotel, but the only thing I ate the day prior was hotel breakfast + Per Se. TL;DR: No hot water on arrival, put in a crappy room as a Globalist. Hotel management is responsive but services misses throughout the stay. Check-in desk doesn't make sense, would rather have a real lobby. Hyatt options are limited at this price point (it's either Andaz at $300-$500 or PHNYC at $700+)

    My boyfriend and I absolutely LOVED our stay here while we were in the city in early December. It's located right across the street from the New York Public Library and we were able to easily get to the subway/train station. The staff here were so welcoming and helpful. The room was clean and wonderfully spacious. A nice perk was that the snacks and non-alcoholic drinks in the mini fridge are free and refilled daily. For my fellow beverage goblins: - They serve free wine from 5-8PM daily downstairs. - They also have water (still and sparkling) available downstairs AND they're not in plastic bottles (YAY for environmentally friendly efforts)

    A fantastic hotel located across Bryant Park and the NYC public library. The main entrance and valet parking ($62 overnight with no in and out privileges) is located on 41st street. Service was great. Rooms are so nice and we really loved the bed, huge TV by the bed and the well appointed bathroom. Even the snacks and non-alcoholic drinks in the mini bar is included and they refill it daily. It's a great location- about a ten minute walk to Times Square and Koreatown. Grand Central is only a few blocks away. They also provide coffee in the lobby lounge and a wine social hour at 6 PM daily. A great Hyatt hotel. This one and the Hyatt Centric in Times Square are my favorite Hyatt properties in NYC.

    My friend and I were around Bryant Park and the library looking for a place to grab an early bite. We came across Andaz, which I think I know of in a different location. The restaurant/bar is downstairs, so it's like descending into a cave. I liked the look and atmosphere of Andaz. The cocktails are a bit high although my friend did get a generously-sized Old Fashioned. I liked that you can order less than a full glass of wine. I wanted a taste, but not a full glass so the 3 oz option is very welcome. The thick fries were excellent. We finished the entire thing. My lamb flat bread was artfully presented and I liked all the different colour and flavours. The pomegranate seeds on top were a nice touch. A great discovery in midtown!

    Had a wonderful stay at the Andaz. I'm a globalist and this is my first time staying at an Andaz. I was pleasantly surprised. The hotel was beautiful and very well maintained. The service was 5 stars. The complimentary non alcoholic drinks 24 hours was amazing and so appreciated. The room was comfortable and bed was very soft (if you like that). The bathroom amenities were also great. There's even a foot wash basin which is great after a day of walking. I get free parking with my status but it would have been $85. It does take 20-30 min for them to retrieve your car but they tell you that at check in to call ahead. You do hear the frequent sirens from the street below (I was on the 10th floor). I would give it 4.5 stars because the valet curb is really hard to get to with the way the one way streets run and the front area on 5th is under construction but other than that once we were in, we had a great stay.

    This is my favorite hotel in midtown. Andaz does a great job overall and service-wise, this one is my favorite compared to the other locations. The rooms were great and the little touches like the snacks go a long way but the customer service is what makes this Andaz stand out. The location is fantastic too.

    See all

Friends thought we were a lil crazy for bringing two kids to Manhattan, but it ended up being such a special trip for us, and the Park Hyatt was a huge part of that. The hotel is beautiful, from the gorgeous floral arrangements throughout the property to the calm, elegant atmosphere. Our room was incredibly spacious, which felt like a true luxury in New York, especially with a stroller, luggage, SNOO and everything that comes with traveling with a newborn. Having that extra space made the entire trip feel easier. One of our favorite parts of the stay was the indoor pool. We took the boys swimming almost every night, and it became our little ritual. They loved it, and those evening swims are still some of my favorite memories from that trip. The location was perfect for a family stay. We walked to Central Park, FAO Schwarz, Fifth Avenue, Rockefeller Center, Columbus Circle, and so many nearby restaurants, coffee shops, and stores. Being able to explore for a few hours, come back to the hotel to rest, and then head back out again made New York feel surprisingly easy. Now, two years later, our boys are older and we're planning another New York trip. I've been looking at hotels, but I keep coming back to the Park Hyatt because of how special that first stay was for our family. It would be pretty amazing to bring the boys back, let them swim in that pool again, and experience the hotel at a different stage of their childhood. The Park Hyatt will always have a special place in our family's New York memories.

I had booked the majority of my trip at another hotel, but I needed an extra night and used Marriott points for this stay. Overall, I thought it was a great place to stay. The location was very central, but it was not in the most crowded part of Times Square which I appreciated. It was a little hard to find at first because of nearby construction, but once I arrived, everything felt convenient and easy to access. The staff was relaxed, friendly, and helpful during check-in. I arrived around 1:00 PM, and my room was not ready yet, but once it was available, staff members were helping guests check in using the computers. The hotel has a very modern, tech-forward feel. The room included an iPad that controlled the lights, colors, and other settings, which gave the space a futuristic vibe. The room itself was very clean and felt pretty spacious for a New York hotel. The sheets and bathroom were clean, and I felt like I had everything I needed for a short stay. I also felt like it was a good value. I used about 58,000 Marriott Bonvoy points for the night, and New York hotels can easily run anywhere from about $200 to $500 per night depending on the date. Since I stayed on a weekday, that may have helped with the overall value. The next day, relocating to my other hotel was simple because the area was so central. As a Gold member, I also received late checkout, although I ended up leaving earlier than I needed to. The only thing that stood out was hearing another guest complain about the staff, which surprised me because my own experience had been very positive.

For this Marriott the location is excellent if you are going to watch a show on Broadway. Very convenient for the play and also get a subway to anywhere else you have to go. The rooms are generally very nice and this hotel also has everything connected and controlled through a tablet which is very appealing to me. They also have a nice bar right in the hotel that is open till late. The only downside is the size. Now hotels in major cities like this like New York or Tokyo are small and pricey. Two things that can sort of negatively affect your opinion but considering they are all like that in the area, you have to compare accordingly. The only real downside for me is that the toilet is literally next to to the shower to the point that you could shower while using the toilet (I took a picture of my hand holding the shower handle on top of the toilet seat as a joke) and the sink is outside to wash your hands after using the restroom. I feel that they could have done a better design for this to avoid it. It didn't appeal to me and it's the only thing keeping me from giving this hotel 5 stars. I will probably stay here again when I go to watch another play.

You enter on the first floor, but the lobby is on the sixth floor. I was having flashbacks to Tokyo... There are four elevators, and when I checked in, the place was packed. Some event must have been going on because getting an elevator was an adventure (a sad one). It didn't help that everyone had to take an elevator just to reach the lobby, then another to get to their room. Fortunately, I was only on the ninth floor...so I got my steps in. The room itself was mostly ok. One thing I really didn't like was the air conditioning. It wouldn't cool below 68 degrees. I despise hotels that throttle the A/C. I'd get warm, the air would finally kick on, I'd be comfortable for about ten minutes...then the cycle would repeat all night. Another thing that caught me off guard was the ceiling. Maybe they're going for an industrial look, but it was basically unfinished concrete.

The historic charm and association with cultural icons of art and music seems disjointed from its current realty as an overpriced and underwhelming "luxury" Manhattan hotel. It felt like staying at one of those big amusement park all-star music resorts, or a sort of mausoleum to a long-gone New York. The room was basic, loud, uncomfortable, and nearly $1k. It's not actually in the middle of any of the fun things going on in Chelsea and still a walk aways from any of the classic attractions like Chelsea Market, the High Line, etc. I have no idea why anyone would choose to stay here. I will not be doing so again and wish I didn't in the first place.

    As a librarian, you know I had to stay here…read more I went in fully expecting a fun, book-themed hotel and secretly wondering if it might be a little gimmicky. I was so happy to be wrong. The Library Hotel is every bit as charming as people say, but what really makes it special is the team. I arrived by car while the building was hidden behind scaffolding, and the front desk was incredibly kind and patient, helping guide me to the loading area so I didn't spend my afternoon circling the block. Housekeeping was so gracious and helpful throughout my stay, the bartender at Bookmarks very kindly helped my friend carry our drinks down to the room, and checkout took less than 30 seconds. Every interaction was warm, thoughtful, and genuinely welcoming. The themed rooms are such a fun touch (I loved seeing how each one was inspired by a different subject), but I also have to give a shout-out to the practical things. I took a few work video calls from my room on the 12th floor, and the Wi-Fi was ridiculously good - honestly stronger than the Wi-Fi in my own house when I'm sitting five feet from the modem. Not a second of lag. The TV also had a ton of premium channels, which was such a fun surprise after long days exploring the city. And finally, a standing ovation for the real MVP: the air conditioning. New York was basically a sauna while I was there, and every time I walked back into my room I was greeted by the most glorious arctic blast. It was so good that my friends ended up wanting to hang out in my room and order dinner instead of going back out into the heat. Perfect stay from beginning to end. I can't wait to come back.

    I used to love this hotel but it needs some upgrades and a refresh. It's becoming a bit run down…read moreand outdated. The last two rooms I have stayed in have had tearing or broken shades, dirty carpets, and worn down bathrooms. Also, getting a cab is a pain and the bellmen are not that helpful. Last time I had to take matters into my own hands and get one myself. Annoying. I'm also not 100% sure this is the most secure hotel at night.

    This is a bustling hotel with a large lobby. I visited for a conference. The hotel has a couple of…read moreexits, but the main entrance is on 6th avenue. All the meeting rooms were clean and organized. We had over 1,000 conference attendees and needed ample space and everything went pretty smoothly. Temperature control was generally good, but got a tiny bit chilly at certain points of the day. The staff were extremely prompt with setting up and removing catering food, but were not the friendliest. They have a free standing pumping station for those that need it. It was easy to access and decently clean, but could've used a wipe down by the second day. They provided a mini fridge in one of the meeting rooms for storage.

    AVOID AVOID AVOID! DO NOT BOOK HERE!…read more I came here around April for a work trip and no where on the reservation page did it say that the hotel was under construction. They also offered the price including breakfast. Arrived at the hotel and saw that they only had one working elevator for a hotel that was over 20 floors high. There was a line for the elevator that you had to wait for at least 20 minutes to take. I asked the about the breakfast and they said the restaurant was closed so no hot breakfast. Why is this hotel offering a room rate price with breakfast when there is no restaurant for breakfast?! They told me they had bagged breakfast, which was always gone and coffee was all gone too. Took over 10 minutes to wait for new coffee to arrive. Renovation work bright and early at 8am. I was offered loyalty points for compensation by the manager, Delanie, and these points never showed up. I was also mistakenly charged for drinking their water bottles when I didn't even touch those bottles. They never even told me that I was going to be charged after checking out. I just saw a random extra charge on my credit card. The manager, Delanie, had said this would be refunded, but never saw this refund come through just like the loyalty points.
