    My workplace has their annual holiday luncheon here in the Peacock room. It is a very beautiful building that used to belong to Williams college before they sold it and it turned into a hotel. The staff were very hospitable and friendly. We had a special menu with a few selections for appetizer, main, and dessert. I have no idea what the prices are like unfortunately but I imagine it is pricey. The food was delicious however! I started wth the celeriac and chestnut soup since it was rather cold that day. This was very warming and unique. It may be a seasonal soup since it is the holiday season. For my main I had the Scottish salmon. This was also very good! The salmon was perfectly cooked and the sauce was amazing. I liked that it came with a small salad, but one other veggie would have been nice, like small potatoes or carrots. For my dessert I had the plum pudding. Now this is definitely a seasonal dish and very British since it is not really a "pudding" in the American sense. This is really a small cake with lots of raisins in it. I don't know if there was plum at all but the rum sauce on top really brought it together. Very sweet though! Overall I would definitely recommend this space for any private dinners or events. Our table held around 25 people but I heard they can fit in more with different layouts.

    Better than expected. Nice and cozy, hip spot in the cut. Reasonably priced. Good use of space. Truth in advertising. I'll come again.

    The most beautiful boutique hotel in NYC. I was able to get an incredible deal for several nights on Hotel Tonight literally minutes after walking out of the awful Pod 39 hotel, a block or so away. I got a beautiful large (so rare for NYC) stylish and quiet room, amazing decor, very comfortable bed, giant bathroom with rain shower, nice linens and toiletries Nespresso machine. The only drawback it's in a brownstone, so I had to drag my suitcase up and down the front steps. I don't think they have room service - usually a must for me, but this time it didn't matter. They do have a restaurant on site, had a nice meal there.

Our room was on the 14th floor and was somehow sheltered from the bustling noise of traffic and honking horns. The amenities in our room were wonderful.

From the…read moremoment we arrived, it felt less like checking into a hotel and more like family welcoming us into a beautifully curated home in the heart of the city. Traveling during the holidays can be hectic, but the staff at the Park Hyatt made everything feel effortless. Every interaction -- from the front desk to housekeeping to the concierge -- was filled with genuine kindness, patience, and warmth. It was clear they weren't just doing their jobs; they truly cared about making our holiday special. The hotel itself is stunningly elegant yet incredibly comfortable. After long walks through Central Park, returning to our room felt like stepping into a peaceful retreat. The spaciousness, thoughtful details, and quiet luxury made it easy for our family to relax, laugh, and simply be together -- which is what the holidays are really about. We had our first breakfast in New York at the hotel's "the living room" which is located in the lobby. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful with modern decor and stunning 30 foot ceilings. We arrived at 7am as the restaurant just opened and Kamil greeted us with a warm genuine smile. We've stayed at 5 different Park Hyatts in the past 5 years (Kyoto being the most recent) and no one has made us feel as special as Kamil. He has the unique gift of hospitality. He went out of his way to treat us like family and made us feel very special. All of his small gestures, friendly smiles, and thoughtful attention to detail, turned simple moments into special memories. During a season meant for connection and joy, the Park Hyatt delivered both in abundance. Spending Christmas in New York is always special, but spending it at the Park Hyatt New York elevated the experience beyond anything we could have imagined. Our days were spent with full hearts, lasting memories, and deep gratitude for a team that understands true hospitality. This is a place we will return to -- not just for the luxury, but for the people who made us feel so genuinely at home during the most meaningful time of year.

It was not noisy and we had no complaints. Our suite was so spacious and there was so much space for our toddler to run around. She loved building a fort with the sofa cushions. We loved our spacious dining table. We requested for a microwave and they brought one up. They have a Toto toilet which made us soooo happy. They have black out curtains so we had good sleep. Their mini fridge is spacious and they gave us 8 waters. We got to watch people working across the street. They had a business center in the lobby, you just have to ask the reception area and they will set up the keyboard and mouse. It was a very nice stay, definitely recommend. Staff was friendly and very responsive in the app. Will stay again.

The bed was actually really comfy for a hotel bed. We loved the Toto bidet toilet and the huge walk-in shower. The TV was gigantic. Big closet for extra storage. The under bed storage was great too. The black out automatic curtains were super cool. The fridge was spacious and there was a coffee maker too. The only thing that was weird were the light switches. There were 2 different switches and it was confusing to figure out what controlled what. The staff were very friendly. They were able to get us into our room early and they let us check out late. They always greeted us when we got back to the hotel room throughout the day. Plenty of food options nearby. Would absolutely stay here next time we're in NYC.

    We stayed here over Memorial Day weekend. Overall the hotel is decent -- our room was new and…read moreclean, though like pretty much every hotel in Manhattan, it's on the smaller side. One thing to note: the hotel sits right above a sports bar, so it can get noisy when there's a game on. The gym was a low point. The hotel shares its fitness facility with a Planet Fitness, which feels out of place for a mid-tier Marriott -- not quite what you'd expect from the brand.

    Prime location! Modern, spacious rooms (for the city)!…read more The elevators though.... Oy. I stayed at this hotel over the New Years holiday and was thrilled to be so close to Madison Square Garden and Times Square. As was expected, check in was a bit chaotic given the time of year. The ground floor entrance was PACKED with luggage on first arrival. After weaving our way through, we located the check-in desk on the 5th or 6th floor. Tons of people but adequate seating to wait for our room to be ready. An upper floor meant having to figure out their dreaded elevator system. It left something to be desired, to say the least. With only 3 elevators that service the whole of the hotel, and a 4th that goes who knows where, it was almost always a lengthy struggle to catch one. No buttons on the interior of the carriage, all elevators were called with a touchscreen device that seemingly tried to pack as many people as possible into one small space, leaving many behind that couldn't fit, before directing the passengers to another elevator to repeat the whole process over again. One day was so bad, it was actually preferable to walk up the stairs to the 14th floor. Woof. The room itself was wonderful. Spacious, with 2 beds. Very clean. Beautiful view of the city and the arena next door. Great way to catch the sun set. Walk in shower with both an overhead and handheld shower attachment. Great lighting. Shower had heavily frosted glass that faced the bedroom area so be prepared for your silhouette to be on full display for anyone you may be rooming with. Nice sized closet, safe, and mini fridge. Big flat screen television. Window shade worked very well to block out the light if you're hoping to sleep in late. Walls can be a bit thin, especially if you have a rowdy bunch of kids right next door as we did. Aside from the elevators, the perks far outweighed the usual peskier elements (e.g., noise,etc.) one encounters when staying away from home. Would stay here again, perhaps during a less busy time of year, if that's even possible.

    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 was excited to stay here anyway, because of course it was on my bucket list, but the stay was so…read morequiet and lovely that I am blown away. I got a petite room since I was traveling alone which I would not recommend for a couple, but for me it was perfect. The bathroom area was the best part and not at all an afterthought. They knew women would be coming and they nailed it, down to the magnifying mirror. Whenever you get to spend time with other book lovers, it's a plus, so I also very much loved being able to talk to people in the common room on the 2nd floor. Often times NYC misses this in their hotels. The books here aren't anything you really want to read so bring your own books but all in all 5+ stars for me!

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.
