“Another great stay”

Reviewed 16 May 2013 NEW

You just can't beat the location. When I travel on business to NYC, I stay at the Empire. I love having a Starbucks, Duane Reade and restaurant right outside the door. I know that if I forget something its only just a few steps away. If you don't mind sleeping on a pullout bed and would prefer some extra space... More

“Bite out of the Big Apple”

Reviewed 15 May 2013 NEW

This was my first trip to the Big Apple in quite some time and the Empire Hotel was nothing but accommodating thanks to Nicole at the front desk. When I arrived I inquired about a room upgrade and Nicole was happy to oblige. I will be sure to stay here next time I'm in NYC and will definitely recommend to... More

“Not my first pick but loved it!”

I am always in New York and usually stay at the Westin in Times Square, but due to high prices my friends and I bid for a room on Priceline and ended up with the Empire. I traveled with 3 of my best friend and we had arrived at the hotel around 12 in the afternoon because of an early... More

“Empire is a winner!”

My stay at the Empire Hotel was perfect in every way. Every amenity I used, every staff person I met, every aspect of our room was excellent. The friendly, accommodating staff and outstanding lobby, coupled with a luxury room with ultra-comfortable bedding and high-end toiletries, made my stay enjoyable. The Empire Hotel has an excellent, unique vibe that makes it... More

“I shall return.”

Reviewed 14 May 2013 NEW

I visit NYC fairly regularly. This was one of my most pleasant hotel experiences. The Empire is attractive, hip, and boutique-y. The room I stayed in was lux and comfortable, the bedding felt cloud-like. I slept very comfortably. The staff was welcoming and efficient from beginning to end. The location is wonderful...a view of the fountain in front of Lincoln... More

“we keep coming back!”

We have stayed at the Empire at least 25-30 times over the past 10 years, and we have never been disappointed. The location is obviously great, just across from the Lincoln Center. But there is much more to it. We are especially pleased with the service from all the categories of staff: always friendly and helpful. The beds are nice... More

“A night at the Met”

This hotel could not be more convenient for a weekend with tickets to see an opera at Lincoln Center. It is so close, I was able to run back to the hotel at intermission to retrieve something and be back in my seat by curtain! The lobby is beautiful, staff were friendly, and the beds very comfortable. The room size... More

“Needs more renovation”

Reviewed 13 May 2013 NEW

The location of this hotel is great, especially if you want to attend a performance at the Lincoln Center which is a stone throw away. Our room was clean but the bathroom was awfully small, no room to move around! The room was an interior room, good size but quite dark with poor ventilation, a musky smell was noticeable. The...

“Location! Location! Location!”

Reviewed 12 May 2013 NEW

In my book, hotels are a lot like real estate, in that Location plays a huge role in the overall experience. Anyone going to mid-town west-side Manhattan could do much worse than a stay at the Empire Hotel on West 63rd street - literally right across the street from Lincoln Center! I had tickets to the Met, including dinner at... More

“good for a quick stay”

Nothing blew me away but nothing disappointed either. The room we had was smaller than expected for a standard but it was sufficient for our purposes We never made it to the rooftop but the lobby bar & lounge area was a cool place to grab a drink before heading out. The location is great for that area of the... More
