It's Starwood so I wondered..."like a W, a Westin, a Sheraton?" None of those actually. And that's just fine. This hotel had great "bones" in its cross between old and new worlds. Gorgeous views of Central Park (ask for Tower Rooms). Capable and quietly elegant, but with some age wrinkles showing. The pool on the top floor seems a bit... More

Even though we live in NY, we really enjoyed our "stay-cation" at the Parker Meridian. It was great to be mid-town and do "touristy" things and stay in a really nice hotel. Food was great - Burger Joint and room service for dinner and Norma's for breakfast. Hotel is super kid-friendly - even the elevators have cartoons playing. Really fun... More

The Parker Meridian is a very good place to stay with children in NYC. Our daughters enjoyed the coloring books and crayons they were given when we checked in, as well as watching enjoyable, old cartoons in the elevators. The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. Our room was comfortable, but slightly outdated. The pool and the view from... More

New York hotels are pretty expensive and can vary somewhat in quality. Le Parker Meridien is a good all round reliable hotel - not particularly special but it has a lot of things going for it. The location is very convenient, a block from Central Park and not far from the subway. The room size is decent though the bathroom... More

Over the years I have stayed at many NYC hotels. Most are overrated! The Parker Meridian is a gem. Great value. Excellent guest relations - especially Lisa, Lawrence and the front desk team! And they are completing a renovation of the gym. Well located with access on both 56th and 57th makes it easy to head any direction. I highly... More

I've been staying at this hotel for years and it just gets better and better. The rooms are large, comfortable and quiet, the staff is friendly and helpful and it is centrally located to everywhere I need to be when in Manhattan on business. More

Our first time, and a great experience. Nothing whatsoever to fault - clean as a whistle, friendly staff (from front desk to pool attendants), in the middle of everything location-wise, nice breakfast, nice bar (The Vault). Be sure to go to the pool for the view - Central Park is lovely from that altitude! More

I've enjoyed staying here for years - the rooms are nice, the staff is very helpful, the Burger Joint on ground level is really good, and a Norma's breakfast is fun and delicious. The pool on the roof is very nice, though they've now introduced a fee for it - makes me uncertain about using it. More

Victoria Barr at the Parker in New York was wonderful to work with. The entire staff did a great job and the Burger Joint is an added plus. Location was ideal for our trip. It was close to subways, Central Park and easy to get around. The eclectic hotel had a nice vibe. We would come there again! More
