Lotte New York Palace

Midtown, New York

Virgin rating

The hotel

Railroad magnate Henry Villard's 19th-century mansions were combined with a sleek tower to create one of the city's best hotels. It's a place where the staff greet you as if they have known you all their lives, and nothing is too much trouble. The location is one of the best in Manhattan, right in the middle of Midtown, but hidden away in a gated courtyard. There's dining options suited to all at the Lotte New York Palace, from luxury brunch to baked goods, whatever you opt for you'll be in for a treat. Enjoy handmade cocktails in one of Manhattan's most popular bars, Trouble's Trust, or relax in 19th century-style surroundings in Rarities - either make for the perfect post-day-in-the-city tipples.

I have stayed in NY several times. Decided to try the Lotte. I would of rather stayed in a Motel 8 then this hotel. Bed was broken which fell on deaf ears. Also when I checked in, they said 24 hour room service which closed at 10pm. No toilet paper in the room. Rooms were extremely dirty. Bad experience all together for the price I was paying.

Lotte New York Palace is beautiful, historic, offers fantastic service and has a great location in NYC. Having breakfast in the Villard Room is an experience unto itself. The elegance of the room makes you feel like royalty. And the food we had was superb. The hotel rooms are huge, beds are comfortable, and the bathrooms are well appointed and spacious. We stayed on the 38th floor and had a nice view of NYC. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. Simply fantastic. We'll be back on a regular basis. Read less

The Lotte is my favorite place to stay in NYC. Great location, staff, history and lovely Towers rooms. It is ideal for Broadway shows, shopping and dining. Love that it offers so much without the fray and noise of Times Square. They offer a house Maybach car if you are staying in the Towers.
