I reserved two rooms for Memorial Day weekend as family was in town. Property is new and excellent condition. Hotel dispenses with extraneous features (lobby area is more like entrances to doorman buildings in NYC), but focuses on what is more important to travelers. Rooms are in excellent condition and furnished well, with a crisp, clean look. Service is excellent.... More

Our stay at Hyatt 48 Lex made for a memorable weekend in NYC. The young staff is well-trained, very helpful and nice. Reception is warm and courteous but also efficient. We liked our room, completely isolated from any outside noise, with a superbly comfortable bed, quality amenities, and a great shower. We really enjoyed the second floor lounge where complimentary...

Took the family here for a Memorial Day overnight in the NYC. We all really liked this hotel, despite a few glitches. First the glitches: I came here with a comped room from a credit-card deal. Upon arrival, I was upgraded to a junior suite (great!), but one with only a king-sized bed (for 4 people, not so great!). We... More

Small reception, great all day lounge access if you want a bit more space and where the staff is extremely friendly, nice modern rooms, and good location. Only one thing, no tea making facility in the room so I had to go to the lounge, otherwise would go back there again.

Hyatt 48 Lex has managed to crack the code in terms of offering an end to end superior New York hotel experience. The concept here is a bit unique - a big brand name but a "boutique" format with just 6-ish rooms per floor with incredibly attentive and friendly staff. Rooms are new and nicely furnished and on the larger... More

We had a spacious studio room whose design was both fashionably modern and highly functional. Everything was spotlessly clean and operational. Among the room features was a mini-bar in which we able to squeeze our own water bottles, two large screen TV's, and a very comfortable king bed. The desk work area was well designed and practical. The in-room safe... More

This is a great hotel. People are correct that the lobby is tiny and unimpressive however how much time do you really spend in a hotel lobby? I'd rather have a bigger room than a huge lobby. My room was a great size and very clean and comfortable. I could control the temperature of the room and make it as... More

Hyatt 48 lex came up far better than expected with a modern almost funky environment, very helpful and attentive staff, reasonable sized rooms which were well furnised and a great location within easing walking distance of times square,...

Stayed at this hotel for one day/night while in New York City to see a play. The lobby is very small and unimpressive, but everything after that was really great. Asked for an early check-in (arrived 10:00 a.m.) and got a room immediately. (Obviously, as this hotel becomes more popular, that perk may not be possible.) The staff was always... More

Stayed one night. Requested early check-in and was in my room by 11 am. Room was small, but comfortable for one. For two, it was crowded. Bathroom was nice. Good bed. Nice bedside lighting. I would have enjoyed sleeping late except we were awakened by the housekeeper knocking on our door early in the morning. The 'do not disturb" sign... More
