“Empire Hotel”

Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW

When we first walked in I thought we were in an old creepy museum. It's very dark and dreary. The rooms, on the other hand, we nice. The beds were comfortable, and the room was clean. The shower didn't have doors, and they were skimpy with their towels. No bath mat either. The water ran all over the floor. The... More

“Great stay and location”

This hotel is perfectly located near Columbus Circle, away from all the Times Square nuttiness but close to everything. I'm a runner and love to be so close to Central Park. Subway was close by so getting around NYC is super easy from this hotel. Rooms are small, but that is normal in NYC. This was for a business trip... More

“Great Location, Horrible Hotel”

Reviewed 19 May 2013 NEW

After changing rooms from a small dungeon to a junior suite I wish I could tell you the upgrade was worth it. Small king bedded room faced walls...that is a no no. The suite had space, small bathroom, phone did not work in room which we never knew until time to order breakfast and the car. My husband ran out... More

“Great location but poor service”

Reviewed 18 May 2013 NEW via mobile

I was at the hotel on a long business trip. Location is great, just near Lincoln center. But my first impression was awful. The room was not ready on check-in time, I waited about a half of hour at lobby. Then I saw the room - it was tiny, with a window to the internal courtyard, with only two meters... More

“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”

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

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
