Overall a nice hotel with good quality. Limited reception area where luggages are stocked/accumulated. Very attentive and solution oriented staff especially at the reception and concierge. Moderate size deluxe rooms (ask for a room receiving daylight). Small size bathroom with limited amenities. Small but very cosy bar, entertaining magician show on Mondays...Reserve your taxi if you are travelling in peak... More

Maybe it was AMEX FHR and maybe it was that the PA felt badly that I had such a terrible experience at the Palace NY (that I had to check out after checking in) but, when I arrived, not only was my room ready but I had been upgraded to the penthouse. WOW! Talk about an amazing hotel room! The... More

I've stayed at the Plaza Athenee several times over the past few months since it is part of the AMEX FHR program. Well, the hotel sure is showing its age. Common areas are looking quite worn and shabby, the bar/restaurant is aging (not so gracefully) and the rooms, especially the bathrooms, are very out-dated. That said, the location is right... More

It's certainly a unforgetable experience to spend a classic New York weekend in this charming Hotel. A great mixture between the "savoire vivre" of the french culture and the friendly "customer service" of the Americans makes this Hotel a special Manhattan experience. With a bar than can create very well made drinks and a quiet and personalized service at the... More

Certainly, this is a fine hotel. The decor was done very nicely and tastefully and our room was nice, all marble bathroom, and of a decent enough size. Staff were nice as well. A bit formal and stuffy, but this is par for the course on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. It's somewhat rare to find any guest outside... More

A wonderful place to stay. Boutique style, hidden gem. Perfect location! Classy, safe, quiet, amazing staff. The intimate bar and lovely restaurant are charming and food is very good. Purchased as a package thru Orbitz and saved over $400.00 on the room for 2 nights. This is my second time staying there. I was welcomed back with a plate of... More

Purchased a 2 night stay through Priceline. Hotel was beautiful, service excellent truly befitting a 5 star hotel. Only downside was that the room was small and there was nowhere to put down a cosmetic bag in the washroom but then its New York and space is at a premium

I've never had such a pleasant hotel experience in NYC. Thank you to Jawn and the rest of the warm, smiling, open staff at the Athenee. We made a last minute trip to Manhattan - almost throwing a dart at the map - and really felt like we lucked out with this Upper East Side treasure. Perfect location. Great staff.... More

Stayed only one night with the Mrs, for a weekend "doing the town", From the second we walked up to our departure everything was first-rate.The location couldn't be better, a half block from Central Park, just about at the zoo entrance, on a quiet, pretty street of beautiful UES townhouses. We were greeted with a beaming "Good afternoon" by the... More
