The hotel

Fancy staying somewhere that has been the home to a number of several Hollywood celebrities, most notably Marilyn Monrow? Look no further. A hote that has heaps of history, jazz-inspired decoration, and a central location to suit all New York visitors - the Lexington dates back to 1929, and the marble lobby may have been modernized, but it's all got it's original structure. Here you're just a stones throw from the glitzy shops of 5th Avenue, and even closer to the iconic Grand Central Station. From Standard Rooms to more spacious suites, you'll be comfortable whichever you opt for. and with Starbucks coffee available in the lobby, and a classic cocktail list at the Stayton, you'll not go thirsty whilst you're here either.

Our stay was fabulous. Nicole greeted us with simlle as we checkd in, and was extremely helpful thorough out stay. Our room was awesome, included a delicious breakfast and we stopped in the bar after a show and the staff was delightful. We travel often, and this is for sure the go to in NYC. Highly recommend!

Great location and good price for Midtown Manhattan. The lobby had a great bar area and comfortable seating. Would definitely stay again. One quibble - there was a radiator in our room that we wished we could have turned off b/c it got a little warm.

I have just returned from a 4 night stay at this hotel and to be quite frank it didn’t start well. As I was checking in the receptionist who was super polite looked at my room allocation and commented “oh my they put you in there.” She tried to move me but there was nothing else available. So I reluctantly made my way up to the room. It was so small I struggled to find space to unpack my case. The bathroom was so tight it was almost unusable. The quality of the room was dated and in desperate need of repair including the very worn enamel on the very small bath tub. Now I would have accepted this if I was paying for a budget hotel. But the cost was over $2000 for the 4 nights! I visited reception and explained how unhappy I was. Miraculously a much larger room was then found on the 25th floor and an apology given for being provided such a substandard room given the price I was paying. The mattress was extremely comfortable on the bed. However the duvet was some sort of weird plastic item with a sheet wrapped around it. The shower holder in the bathroom broke after my first shower and despite reporting it was not repaired during my whole stay. Breakfast on 2 of the 4 days consisted of being provided with plastic cutlery which was no use for cutting or picking up the very crispy bacon. As for the variety of food on offer, it was limited. Especially given the amount charged for rooms. The final insult was that despite the room having been paid for in advance by my company travel agents, my incidentals card was recharged the room rate as a hold every single night. The transactions are still on mine and my colleagues cards as holds despite multiple attempts whilst at the hotel to resolve this. Keep clear of this place! An absolute waste of money and the worst experience I’ve ever had in NYC. Read less

Philyppe was delightful and very helpful to us frenchies. My mom and I got upgraded to a room with two beds instead of the initial one we had booked without us asking for it. Our stay in the hotel was lovely and the room was very nice. The location of the hotel was perfect for the activities we had planned.
