Lotte New York Palace

Midtown, New York

Star 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.

Bed is comfy, room is quiet. Professional enough. However, also Super boring, stuffy and old fashioned with a “charge you for everything” squeeze the guest mentality. It is expensive and there are far better hotels in the same price point. It is not a friendly experience and feels sterile.

I really enjoyed my stay at this iconic hotel! It's beautiful and well located - an easy walk to St. Patrick's Cathedral, and walking distance to Times Square area and all the Broadway shows as well. The room was well-appointed, and the bed was very comfortable. I absolutely loved the view of Rockefeller Center from the room. The service was wonderful throughout our stay, which really makes all the difference. I must say a big thank you to Rebecca at the front desk for instantly making us feel welcome. She was so attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. She made our stay at the Lotte New York Palace feel a lot more like home. Thank you, Rebecca! I would stay at this lovely hotel again on our next trip to New York. Read less

The Lotte Palace is a great hotel in New York...perfect location within walking distance to shopping, entertainment, food. We stayed in the Palace and our room was very spacious. Highly recommend a Cathedral view room...the view is worth it! The Gold Room and Rarities are a must stop for a cocktail before or after dinner!
