Lotte New York Palace

Midtown, New York

Virgin 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.

Third time in NCY and fabulous 3-night stay at the Lotte this time - the doorman on arrival was very welcoming which was much appreciated after a delayed and very late night flight and check-in straight forward. The hotel is beautiful and very elegant and our skyline view rooms had the most amazing views. The hotel also has a really nice bakery. My daughter and I are Gossip Girl fans so we (along with the rest of the family) enjoyed seeing the Lotte which didn’t disappoint. Another highlight was lovely (if expensive!) drinks in the courtyard. The location is perfect and in the main the staff there work very hard although a few extra little touches such as replenished bottled water in rooms, nightly turn-down service and nicer toiletries would have been appreciated. The hotel’s public areas were busy and full of non-hotel guests - security actively encourage guests to wander freely around the hotel using the public areas for selfies and photo opportunities - we even saw a security guard giving non-guests a private tour. Surely the public areas should be for hotel guests rather than non-paying visitors as is usually the case in 5* hotels. For that reason, we would probably opt to stay somewhere with quieter public areas next time. Read less
