We stayed here while my son was checking out some local colleges. We enjoyed the proximity to Central Park. The staff at this hotel make you feel welcome in NYC. They are all so friendly, from the bellmen to the waitstaff in the restaurant to the housekeeping ladies that came to tidy up our room. We especially enjoyed speaking with Haque in the restaurant! The rooms are a bit older, but they are well maintained and comfortable. The shower heads in the showers could use an update, but that would really be my only complaint. We enjoyed our short stay.

We stayed here a couple years ago in decmeber 2022. The hotel was beautifully decorated for the holidays. The lounge very relaxing and served great desserts and drinks. Our room looked over central park and was on the 20th floor and striked the perfect balance between modern luxury and old school new york. A cake and handwriten ard was wating for us when we arrived as i was celebrating my birthday. Other facilites like the club lounge, fitness area and spa seemed quite good . Service was very good, but not perfect. Most staff member kindly greeted me and went above and beyond in every way, HOWEVER beware that the front desk can be grouchy and really do not seem to care for the guests AT ALL. They where not actively bad but very cold and sterile and not apoligetic even one bit when our key card stopped working. Doormen where nice, but did not help us with our luggage AT ALL, as they were too focused on the people arriving in the 500,000 dollar car that they had no time for all the other "peasants" staying at the hotel. Very memorable experience and want to give this place another chance to shine in terms of service. Will be back. Read less

Stayed in this hotel a couple of years ago and had a lackluster experience service wise. This time was different. I applied a suite night award to my stay and was surprised to be upgraded to a park view suite. The room was great with 2 bathrooms and very luxe. View was nice too. Service wise, I couldn’t have asked for anything more. I arrived early, checked my bag, and a friend and I had a long lunch at the bar. Service was terrific!! The bartender took great care of us and the food was great. About an hour after getting to my room a knock at the door resulted in a welcome amenity. The housekeeper did a great job with turndown service and they’re very stealth. They come and go and you never lay eyes on them. Calls for ice were prompt. Front desk associates very friendly, acknowledged my elite status, and eager to please, as was everyone I encountered. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay and I’ll be back!! Thanks Ritz Carlton! Read less

I traveled to NY as I often do for business and spent the first half of my stay with another hotel. I wanted to spend the weekend treating myself to a hint of luxury so after much consideration landed on the Ritz Carton. I had never stayed at this property before although I've stayed at other Ritz's globally. First, I was thrilled that they honored my suite night request, which is so rare that I never expect it. As a loyal Bonvoy member for years, this was a special treat and why I work so hard to be loyal to the brand. I was upgraded to a Park View Suite. How magical was this perfect room? I've stayed at many luxury hotels around the world but is one my favorite experiences ever. This room is befitting of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. It is huge, beautifully appointed, luxurious and has a tremendous view. It is bright and airy and was a wonderful refuge in which to escape the heat. The other best part of the stay is the remarkably attentive staff. Everyone is so warm and wonderful and helpful. They make you feel very valued as a guest They went out of their way to attend to my every need. Also, Manny at the bar is outstanding. He is a great conversationalist and gave great attention to me when I was being bothered by a pushy man at the bar. I could see that he was monitoring the situation and was ready to come to my rescue if needed, would not let me put my room number down on my check for safety and followed me out to make sure I was good. It wasn't necessary because I was fine, but I very much appreciated it! I still have two more nights to enjoy here at this luxury oasis and I'm savoring every minute. The only bad part about my stay at the Ritz Carlton Central Park is that it's ruined me for all other New York hotels. So i guess I'll have to return! Read less

Right on the park. Outstanding service from check in to departure. Club level is worth the extra fees. Food is great and staffed by warm and friendly people. Regular rooms are large and well equipped. Third time at this hotel--my go to place for NYC
