Business Hotels in Upper West Side

Clean room. Kind Staff. Good breakfast.

The Empire is my favorite hotel in New York. It's a grand dame, so not new and spiffy, but the rooms are well-maintained and I find the bedding terric. In New York, the Empire is a bargain, but it's so much more. The location is outstanding at Lincoln Center surrounded by restaurants and cultural institutions, and it's on the #1 subway. Taxis and Ubers also very easily available. I don't worry about not having a coffee maker in the room. There is a Starbucks a few steps from the front door; a great bakery (Breads) across the street (Broadway), and additional options up and down Broadway. People, you're in New York! I love the free bottles of water. Pasquale at the front desk has been especially kind, but all the front desk staff and doormen seem extremely helpful.

We stayed here three nights in May. We had reserved the Deluxe Room, 1 King Bed (Broadway View). The room was spacious and well appointed. The bed was comfortable, it had three chairs to sit on, the bathroom was large (and had a window). We were very satisfied. Everyone at the hotel was very friendly and professional. Even the housekeeping staff greeting me every time I walked by them. The lobby is buzzing with activity with a coffee bar and lounge areas. After many trips to NYC staying in Midtown or Lower Manhattan, we opted this time to try out the UWS. So glad we did! The hotel was in a perfect location and we will definitely stay there next time we're back in NYC.
