One of our top picks in New York.This Manhattan hotel is 250 feet from the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. Central Park is 550 feet from the Empire Hotel. It features a seasonal rooftop outdoor pool, cabanas, and 2 restaurants.

The modern rooms at the Empire Hotel are decorated in earthy tones and equipped with a flat-screen TV and an iPod docking station. Guests will find a full mini-bar in every room and a glass-enclosed shower with a rain shower head in the bathroom.

The seasonal rooftop plunge pool is surrounded by a sun deck with large lounge chairs providing panoramic views of New York City. Food and drink at the Pool Deck is also available.

The Lobby Bar offers an intimate lounge atmosphere, serving tapas and drinks, while the Rooftop Bar & Lounge is located on the twelfth floor and features views of Lincoln Center.

Times Square is 0.9 mi from the Empire Hotel. The Museum of Arts and Design is 1,600 feet away.

Upper West Side is a great choice for travelers interested in museums, culture and walking.

Hotel was nice but overall had higher expectations. Lobby was small and not as pictured and the lighting in the room made me and my partner want to fall asleep by 6 o’clock. Terrible for doing make up as well. Overall nice hotel but not worth the money plenty of other places nicer than here.

“Convenient!”

There wasn't anything I didn't like. Maybe the 5 dollar fiji water on the nightstand that I almost opened before I saw the tag LOL. I already knew what to expect from reviews.
The location! We booked the closest most reasonably priced hotel we could in NYC to see the Live with Kelly and Ryan show (which was a 3 minute walk by the way!) and 20 minute walk to Times Square. We parked at ICON parking conveniently around the corner (and only $55 for 24 hour parking, not bad!) The room was small as to be expected but my husband and I were there without the kids and only for a night so it was perfect. There is a charge for anything that you open in the room (mini bar, snacks, water, even had a charger for a fee in case you forget yours) but there was a list of prices for everything as well. We made use of the mini bar as we didn't expect but it was convenient. We don't really get to treat ourselves that often so we didn't mind the charge! Someone had mentioned that there was a fee for the wifi which we expected to pay but to our surprise there was complimentary wifi included upon check in. I did not find the rooms to be dirty as some people had mentioned, just well loved, lol. If you want a nice view then I suppose you can request that when you book. Our view was the side of a brick building on the 6th floor but we didn't care as we weren't there to stay in our room all day! Definitely pleased with our stay at Empire Hotel and will probably book again on our next trip to the city.

Staff were surly. They are taught to ask "Who did you speak to?" when responding to the fact our requests went unheard. I will not stay here again as a result of hotel management.
Once we were in the room we originally booked, it was spacious with a great view over Lincoln Center. The initial room they presented us was cramped and unappealing, esp the bathroom.
