Hilton New York

I stayed here for a work trip in December. The rooms are decently sized with comfortable beds, plenty of storage, excellent TVs, and comfortable places to sit and relax after a long day at work. The hotel gym is huge and pretty well equipped. Concierge lounge food is pretty average, but the options at herb and kitchen that you get via the resort fee are really good. The bridges bar was absolutely mobbed when I was there, so the lobby bar may be a better place to escape the crowds. The location is great for both work trips and pleasure trips, with plenty of subway connectivity to all of Manhattan within a short walk of the hotel. One major thing to be mindful of - when I stayed I could not place an herb and kitchen room service order for the next morning for breakfast in the same way I could at most full service hotels. This was a bit of a disappointment from a hotel that in many ways feels like the mid century modern equivalent of the Waldorf. All in all though this is a good hotel for business or pleasure. In particular, you get great value for your Hilton points here.

We came to New York with our 4 children, ranging from 1 years old - 12 years old. So pleased with our choice of hotel. Location was perfect - having 4 children and being close to Central Park was great as we started the days by popping to a local Blue Bottle Coffee then for a run in the park! The room was better than I expected - stayed in New York about 14 years ago and I remember although the hotel we stayed in was fantastic the rooms were small. But we had a suite and the 2 rooms really helped give everyone the space we needed. The continental breakfast was good to start the day - always lots of choice & even when it was clearly busy it wasn’t noticeable. This is the only time we really interacted with staff and they were really helpful and friendly. I’d definitely stay here again!
