Sophisticated Upper West Side hotel near Central Park, Lincoln Center
The rich brown, grey and gold decor accented with animal-print pillows sets a tone of sophistication. Touches such as Frette linens and a cool rooftop bar make this hotel ideal for guests who appreciate luxury without stuffiness. A complimentary fitness center, a salon accessible from the hotel and a seasonal rooftop pool deck are just some of the amenities available to guests.The Empire Hotel Rooms

Great hotel
The Empire Hotel was great. Bars and restaurants in the hotel were outstanding. The only thing is that the shower would drain and it was a walk out shower so it flooded my bathroom and part of my room.

Great stay
My first impression was absolutely a good one. The location was ideal, close but not too close to all the action. The restaurant was a little pricey but worth every penny. I would actually look forward to dinner every night. The cold Seafood platter was out of this world. I would definitely recommend The Empire Hotel to my friends.

Where's maintenance?
I changed rooms 3 times because there was at least two things broken in each one. In the first there was no place to plug in a computer and the desk lamp didn't work. The second had a broken tv and a missing window shade. And Cable service was down (for which they gave me free breakfast buffet ticket). In the last another lamp was broken and the bathroom sink stopper was broken. The doorman saw I was struggling wind and my bags but did nothing to help. I used to love this hotel, but will no longer stay there or recommend it to my friends and business associates.

Great Location, OK Hotel
The Empire Hotel is ideally located next to Lincoln Center, steps away from central Park and a 15 minute walk from 5th Ave shopping. Rooms have been recently upgraded and are fine, with a comfortable bed. Staff is friendly and helpful But this is an old hotel with an old heating and central air system. the room was very warm, and the poor cooling system could not cool it off. Better values in NYC for the price, with newer hotels.

Great location for Lincoln Center
Everything was fine-- staff were nice, usual small room though I have had smaller in NY, not a great view, and bathroom was not as clean as some other hotels but all in all a good solid experience. Less street noise than some other stays elsewhere, too. Very convenient to Lincoln Center and Columbus Circle.

I stayed one day, did not use the amenities really except a good (and costly) room service meal. I was in a ?superior? room (an upgrade) and I found it comfortable and quite large (by NY standards). Not blown away by the hotel but comfortable enough that I would return. Very close to major subways & amenities which is a big plus.

Beautiful in NYC
Everyone was very nice, it had good energy. The room was a good size and I loved the Mezzanine level restaurant that was super bright in contrast to the pleasantly hip and busy lobby. I was disappointed that when they asked if this was my first time in the hotel I got a 2nd floor room w/ no view (you're right by Central Park and Lincoln Center) & as a single woman, near an elevator, but maybe they just weren't thinking about the EXTRA mile. All in all - awesome but could've hit a higher mark.

Good location, overpriced,tiny rooms!!!
Very small room. Quinn bed barely fits in it.The shower is very odd. Does not have a door or anything to protect floor from water pouring out .The air conditioner is cheap as in motel,VERY noisy,but you cannot survive without it. Internet service is $13.00 per day per computer.Hotel did not provide printer,so for businessman it was inconvenient.
