The Peninsula is a beautiful hotel. Rooms are roomy, especially by NYC standards. The bed and linens are very comfortable and luxurious. Location is great if you prefer to be close to upscale shopping, a few blocks from Saks, and within walking distance to the theatre. Getting a cab is difficult at 5th and 55th so leave extra time when... More

From customer service, food quality, shockingly awesome rooms, to an atmosphere of opulence - the Peninsula is so far above any competitor that it's almost unfair. For those of us who have stayed in NYC before, we're used to paying a fortune for small crappy hotel rooms. Never more. Booked a Jr. Suite, and they triple-upgraded me to a Suite... More

even before we went, the hotel went above and beyond to assist us with baby equipments such as high chair, bottle warmer, sanitizer, crib, etc. we asked it, they had it. Elena was the one who assisted us with every request i made for our 13month old. traveling with a toddler is stressful but the Peninsula made it easier and... More

We enjoyed very pricey Kir Royale cocktails ($26 each) at this bar before dinner on a Wednesday after work. Very upscale and older crowd in attendance. Excellent, but small, non-smoking outdoor area looking north up Fifth Avenue towards Central Park. Much larger patio area with tables and permitted smoking on the south east side with room for at least 100+... More

Beautiful fancy hotel in NYC! Marble bathroom, our room was large with two queen beds. View was good of trump tower. We were on the 12th floor. Walking distance to bergdorfs, fao Schwartz, the plaza hotel and many beautiful stores, not to mention Central Park.

This is a great hotel right on 5th Avenue very close to Versaci, Armani, Harry Winston, etc. it is located in the high end shopping Mecca of NYC so it's great if you want to shop. I stayed in their largest king room and it was clean, spacious, and well appointed. New York City hotels are usually quite cramped due... More

We had spa package in the hotel after reading that this is no. 1 place. The spa is clean and plush. Massage is well done and with a flair of Chinese and Tai influence. We got their signature package in a suite. Food is included which is average. The man's room is nicely equipped. And people are very helpful and... More

Stayed there for 5 nights, 1000 usd per night, small room with almost no daylight. Two out of three restaurants were closed for renovation, although hotel website mentioned that only one restaurant was being renovated. Personnel quite friendly, but reception desk not very professional. Gotham Lounge staff snobby. Location beats all negative points.

The hotel is conveniently located on 55th Street West and 5th avenue, within walking distance to all the mid-town department stores, Saks, Bertdorf Goodman and Central Park. The hotel is a bit aged (the lifts are those from the late 1980’s) and the rooms and furniture may need a little bit of touching up. Nonetheless the rooms are quite spacious,... More
