Great hotel. I saw the reviews on Trip Advisor which is why we booked, but we fell in love. Location is absolutely perfect. Staff is great. The wine and cheese in the evening is simply "lovely". Can't wait to go back.

Great location excellent service from the front desk and doormen/bellhops if necessary and a 'club room' that serves breakfast and evening wine and cheese help make Hotel Elysee first rate

We booked this hotel based on Tripadvisor reviews and some friends who had stayed at the sister Hotel Giraffe. We were not disappointed, in fact we were very pleased we had chosen the Elysee. It is a small boutique hotel with 15 floors based on a classic French theme. Many reviews here praise the complimentary breakfast - and so they... More

For many years, when I visited Manhattan, I stayed with my grandmother on the Upper East Side. She lived in a full floor, pre-war cooperative that was as elegant and gracious as it was comfortable and welcoming. She had a staff who managed her home, and doormen who knew every one of the relatives by name. And yes, I knew... More

We stayed here for 2 weeks with our three teenage children and found it ideal. What a great location. We had adjoining rooms with a lovely lounge room (with a sofa bed) between the 2 bedrooms. The rooms are tastefully furnished, comfy beds, plenty of storage and an added benefit of being able to open the window for fresh air!... More

We visited the Hotel Elysee on our trip to New York beginning of May. It is lovely! The rooms are spacious and well furnished. It looks like a grand hotel. One of the best thing: Free breakfast and free wine and cheese reception in the late afternoon. Great location, many sightseeings in walking distance. Absolutely perfect service and very nice...

Stayed here for a long weekend to celebrate getting my masters degree. I told the hotel ahead of time that we were celebrating and there was complimentary champagne and chocolates waiting for us. Complimentary breakfast each morning included fresh fruit, yogurt,, cereal, pastries, bagels, and hard boiled eggs. Coffee, tea, fruit and cookies were available around the clock. Convenient location... More

My wife and I stay at Elysee 2-3 times a year for a 24 hour battery charger. The staff and service set this hotel apart from every other hotel in New York. Yes, it's small but that's its charm. Sure, there's some noise but I've never experienced a quiet hotel in NYC. Location is perfect. We love the morning breakfast... More

The Élysée is well located and the staff could not be more attentive and helpful. The rooms are very large for the price and location, but the bathrooms are for the undersized. This is a very old hotel with one elevator so bring your sneakers and do the stairs. Also do not use more than one electrical outlet at a... More
