My husband and I stayed at the Plaza Athenee in June 2006 for a long weekend. Having stayed at the Plaza Athenee Paris I was expecting the best of the best. Unfortunately, the New York hotel is highly overrated. Our room was shabby and dark with beat up furniture and no view. Our bathroom was tiny with horrible lighting. I... more

This hotel advertised three nights for the price of two. We made a reservation, confirmed by a phone call to the manager. Three days later, our travel agent learned that they cancelled our reservation. They would not even offer the room at full price. They increased the price by $200 per night. I suspect this was a response to the... more

We spent 4 nights in Plaza Athenee and we selected this hotel mainly for its location and because we thought we would need to be spoiled after a long voyage by plane. Our choice was good because indeed you couldn't be in a better spot. The hotel lies in a small street between Central Park and Madison avenue and Lexington... more

We are so glad we found this place - what a treat!!!! The staff was very accommodating and the rooms great. They are under construction right now (adding a spa I believe) but I would still go back.

Good Upper East Side location, large rooms for NY standards, comfortable beds, not very modern but tastefull decor, small bathrooms. Can be a good choice if you get a convenient rate. more

We recently stayed at the Athenee Hotel - the hotel is in a nice location - close to Central Park, staff were very attentive and professional - concierge was very helpful. The room was a little dated but neat and clean. Room was quite small but adequate for our needs. more

I was supposed to stay at the Lowell but since they were full on short notice, they recommended the Plaza Athenee. Rooms were dark, dingy and tiny for a premium price. The service was awful like they didn't even care. Good location in the Upper East Side and the bar was ok. Didn't try the restaurant because the hotel put... more
