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. The restaurant was good and not very busy. Located on 64th Street right off Madison Avenue it is a perfect location for... more

we stayed at the plaza athenee for five days around new year's eve and felt very much at home. though the design is not exactly our favourite (we usually stay at the funkier gramercy park hotel), we loved the friendliness and the commitment of the staff (only exception the doormen). due to a misunderstanding we were first given a room... 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

We've come to really like the Plaza Athenee on East 64th. Though the price is steep--isn't everywhere in New York?--we feel like we're in an intimate European hotel from the minute we arrive. There is an almost residential feel about the place, and staff is attentive. We love the cozy bar off the lobby (great menu for light meals and... more
