If you want a midtown location, this is definitely that. Area is rather dry on teh weekends, with little eating options, and not great for kids, but it's central. Hotel is fine: nothing too showy or spectacular, but good sized rooms for NYC. Maid service was slow -- really slow-- but they were so nice. Remembered my daughter's name every morning! The staff in general really went out of their way to say hello and see if you needed help.

We are going back her in December for our third visit. Why? To us it is perfection so why change.. The suites are bright and cheerful, comfortable, have wonderful views and the bathrooms are highly appointed.
Every member of staff is helpful & friendly and go above and beyond expectations. The food is a delight and I look forward to be welcomed back.

Have stayed at the Palace Hotel many times and it never disappoints. Just stayed the past week and will go back next month. Why go out for dinner when you have one of the finest restaurants in the city in the hotel(Gilt).

Is one of the best locations in New York city. The rooms are great, clean, excelent views if you get a good floor, good restaurant, great service in general. On the back of St Patrick´s Church.
One block from the Fifth Avenue.
