“Location,location,location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 18, 2013

I am reluctant to review this great hotel because I know it will become busy and maybe we will be unable to get a reservation.Oh well, I guess I will take that chance.My wife chose it because it was close to shopping.Every day for five days she left in the morning and I didn't see her until after 6 pm laden with packages.I visited museuems,churches and other NYC landmarks.(I took the subway once and that was totally entertaining)Almost everything we wanted to see and do was located within walking distance even Broadway was only a 15 minute walk.in addition to a great location the hotel itself offered many comforts that made our stay very memorable.The staff are warm and very hospitable.(We had a minor problem in our room and it was fixed within 30 minutes).A lounge on the second floor serves a very good continental breakfast with Wi Fi and a selection of daily newspapers.I felt at home.The rooms are retro,maybe the 30''s or 50's style with enough space to move.I prefer a warm maybe dated atmosphre to the ultra modern soulless sterility of most modern hotel rooms.by the way attached to the hotel is the famous Monkey Bar where the characters from SEX in the City went to have their Bellinis.Men bring your love here for a few days, you will love it.

Room Tip: it is quiet throughout ,if you coose a room that isn't suitable ask the staff.

“Excellent value, traditional service, not the standard NY business hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013

Persuaded to come here by Trip Advisor ratings...and a good call. Old fashioned careful service: within two days they remembered our name at the front desk. Lovely old fashioned bar and restaurant. Rooms decent, perhaps a bit tired, but a first rate location, very helpful staff, very good pricing, excellent concierge service (we got almost every booking we wanted) and quiet rooms at the back. For a family trip/celebration, this was very decent choice and I would use it for business as well. Negatives...just one elevator and only one PC for public use, plus need for a bit of redecoration sometime . Positives: location, charm, price, super service, atmosphere. The guests socialise with free cocktails and snacks at the Clubroom giving this hotel a special atmosphere.

Room Tip: Suites at the back, higher floors to avoid aircon noise.

“Nice surprise!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013

Thank you tripadvisor contributors for your suggestion! I reserved a Deluxe King Room and was not disapointed at all. From the moment we, my husband and I, stepped into the hall, we were greeted by efficient and affable personnel. We stayed 4 nights and enjoyed everything: breakfast in the lounge, the late afternoon wine & cheese & tea also in the lounge, the Monkey Bar (bar and restaurant). The entire package was worth every not so steep penny! It is often a challenge to find a good hotel at a reasonable price: the Elysee is a good deal.

Very good location, between Park & Madison, who could ask for more?

We will certainly stay at the Elyse again.

Room Tip: We booked a room looking down on 54th street for the view.

“A Gem in Midtown”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013

I loved the Elysee. Warm reception, quiet and intimate and elegantly appointed rooms. The lounge is a plus and the breakfast, and WIFI, which are both included in the room rate, make the Elysee
the best hotel choice in town.

I will be back!

Room Tip: 54th Street is fairly quiet compared to other NY streets as it is one way going east. Ask for a r...

“Hotel was fantastic!!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 11, 2013

Hotel Elysee is a fantastic hotel in NYC. The location is great and within walking distance to all. The staff was very courteous and helpful. The hotel is very comfortable. Their Clubroom is a wonderful spot where continental breakfast is served daily with a great selection of beverages and food items. The room was adequately sized and the bathroom was clean. I would definitely stay here again!!!
