This is a pricey hotel but it certainly is a fantastic hotel, they had taken note of my husbands birthday and upgraded us to a room overlooking 5th avenue, very nice rooms, I especially like the TV in the bath tub!
Ate in the resturant in the evening, as well as taking afternoon tea in the tea room, breakfast was great there too, « less

After a long journey from london, they have a pool you can relax in until 9:30pm(the view is amazing from the pool...) not to mention a sauna and steam facility. We had a superior room which was great, the view was just other rooms, but we didn't really need a view. It was a wonderful hotel, brilliant staff and the overall appearance makes it feel grand. the location is fantastic too, right opposite trump towers(and for all you shoppers, its right on 5th avenue.....i.e. Zara, Armani Exchange, Cartier, F.A.O Schwartz, H&M and many more, walking distance to central park and about 5-10 mins walking from times square.
be warned though, the hotel is expensive, massages cost a fortune!! and room service.....is literally pocket emptying....(although if you walk out the front door there are several hot dog stands!!)
Overall wonderful experience, i would definitely stay there again.... « less

To me this is one of the icon hotels , with a perfect location , I like the style and feel. Rooms and bathrooms are very comfortable , but avoid the smaller room categories. Room service and maid service has worked excellent when I have stayed there.
Unfortunately the service level is sub par from doormen , bellhops and front desk. Not even close to Pen Bev Hills . However this seems to be an issue with all NYC hotels.
It is a great hotel as long as you don't have to eat and drink there. The restaurant is terrible , menu , prices , service and decor . The bar has a good location and layout , but again the service is dreadful , they spend more time chatting with employees than attending to guests . « less

This is my kind of hotel - lovely, old school opulent without being garish, renovated with quietly sexy rooms - a place for grown -ups, not club kids. I got a decent rate on jetsetter.com - otherwise the Peninsula is out of my price range. I have also stayed at the Peninsula Beverly Hills and I prefer the staff here in NYC - they are more polished and pleasant. While we were checking out I overheard a staff person at the front desk try to get a new chair for a guest because he had back problems. I live in the NYC area so I don't stay at city hotels that much (3 -6 times a year maybe) but this is my kind of place. Next time I'll try to get there earlier to head to the spa (I 've seen photos - looks spectacular) and do a yoga class (fitness classes are complimentary for guests). « less
