Stayed 10 days over Christmas . The entire experience was superb. For 22 years I have relentlessly supported Marriott as an elite Bonvoy member however following my stay at this property I will never consider the “cookie cutter “ impersonal , rule based authority imposed by large chain properties. This hotel has opened a whole new experience destroying any preconceptions that the large chain operations offer more it is simply not the case in fact the opposite . The large hotel conglomerates,are in my opinion, following this stay impersonal, disingenuous and hyped by marketing hypocrisy. The Michelangelo Hotel is grand but intimate, the service non intrusive but impeccable, the rooms of large proportions offering a quiet retreat from the chaos of Times Square that surrounds. The decor is ageing opulence. The breakfast is wonderful with an extensive a La carte menu coupled with attentive service that is imparted by the dedicated F&B team . My room was a one bed king suite which was huge by any standard with two marble bathrooms . Housekeeping service outstanding . The location could not be better . If you are expecting a pristine , bland cookie cutter pedestrian chain hotel this is not for you. From my perspective this hotel offers perfection , no crowds, no noise , caring staff and a timeless intimate quality that is rare to find anywhere in this day of “chain sameness “. I cannot recommend this hotel more highly . I will be returning without doubt .

We just returned from a mid-week stay in NYC at the incomparable Michelangelo Hotel. This is my 7th or 8th visit to this hotel and each time I am extremely impressed with this unique property. The property has an old European elegance vibe and the location is excellent - close to transit, restaurants, shopping and near enough to Time Square and the theatre district. We love the spacious rooms (especially the larger bathrooms) and the furniture in the rooms - old world charm. The staff at this hotel are all exemplary professionals from the doormen who help you in and out of the hotel to the front desk staff and the maids. Customer service is excellent and staff go the extra mile to ensure your stay is perfect. Special shout out to Susanna the maid on the 4th floor this weekend! The doormen are the super heroes of the hotel as are the front desk staff. Absolutely love this hotel and will return in March and again in June. I have been here 7 or 8 times and my stays get better ands better!! A bit more pricey but worth every penny!!

Stayed at The Michelangelo over President's Day / Valentine's Day weekend. Needless to say, NYC was jammed. We had plans for Broadway shows, an event at Carnegie Hall, dinners at Le Bernardin and Tratoria Dell Arte among others, and a visit to MOMA. The Michelangelo could not be in a better location and we were able to walk to all of those events even though it was very cold that weekend and we are in our 70's. It was also a short ride to get to the High Line, Hudson Yards and the gentrified Meat Packing District which we hadn't seen before. The Michelangelo has a true European vibe. We had a full suite (with two bathrooms !!!) and paid a fraction of the price that we would pay at the better known hotels where we usually stay. The staff was very friendly and accommodating and the concierge was quite helpful for directions and restaurants in the neighborhood. It is a smaller property without a fancy restaurant, but they do have breakfast, lunch and dinner available with a somewhat limited menu. The bar is comfortable and open late and was a good place to meet people from locals to international travelers. It draws an interesting and nice crowd. We would highly recommend this hotel for its atmosphere, location and value.
