The Spotlight on Aloft Harlem

Stay in Style Steps from the Apollo Theater

Aloft Harlem is a modern, music-inspired hotel set in the heart of Harlem, New York City. With bold design, vibrant energy, and a location just a 3-minute walk from the legendary Apollo Theater, this hotel is a perfect blend of culture, comfort, and convenience. Guests enjoy free WiFi, sleek rooms with flat-screen TVs, and a buzzing atmosphere that echoes the beat of the neighborhood.

Why Concert-goers love it

If you're in town for a show, Aloft Harlem puts you close to some of NYC's most iconic venues. The 125th Street subway station is just a 4-minute walk away, offering late-night access to Times Square, Central Park, and beyond. The hotel’s 24-hour front desk means no stress if you’re coming in late after an encore, and the rooms offer a quiet, comfy escape from the city’s buzz.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to explore Harlem’s live music scene
  • Solo travelers chasing a bucket-list concert
  • Couples planning a music-filled weekend getaway
  • Fans who appreciate a peaceful, modern place to recharge post-show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want stylish stays without Midtown prices

Food and Drink Options

The hotel’s W XYZ Bar serves up cocktails and light bites, perfect for a pre-show drink or nightcap. While there’s no full-service restaurant, you’ll find plenty of walkable eateries offering everything from soul food to late-night slices. Tea and coffee facilities in your room and a quick breakfast available on-site mean you can grab a bite before heading out.

Nightlife Options

Start your night at the on-site W XYZ Bar, known for its cool ambiance and creative drinks. Step outside and you’re surrounded by Harlem’s rich music and nightlife culture, with live jazz spots, lounges, and hip-hop venues just blocks away. Or hop on the nearby subway to explore downtown’s club scene.

What People Say

Guests love the hotel’s trendy interiors, friendly staff, and unbeatable location near the Apollo Theater and subway. Reviews highlight the clean, comfortable rooms and convenient access to both uptown and downtown attractions. Many travelers call it a hidden gem for music fans.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the rooms are a bit compact by NYC standards, and while there’s no in-house restaurant, the neighborhood’s food scene more than makes up for it. A few noted the bar can be quiet on weekdays, but that just means more space at the counter.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers wanting a stylish, well-connected base close to NYC’s iconic venues, Aloft Harlem hits the right note.

Jonathan, Bronx, visiting Armory Track and Field Center

Aloft Harlem is a nice hotel at a competitive price. The staff are friendly and real without that veneer of phoniness you get at a lot of other places. I would stay again if I needed a place in the area.

Liked: Nice room and bathroom with lots of sunlight. Staff is helpful and competent without being nosy or obsequious.
Disliked: No room service available.

Great location, friendly front desk,...

Liked: Location, the gym, the front desk. Staff was very nice and helpful.
Disliked: The housekeeping was terrible. Our room was barely ever cleaned, and when it was cleaned, it wasn’t actually clean. There was no vacuuming done, the toilet was never cleaned, the bed was not made properly, and in addition to that a bag of trash was left in our room one dayAlso, while we really did like the gym, the yoga mats are very worn out. You could use a few new ones.
