Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and this hotel delivers. You're just minutes from Broadway theaters and Midtown concert venues, with complimentary transfers twice daily to Wall Street and Broadway destinations — perfect for catching a show without the hassle. After the encore, return to a peaceful room with surprisingly low city noise thanks to top-notch insulation. The 4 p.m. check-in time gives you plenty of time to settle in, and the plush amenities make late-night returns feel like a treat.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends who want a stylish base in the city

Food and Drink Options

Start your day (or recover from your night) with breakfast or weekend brunch at The Villard. For something more casual, there’s an on-site bakery and two lounges serving drinks and light bites. In-room dining is available for those late-night cravings after a show. While 24/7 room service isn’t explicitly listed, the options on-site and nearby mean you’ll never go hungry.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more refined than rowdy, you're only a short walk or cab ride away from Midtown’s vibrant bars, lounges, and live music venues. Prefer to wind down? The hotel bars serve up craft cocktails in a relaxed setting — ideal for a nightcap without the crowds.

What People Say

Guests rave about the location and views, especially those overlooking St. Patrick’s Cathedral. The rooms are spacious by NYC standards, and the staff gets high marks for professionalism. Many appreciate the historic-meets-modern vibe and the attention to detail throughout the property.

Areas for Improvement

It’s no secret — the price tag is steep. But many guests feel the quality and location justify the cost. Some note that the hotel can feel a bit formal, so if you’re after a hip, ultra-modern vibe, this might not be your scene.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers wanting a luxurious and peaceful stay within walking distance of Midtown’s top venues, Lotte New York Palace hits all the right notes.
