The Spotlight on The Refinery Hotel

Stylish Midtown Escape with Rooftop Views

Modern yet steeped in NYC history, The Refinery Hotel is a boutique gem in the heart of Manhattan. Just a 10-minute walk from Times Square and steps from Bryant Park, this fashionable stay offers an industrial-chic vibe with upscale touches—think rooftop cocktails, skyline views, and a location that puts you close to the action but far enough for a peaceful night’s rest.

Rooms come equipped with a flat-screen TV, mini bar, and 24/7 room service, while the rooftop lounge offers spectacular views of the Empire State Building. The hotel also features a 24-hour fitness center and complimentary Wi-Fi in public areas.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert lovers appreciate the Refinery’s prime Midtown location, walking distance from major subway lines at 42nd Street, giving you fast access to venues across the city. After the show, retreat to a quieter, upscale room or head up to the rooftop for a nightcap. The flexible noon check-out time is perfect for sleeping in after a late night.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to explore NYC’s music scene and nightlife
  • Solo travelers seeing a bucket-list artist at a nearby venue
  • Couples making a stylish weekend of it
  • Music fans wanting a quieter, more refined post-concert recovery spot
  • Budget-conscious fans who want luxury touches without going overboard

Food and Drink Options

The Refinery’s on-site restaurant serves up elevated fare, while the rooftop lounge pours cocktails with skyline views. Room service is available late, and there are plenty of walkable dining options nearby—from quick bites to cozy cafés. Breakfast is available for those who need a slow start after a night out.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel doesn’t host live music on-site, its rooftop lounge is a favorite for a more relaxed vibe. You're just minutes from Midtown bars, lounges, and clubs, making it easy to keep the night going—or end it with elegance just steps from your room.

What People Say

Travelers rave about the rooftop bar views, the hotel’s chic industrial design, and its superb location for exploring the city. Many highlight the staff’s friendliness and the overall boutique hotel feel that blends luxury with comfort.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that street-facing rooms can pick up a bit of city noise—this is NYC, after all—so light sleepers may want to request an interior room. Also, while Wi-Fi is free in public areas, in-room access may come with an added fee depending on your booking.

The Bottom Line

If you're after a stylish Midtown basecamp with skyline views and easy access to NYC's best concert venues, The Refinery Hotel hits all the right notes.

Superb

Liked: A great hotel in a fabulous location, offered free bottled water at reception at any time and free wine every day between 1pm and 7pm! The food in the hotel restaurant was lovely - had a breakfast and a dinner there during our stay when we were too tired to go out anywhere else. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Beds are very comfy and it was clean and the turndown service each night was a lovely touch. Would stay again.
Disliked: Our room didn't really get any sunlight so was a little dark but we didn't really spend much time inside apart from sleeping.

This was our third time...

Liked: We like the location of the hotel, everything is close by but it is not a busy street. Room was good size with huge TV, bathroom was really nice with a bath, beds were perfect to get a good night sleep after running around all day long. Staff was amazing and helped with all our requests immediately.
Disliked: Maybe the closet could be better size, but there are shelves in the room so everything can be put out of the suitcase.

Not a 5 start hotel...

Liked: Good location in mid town however very dark and poorly lit rooms - very far from the bright pictures.We started at an extremely gloomy room with only one small side window and were transferred into a better room upon our request which was nicer but still not as light and airy as one might expect from the pictures.Points for them for the quick transfer.The design is nice and sharp but I don’t think this is a really good hotel for families as it feels like a big bar.The breakfast option are rather poor especially for kids with two basic options.As for service - the people working there are however the service is far from the expected level in a real 5 start hotel. For one upon arrival at only 08:00 pm there was no doorman to assist us with 3 suitcases and 2 sleeping kids on our hands. Moreover on one of the days, housekeeping didn’t clean our room up until 03:00 pm which was exactly when we got back from a day outside - I was told they clean until 05:00 pm but I don’t think it is reasonable in a real 5 star hotel (especially when it is not that big) and lastly they don’t really answer or communicate in the booking chat in the two times I have tried.
