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.

Great location, but service and...

Liked: The location is excellent. The size of the rooms is also very comfortable.
Disliked: Our particular room had several issues. Some of the lights would not turn on, the set up of the room was a little haphazard, and there were a few fixtures in the bathroom that seemed incredibly old and were flaking. We also had some issues upon check-in, where one of our tools was not ready until quite late after normal check in time, and the lock on the door did not work properly, despite having changed out the key three times. We also asked the front desk to make a reservation for us at the rooftop restaurant, but only we got there, after haven’t been told it was booked, they have no record of our reservation

Little gem in the heart...

Liked: The design, the atmosphere, the staff, the location, the high ceiling in the room.
Disliked: Details in the bathroom: missing bars to properly dry the bathtowels, and not enough shelves to put our stuff.
