We have stayed at the Lucerne several times since 2002 and will return. We enjoy the neighborhood vibe of the Upper West Side and the Lucerne is conveniently located near Central Park, great restaurants and interesting shopping. Subway stations are conveniently located one block away at the corner of 79th Street and Broadway and at the corner of 81st Street and Central Park West. The hotel itself is clean and quiet and staff is professional and helpful. We are more than pleased with The Lucerne Hotel.

Very nice hotel, reminds me of a hotel in Paris. Rooms are nice & clean. Good location, away from the hustle & bustle of Times Square, but very conveniently located near the train station. Took just 1 train to get to Broadway & Statue of Liberty. Also only a 5 minute walk to American Museum of Natural History. There’s a 24 hour market right across the street. Will be back & highly recommend!
