This property has gone downhill. It’s dark, dirty and unchanged. The front desk personnel are disingenuous and not friendly. Our room key demagnetized every day, so had to schlep down to the lobby every time to swipe out. Hallway to our room at the very end was dark, could not see where to insert key in door without a flashlight. Bathroom in mezzanine area was gross. Lobby untouched for years- literally if you look around carefully, it’s all dusty, there’s a whole unused old bar area that looks like no one has cleaned in years. Quite sad as there are many personnel just standing around to open lobby doors, but that’s all they do I guess. Room old, shower head the only updated thing which was nice. Rates way too high for what one is sleeping in. It’s unfortunate. It was the most disappointing stay in a hotel I have had in many years.

Key failure

The best part of the hotel is the lobby. Everything was great except my key failed almost every time I went to enter my room. I found this very annoying, expressed this to the staff, they made me a new key every time but did nothing else to make up for it.
View from the Starbucks next to the hotel. On the left is Lincoln Center.

The Empire Hotel is located in an ideal location, steps away from broadway & walking ability to every theater. There’s a reasonable parking garage on 61st. Restaurants on every corner. The rooftop lounge is super crowded because it’s not owned/ operated by the Hotel but if you can get pass the crowds and make ur way to the bar, the drinks are amazing & the views are made for picture taking. The Empire lobby area is beautiful but the rooms/ bathrooms need major upgrades. My room had one mirror in the bathroom no full length mirror. The drain system in the tube was congested; several times I had to turn off the water & back on to allow the water to drain. In addition, it should be mandatory for hotels charging $300 plus a night to have king size beds ONLY in single rooms. We were given a full size bed for two, the view from our room was the Lincoln theatre so we left the window shade open.

Love the Hotel and location Room 517 bathroom door squeaks very load woke my husband. Behind toilet seat old dried pee The keys didn’t work We stood in a very dim lighted hallway and tried to get the keys to work for about five minutes, then had to go to the front desk and get new ones.

Lovely overnight stay to explore the city. Decor is very art deco and gorgeous. Rooftop bar was lovely. My only complaint would be the hallway lighting being poor. It was quite dark and made it hard to find the slot for the room key
