The Lucerne is near a lot of restaurants, bakeries, convenience stores, etc. It is also about a 20-30 minute walk to Lincoln center depending on how fast you walk. It is located on the Upper West Side which is more like a neighborhood as opposed to the touristy midtown.

Fantastic stay

My family and I had a great stay here! Fantastic location in the Upper West Side, which we decided was the best neighborhood in the city, especially with it's close location to Central Park. Everyone at this hotel was friendly and helpful. The room was very clean. If I'm back in New York, I will happily stay here again.

My new fav in nyc. Location is great for visiting museum mile with crosstown bus stop steps from the front door and the subway in the next block to travel up or downtown, or to and from Penn Station. Excellent restaurant Nice Matin on site and a 15% discount for breakfast and afternoon Apero (happy hr) featuring generous complimentary hors d'oeuvres.
