Perhaps more iconic than the hotel itself is its sign. The Art Deco hotel opened in 1931, and the sign was put up the following year. Guests include composer Igor Stavinsky and author Herman Wouk. Read more

The absolute best hotel in New York (and I've probably stayed in at least a two dozen). But get ready to pay a fortune for everything ... including wi-fi and room service.

Exceptional hotel but they over charge for everything from wifi to just using their coffee machines.

Perfectly located in Central Park south between Columbus circle and the Plaza Hotel. Service is great and the concierge lounge is top rate. Celebrity watch!!

If you have seen other JW Marriott hotels. This one is lower level than the others. And extensive.
Travis MacDecember 23, 2012
In a land of great hotel bars, this one is terrible. I hope Marriott takes notes from the ritz, st Regis, and the plaza (all nearby) and steps it up!

The Beds are so nice and unlike most hotels the items in rooms aren't cheap. The TV is HD and is really nice along with other items in room. Food is pricey but amazing. Wifi in rooms but costs.

One of the better Marriott properties in the city. If you have status, the concierge lounge is particularly nice.

If you have multiple devices you want to connect to the internet hook up a mac via ethernet, pay for that and share its internet over wifi!

Sarabeth's, just down the road towards 5th, is a great place for breakfast. Try the Papa Bear porridge!
Kerem DereliDecember 1, 2013
There's not a whole bunch to choose from delicacies for brunch. The price was hefty as well. Go to Sarabeth's nearby instead
Ellie ShapiroJune 26, 2019
Right on the Central Park so. Great location
John MaineMarch 15, 2013

Nice hotel if you wanna take a rest before you start the olympics around the avenues :)
Stephanie CaseyApril 4, 2014
So worth paying the extra for a room facing Central Park!
Rachel LodinApril 4, 2016
Beautiful views of the park from this hotel!
Rim KarouiMarch 29, 2015
Staff is friendly and helpful. But the rooms could be better. disappointing quality for the reputation and pricr of the hotel
Cindy SalminsSeptember 24, 2013
Had a box overnight mailed and they lost it for several hours. $400/night for service like that? I know it's NYC, but $25.00 for continental breakfast?
Daniel StawasenMay 1, 2013
2500 points per night until lounge is ready for Platinum members.

Get as high as you can room. If not, the central park view will be worthless.

Great Hotel!

Really disappointed. Over $500 a night booked well in advance. Elite member. Asked for high floor and got 3rd floor overlooking generators, dreary room, old; nothing like the photos.
