Excellent stay, limited lighting in the bedroom

Excellent service at check in and check out. The doormen were helpful upon arrival and departure with bag storage and also for hailing cab when I was leaving heavy loaded with bags. I would recommend to have option for better lighting in rooms, as in have at least the desk lamp to be more powerful for those of use that need to get some work done.

The Empire Hotel is a gem of the Lincoln Center area. This hotel has a wonderful boutiquey feel, and is so convenient to the entire area. I really enjoyed my stay!

The most perfect place to stay when seeing a show at Lincoln Center…
Vanessa, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Great location, outdated room

Great location, staff was helpful, but room was outdated and items like shower curtain were dirty. Cobwebs on ceiling lights, open panel on wall, dusty ceiling fan in bathroom
2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Could be excellent with some renovations

The Empire is in a convenient location with excellent amenities compared to other hotels in the immediate area. I was just disappointed that the black out shade was broken and couldn’t be pulled open during the day to get light, and the thermostat wasn’t working so the fan just kept whirring all night. We had a broken AC in our room when I stayed there a year ago as well.

The hotel lobby is gorgeous. The bar was closed. It would be nice to have a bar and quick food service. Our room was small but that is NY. The location was wonderful. The upstairs bar is pretty but the service was not good. It is not owned by the hotel.
