What People Are Saying About New York Palace Spa & Fitness

Featured Review

The Scene – The landmark Villard House, built in 1882, was languishing as a storage space before the New York Palace Hotel decided to throw $3 million into a revamp. Now the two-story bar, designed by Pierre Court, is dripping with decadence, not to mention the tassels and fringes that hang from voluptuous period chairs. Styles lifted from the rec rooms of Napoleon and Queen Victoria add a gilded layer to Villard's original vaulted ceilings, Tiffany windows and ornate woodwork. – – The Draw – Sophisticated lighting and ambient techno piped through four themed rooms…

Editor's Tips

Where to Sit:
The Tent Room is virtually hookah-ready, while the Red Room is the current guest favorite.
What to Drink:
True high rollers may try Hardy Perfection cognac, made in the 1870s, for $500 a glass. (Martinis go for $14.)

Great decor, slow service!

by technosnob at Citysearch

I went after work with a couple of picky co-workers. We all agreed that the decor is fantastic and comfy. However, the service is incredibely slow. We had to ask for drinks multiple times and got charge for each time we asked - not acceptable when each drink is $15! The staff is gracious though - one of my co-workers was upset about the music and gave the manager an ear-full. He was gracious and accomodated her ungraciously delivered request by changing the music. The food was good and priced fairly for the area and what you got.

I think this place would be great for a romantic, please-leave-me-alone while I spend a lof of money, date because it's very dark and cozy and the staff definitely leaves you alone. If you want more attention, definitely go somewhere else.

  • Pros: decor, nice staff, good food
  • Cons: slow staff, expensive drinks

Count Dracula's Lair

by thsiung at Citysearch

I stumble upon this place and went in with my friends for the first time, and we were amazed at the level of design and decor of this place. Marble table with snacks on the table, and strong contrast of black and red through out the bar. The bathroom is located on the sub-level under bar, which is very spacious and palace like. The stair to the bathroom is very movie-like, made you feel like walking in the hallway of some mansion. The cocktail was a bit pricy and wasn't mixed that good, but the staff was friendly and the place is perfect to impress ur date.

  • Pros: nice interior design, friendly staff, killer atmosphere
  • Cons: expensive, no appetizers
