What People Are Saying About The Muse Hotel, a Kimpton Hotel

Featured Review

The Scene – For fans of Broadway, this hotel is centrally located in the former Leavitt Building. The triple-arched brick and limestone facade has been dramatically renovated, and an additional five new floors bring the guest room number to 200. The theater tie-in continues in the hotel's David Rockwell-designed American brasserie, District, which features a woven stainless steel curtain drawn up to one side as if opening onto a stage. – – The Details – Commissioned artwork reflecting theater and dance hangs in the guest rooms. Accommodations are lavishly adorned with…

The Extras:
A nice personal touch the Muse offers are "business cards," which list your hotel phone extension; distribute them while networking or just meeting new people in town.
Know Before You Go:
Work out any time you want to (i.e., after raiding the minibar). The hotel's fitness room is open 24 hours and accessible by room key cards.

Boutique Hotel

by shebes228

This hotel is in the middle of anywhere you need to get to in the city. It's a small boutique hotel, which is very trendy and cute. The rooms are spacious, with beautiful clean bathrooms (which always are important factors in a Hotel Room). It's close to Times Square, which means near all transit. Even though I've stayed there in the Winter, when I was inside, I always felt like I was in a South Beach little Hotel...

  • Pros: Close to everything
  • Cons: Might be pricey
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Excellent! Excellent! Excellent

by Bridget_Jones

Bravo! I can't say enough fabulous things about this hotel and my stay here. I loved my room, and the shampoos: "L'Occitane" brand which is an upgrade from the "Philosophy" products they used to use. No skimping on hotel shampoos here! "L'Occitane" is very expensive and you can only buy it at their store or Bergdorf's. Staff was perfect, the BEST cocktails in the city, and food was pretty interesting as well. I liked the mini hamburgers. Don't forget an in room massage too.

  • Pros: Service, Shampoos, Cocktails
  • Cons: A little pricy, Expensive room servic

Spacious and Gracious

by paulachris

Just returned from 4 nights at The Muse and everything was perfect. The room was spacious and well-appointed, the staff (all of them) were exceptionally friendly and professional and the air-conditioning was COLD (important in July). Each evening not only was the bed turned down when we returned from the theater, but the ice bucket was full and there were fresh towels. Our room was quiet (on the 12th floor) and the NYT was outside our door, even on Sunday. I signed up for e-mail specials at the Hotel web site and got a great rate that way.

  • Pros: Location, Room size, Amenities
  • Cons: None

New Years Gem

by heeto

Spent three nights over New Years...of course cant beat the location one block from Times Square.Beatifully decorated rooms and common areas.We were checked in within 2 minutes.For quiet rooms,ask for a room away from 46th street as the windows are not well insulated for street noise.Difficult getting city cabs in front of hotel which requires you to reserve car service to the airports.This is reliable,but you will pay more.Would def. return to this hotel.

  • Pros: location, decor, check-in
  • Cons: , car rides to airports

Next time a little longer

by llundberg

My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at this hotel last weekend I compliment them on the high standards set by the hotel and staff. Even before the end of the first day my wife had already decided we should return for a longer stay as soon as time allows

  • Pros: Staff, style, food
