Wonderful stay in NYC

by Mashmellow

I have stayed here twice and both times I experienced a very helpful, courteous staff and a surprisingly large room for an NYC hotel. The location was pretty good for shopping and seeing the sights. I got a good price the first time by booking through the hotel itself and the second time I used quikbook.

Great Stay For Fashion Week, 2009

by hoyarn

Stayed with three girlfriends while attending a runway show across the street in Bryant Park. Hotel location perfect for on-time attendance at the show; just a hop, skip and jump away. Room was generously sized, with an exceptionally large bathroom featuring a soaking tub, walk in shower and full size sink vanity. The reception staff very gracious and helpful with even simple things, like the address of a restaurant where we were having dinner. The Cellar Bar, located inside the hotel, was a trendy hot spot perfect for hanging out after dinner for drinks and dancing. Patrick, the bellman, was eager to help us on an early Saturday morning, willingly offering to hold our bags while we had breakfast at a great place he suggested and gave us the perfect advice for making sure our car was pulled right around as we arrived back from breakfast. He had us all loaded up and ready to go in no time. Only two small areas for improvement: The "free drink" vouchers given to us upon our arrival were not accepted in the bar for some unknown reason and the bellman on duty on Friday night directed us to walk up a block to hail a cab, rather than getting one for us. Not a big deal, but a pain in the neck on a very cold night in the city. Overall, our expectations were exceeded and we will return on our next trip to the city.

Perfect Place for a NYC Getaway

by travellinglightly

I live near the city, but it still felt like a luxurious vacation at Bryant Park. The staff is extroadinary- everyone went out of their way to make our stay perfect. Complimentary champagne, free drinks, prompt service, and they knew our names after the first day. Really lovely.

Excellent weekend in NYC

by peeandeff

We stayed at the Bryant Park Hotel during a long weekend in New York to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. We made the booking directly with the hotel, which unlike others we had spoken to, was flexible and willing to offer a really attractive package. We ended up with a junior suite and, as I had stressed I was keen to make this a memorable weekend, they put us on the 17th floor where we had fantastic views. To mark the special occasion, the hotel said they would provide complimentary champagne ? when it didn?t arrive, I spoke to the receptionist the following morning and she was very apologetic. Clearly, this was just an oversight and it arrived on the second evening. The room was really great ? quite minimalist and super trendy ? with a large bathroom with separate walk-in shower and large bath. The Bryant Park is deliberately stylish and may not suit those with traditional tastes; however, we found the service attentive and not too formal. In particular, the concierge was very helpful in securing reservations at a couple of top restaurants. Other than the separate Koi restaurant and bar ? which we didn?t find time to visit ? the public areas are small and functional and limited to the reception and concierge. This wasn?t a problem for us as we wanted to see as much of the city as possible, rather than hang around in a hotel lobby.

The Bryant Park is in a great location because it is within walking distance of so many of the places you will want to visit ? Top of the Rock, Grand Central Station, Empire State, Theatre District etc. ? and is within half a block of the subway. Even though it is just two or three blocks from the frenetic hubbub of Times Square, the Bryant Park Hotel is situated in a relatively calm street between 5th and 6th Avenues and, of course has the benefit of the leafy oasis that is Bryant Park itself just across the street.

Best Hotel in town

by kpbf

This hotel is my favorite in NYC - big enough to cope, small enough to care. We had a fantastic stay, the room is tredy/modern but very comfortable, the bathroom is big and well fitted. The location is great and the close proximity of the park makes it pretty unique.

The service from all staff was excellent and they made a holiday long weekend very special.

I would reccomend this hotel to anyone, they would not be disappointed.
