Judged on the basis of the rooms alone, you might wonder why this hotel is so highly rated. The rating reflects the combination of many things that the hotel gets right. This includes the excellent location, the friendly and competent staff, the complimentary continental breakfasts served in the second-floor club room, wine and cheese receptions almost every afternoon, free access...

My partner and I stayed at the Hotel Elysee for the second time while in NYC for a few days of theater 5/25-5/28. This is the first time we have stayed at the same NYC hotel twice, and we are very glad we did. We had a large, quiet room with a view to the street, which I got for...

This was our 4th experience with a top rated NYC hotel and the best one of the four for sleep quality, convenient location and hospitality. We liked their business model where all the front desk staff is able to act as concierge, well staffed and trained, very helpful and friendly. The continental breakfast and all day long snack and beverage...

Best location, close to everything. In the charming cozy lounge area, tasty treats/breakfast/wine, you hear languages from around the globe. Great quality/ value. Comfortable beds, lovely linens..

We received a warm welcome on arrival and found the room (a street side superior), better than expected - windows on two sides, with views on to Madison and Park Aves at either end of the street, (E54th) king size comfy bed, spotlessly clean and well equipped bathroom. There was also a TV, DVD player and a good quality iPod...

This hotel lives up to the reviews. We intend to stay here when we return to NYC. This is a lovely hotel. Our only complaint, and we barely even noticed as the weekend progressed, was that some rugs needed replacing.
