Rooms are small and in dire need of renovation, but you can’t beat the location across the street from Lincoln Center and the rooftop is worth a visit. Also, you can make like you’re Chuck Bass .

Karin Bäcklund

Great hotel with small but nice rooms, great restaurant and very friendly roof top club with a view to kill for! Don't forget to get the Chuck Bass Cocktail at the lobby bar !

FRITZ fritztheyodeler

This is an elegant hotel close to Lincoln Center & a short walk to Central Park . It is not cheap but heck, what is in NYC, right? But you are getting reasonable value here for what you pay for though.

One of those rooftop bars that makes you feel like you are in the center of everything. Great views . Inside and outside seating areas .

Ece C

Friendly people, great location, stylish hotel . Don't expect too much from their breakfast , you will only have bagels , pastries and classic corn flakes with paper containers and plastic cutlery.

Lydia Buckius

Amazing trip for gossip girl fanatics! Grand and dark lobby that reminds you of the one and only Chuck bass . Any girl will feel like Blair Waldorf when you arrive to the Empire Hotel.

The rooftop plunge pool at the Empire Hotel comes with private cabanas equipped with ceiling fans, LCD TVs , iPod docking stations with speakers, mini fridges , and telephones. Read more

Duncan PJ

Sad the pool closed early but they had a good sense of humour and sent me an apology from chuck bass

Kevin Grahl

Every Gossip Girl fan should stay here while visiting the Big Apple. Nice comfy rooms and the view from the roof is amazing!

Cocktails & Couture

The hotel lobby is breathtaking...great boutique hotel in a primo location. The bar in the lobby is comfortable and has a nice array of hard to find wines .

AC Capehart

If you want to take the stairs, they are just through non-descript double doors in the corner past the elevator

Neal Hill

There's a nice lounge on the second floor to relax. Bathroom ... Wi-Fi... all the amenities of home!

Liana Casciani

Haggle with the concierge to get a lower rate or upgrade with your room. If your Sicilian or Italian use it to bond!

Jónína Hansen

Really nice going to the rooftop grab a couple of drinks and enjoy the view ☀️

Cosmopolitan Magazine

Pucker up to one of Cosmo 's Sexiest Cocktails : The Oral Pleasure. It's a juicy mix of blood orange puree, tequila , and pear liqueur served with a candy straw. Yum! Read more

Fekete Annamária

Good hotel in the upper west side nyc.:) the view is good from the rooftop swimming pool .

Pascal M

Although they are slowly improving some parts of the hotel (in room AC ) they still have an issue with sound isolation and especially the windows. If you look for quiet . This is not the place for you.

Danielle Copeland

The Sobieski Cytron martini at the rooftop bar is to die for.

Maybelline New York

What’s New York without a stylish rooftop soiree? Party like Chuck Bass right across from the shows at Lincoln Center .

Nadia IssaBella

The bar really does look like the sort of place that Chuck Bass would frequent/own. Xoxo

Gary Barrett

The location is great, but it not worth the room cost. Small rooms with old decrepit finishing.

Barbara

Very small rooms but well designed. Bigelow bath products. Mini-bar. The windows open for fresh air .

Lee

The bouncers need to check their ego. You all work at a hotel not the white house!!!! Assholes!!!

Daniel P Wallace

The lobby bar is an awesome place to have a drink & Courtney at the front desk will get you a gym hook up.

The lobby bar is an awesome place to have a drink & Courtney at the front desk will get you a gum hook up.

Alex Robinson

Chuck Bass sure picks his hotels in style, so enjoy the rooftop bar like any Bass should.

Anoud ..

Great location(near lincoln corner). I guess they have a club outside but there is 2 things I didn't like, 1:the elevators and slow and you have to wait 30 minutes. 2:the rooms are tiny:/

Juan Munoz

Don't ever stay on the 11th floor unless you are able to fall asleep with high-decibel music .

Peter Kloprogge

Want free Internet: use empire as username and upperwest63 as passcode. Got this from staff after pressing that their website states that there ia free Internet.

Cheryl Contee

Modern yet comfortable design, nice rooftop bar and near Lincoln Center , Juilliard and Broadway. Recommended!

Alan Morton

Unimpressed with this hotel the ventilation makes a heck of sound all night long room in need of a refurbishment!

Ana Najdovska

I love this hotel , it makes me feel like im part of some GG scene

Stu

Cozy but expansive lobby.

Wendy G

Make sure not to get a room next to the elevator ! Rooms are small, and they have smoking/non-smoking ones!

Mohammad Salawati

A non Free Wi-Fi ????

Claudia Boscardin

Never accept the room 841, it feels like a closet and the AC does not work properly. The cleaning is very superficial. I will not go back to this hotel ????

Cynthia Anderson

Do NOT lean back on the pillows on couches in the lobby bar ,like everything else in the hotel they are falling apart and will leave you covered in feathers!

SityGrl ✈️☕️????

Lobby is a beauty. Room decor was not so great..

Tauri L

Get a Junior Suite , well worth it for a long trip!

✰ David Mathison ✰

Rooftop bar at sunset is very romantic

Kenneth Tiong

Incompetent hotel . A request for a knife at 812am only produced a knock at my door at 836am, after multiple calls saying I was in a hurry.

China Grill Management

Eat at Ed's Chowder House, Party at The Empire Hotel Rooftop !

Phil Kam

No shorts ? Seriously in this 90 degree weather for a outdoor bar ? For real shorts can be more stylish and chic than crotch showing bandage dresses these hoes are wearing. Skip this place. Next.

Alexandra P

Lobby bar is dog friendly !

Adam Lipkin

Avoid. Location is great (and the staff are nice), but broken showers , maids who ignore "do not disturb" signs (and who "accidentally" walk off with electronic devices), and more plague this place.

Nigel Glasgow

Very decent. Needs room service though

Bruna Valença

The installations are perfect but the quality of the service needs improving. The people from the front desk are rude!

David Wolf

The drinks may not cheap but they are huge!
