HOTEL ELYSÉE
A superb hotel with restaurant, bar and art gallery in New York.
This charming hotel, built in the 1920s, prides itself on the loyalty of its guests. Its 99 rooms are spacious and cozy, and its suites have the feel of small apartments. Rooms and suites don't have numbers, but names, for a more intimate feel. Patterned carpets, four-poster beds, antique furniture... The hotel has a pleasant European feel. The hotel also boasts a Greek restaurant and a historic New York restaurant called The Monkey Bar. It's sumptuous. As for reception, it's all very pleasant.

My wife and I came to NYC for a family celebration and spent our weekend here. The rooms were spacious and the beds were quite comfy. All staff members we interacted with were friendly and helpful. They provided us with delicious restaurant recommendations (highly recommend the Monkey Bar attached to the hotel if you can get a reservation) and set up reservations for when we arrived. They were also more than accommodating with our arrival and departure schedules when plans shifted around some. I should also note that the whole hotel is furnished with beautiful French antiques and florals which really add to the charm of the experience.
The location of the hotel was also wonderful. So many shops! There are also lots of delicious restaurants only a few blocks away, and if you are up for a little longer walk, you can easily get to Time Square and Broadway
The hotel also offers a complementary breakfast which later turns into a snack/coffee/tea room. We found the breakfast was more than substantial with yogurts, pastries, and some other options. It was great when we were in a hurry one morning, but also great when we were having a relaxing morning with tea/coffee before heading out for brunch.
It was an amazing weekend and I will absolutely be coming back next time I am in NYC.
The hotel was home to famous playwright Tennessee Williams for 15 years until his passing in 1984 at the very same hotel. The rooms are furnished is the classic traditional style. Service staff is very attentive and friendly. Guest lounge offers complimentary wine and appetizers during happy hour with snacks and beverages throughout the day and continental breakfast every morning.
