Recent Helmsley Park Lane Review: "The Helmsley Park Lane Hotel faces Central Park and is in good company with the legendary Plaza Hotel at one end of the block and the Ritz Carlton at the other. The neighborhood is superlative, the Central Park view wonderful, but don't think that is all there is at this wonderful hotel. It is as if Mrs. Helmsley is still in residence. Everything is  perfect. The condition throughout the entire hotel is meticulously perfect, even though it is not sleek and modern like the newer hotels. The elegant quality of well thought out design stands the test of time. Who else would have cut crystal bath lightingr Only Leona. Classic, Classy without being stuffy. Prepare to live a way we have long-since forgotten, when life was indeed elegant and enjoyable. No trotting down the hall to fetch a bucket of ice. Just ring for the staff to bring it to you and it will be there before you know it. The staff is most courteous, efficient, polite and helpful. All are most interested in performing their function to their highest potential. These are professional people of the highest standard who obviously are well-suited for the careers they have chosen. You are assured their only pleasure is to ensure for you the most superlative stay at the Park Lane. You will appreciate the quietness of the building even when many guests are in residence. The elevators for the guests are very fast, which is a help in a 46 floor building. Don't miss the fabulous view from the dining room directly into Central Park. Breakfast is served there as well. The Park Lane will remain one of New York's most special hotels -- an elegant beacon of graciousness on Central Park."

    Location
    The Helmsley Park Lane is located across the street from Central Park in New York, N.Y. This property stands two blocks from Fifth Avenue shops and less than three blocks from Columbus Circle.
    Overview
    Perfect for celebrations, special occasions, or just a weekend getaway in the Big Apple, the Helmsley Park Lane offers a classic New York location: on Central Park South, facing Central Park and the rows of horse-drawn carriages awaiting passengers. Stroll the park's emerald expanse and take in the magnificent views of the surrounding skyscrapers. The people-watching is equally engaging. Or meet the animals at the Central Park Zoo--feeding time is especially fun. A short walk east or west of the hotel will take you to some of the city’s premier shopping: Fifth Avenue is 1 block east, and The Shops at Columbus Circle and the Time Warner Center are less than one-half mile away. If you're an Apple aficionado, be sure to visit the Fifth Avenue Apple Store, a much-photographed high-tech nirvana just a 5-minute walk east. Rockefeller Center and Broadway theaters are within a mile.

    The Helmsley Park Lane's Park Room Restaurant offers front-row views of Central Park through floor-to-ceiling windows. Like the hotel itself, the menu combines traditional European elegance with a modern American flair. The Sunday brunch is a New York favorite. Sip a classic or creative cocktail at Harry’s New York Bar, named after Manhattan real-estate magnate and philanthropist Harry Helmsley.

    Venturing out? The concierge staff, all members of the prestigious Les Clefs d’Or organization, can offer expert advice on what awaits you--and then make reservations. Before or after exploring the city, you can keep up with your exercise routine in the 24-hour fitness center. Stay connected to the rest of the world via the hotel’s newsstand, which specializes in international newspapers. Or connect via wireless Internet access (surcharge), available throughout the hotel.

    In the traditionally decorated Hotel Rooms, picture windows frame views of Central Park or Manhattan. Flat-panel TVs come with movie channels. Start your day with a complimentary copy of The New York Times, delivered to your room each weekday. Wireless Internet access is available for a surcharge. In the marble bathroom, you’ll find plush robes and Gilchrist & Soames bath amenities. All Hotel Rooms are smoking.
    Recreation

    The 24-hour fitness center provides cardio and strength equipment. If you prefer the footpath to the treadmill, stop by the concierge desk and pick up a Central Park map, which you can wear on a convenient neck cord.

    A short guide to Central Park

    Buildings crane above one another to claim views of Central Park, a piece of real estate valued at more than $528 billion. Surprises abound in its 843 acres. The grounds include a castle, a zoo, several lakes, and an Egyptian obelisk. A city that never sleeps needs its quiet time, too: Central Park has six designated “quiet zones,” including Strawberry Fields, the monument to John Lennon.
