Recent Hotel Roger Williams Review: "I usually try to visit NY once a year but this is the first time I've stayed at the Rogers Williams. I've walked by the hotel before and thought that I'd like to stay there but it was a bit expensive for one person. Luckily, I got a deal online. This is a wonderful hotel. I don't know if it qualifies as a boutique hotel but it certainly felt like one.  The service was friendly and attentive. I never had to wait for assistance and everyone seemed eager to help. The room was lovely and spacious for a NY hotel room. I was concerned about visiting this year because of the bedbug media hype - well, my concerns were unfounded. I never saw any evidence of any bug of any sort and my room was very clean. My only complaint, and it's not really a big deal, is that my room was warm. The heat wasn't on but the room was hot. I mentioned it at the front desk and they said they would try to do something. I think they tried something, though I don't know what they could have done since the heat wasn't on but the room seemed a bit cooler on the subsequent days. It was still pretty warm but not unbearably hot as on the first day. Also, there was an attachment in the shower that didn't work but again no big deal. The only other thing was that the safety box was on a very high shelf in the closet and I had stand inside the closet to barely reach it. But it wasn't a big deal. I managed to stow my belongings without too much exertion. I would definitely stay here again and recommend this hotel to all my friends."

    Overview

    The stylish Hotel Roger Williams offers the best of both worlds: a boutique experience away from the tourist crowds, yet with easy access to the city's top attractions. "The Roger" faces Madison Avenue at East 31st Street in Manhattan's largely residential Murray Hill neighborhood. Posh Park Avenue is just a block away, and the Empire State Building is 3 blocks north. Walk 6 blocks up Madison Avenue to the Morgan Library & Museum, whose vast holdings include an original Gutenberg Bible, letters from luminaries like Queen Elizabeth I, and exquisite drawings by Renaissance masters. Take time for lunch at the Morgan Café, housed in the glass-enclosed central courtyard. Spending an evening at a concert or a game at Madison Square Garden is a cinch, as it's just a 15-minute walk from "The Roger." In the mood for a Broadway show? The Theater District is 1 mile north. You can catch the subway 1 block away.

    Hotel Roger Williams offers its own special charm, plus a host of conveniences. The high-ceilinged lobby is dotted with intimate conversation alcoves--including a cozy sofa secreted in a curtained cubby opposite the Check-In desk. A long staircase leads to the mezzanine, which houses the hotel's casually chic restaurant and bar. At the Gourmet Breakfast Pantry, also on the mezzanine, you can enjoy a European-style buffet breakfast or pick up snacks. Hunger pangs can be satisfied at all hours with room service, available 24 hours a day.

    Manhattan is made for walking, but you can also work out any time and whatever the weather in the hotel's modern 24-hour fitness center Check your email anywhere in the hotel via wireless Internet access--it's included in the resort fee.

    The Roger's thoughtful boutique touches are fully displayed in the Hotel Rooms. Pillowtop mattresses are layered with Egyptian-cotton linens and down duvets.

Start the day refreshed with Aveda bath amenities.
    A short guide to Midtown

    Some of NYC’s best-known landmarks are north of 14th and south of 59th—or Midtown Manhattan. Here, couples kiss atop the Empire State Building. Grand Central Station’s opal-faced clock is a famed meeting spot. While fortunes are made on Wall Street, fortunes are spent at Fifth Avenue’s shops. Other highlights include Madison Square Garden, the United Nations, and the Garment and Diamond districts.

    Recreation

    Open 24 hours a day, the wood-paneled fitness center is outfitted with cardio machines, free weights, and wall-mounted TVs. Fresh towels are provided. Peer out the windows for views of Madison Avenue.
