Recent Moderne Review: "We found out about the Moderne from Trip Advisor and booked our stay with not much expectation as this was our 2nd visit to NYC and we knew better than to expect much at the rates that we got the Moderne for. Boy were we wrong. The room was exactly what it looked like in the photos and the king size bed was heavenly. Yes closet space in the the room  was a bit small but this is as expected so we didn't really mind the lack of space. My wife especially love the robes and the shower room. The staff was friendly and helpful and we especially recommend Teddy and Basheer. The lounge on the 2nd floor was simply inviting and we enjoyed the early morning coffee and cakes that filled us up before we go out on our trips around the city. The Moderne is also located near to all subway stations which made our journey around the city truly an easy one. The close proximity to Central Park and Times Square was fantastic. I would definitely recommend this hotel to visitors of the Big Apple. A definite value for money and an incredible bargain."

Dining at Moderne

The Moderne does not have its own restaurant but is located within a 5-minute walk of diverse restaurants. You can try Sugiyama for Japanese food including Kaiseki (chef-chosen small dishes); Basso56 for fine Italian; and Guantanamera for Caribbean and Cuban fare. The famous Russian Tea Room is only a 10-minute walk away.

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

As a guest at The Moderne, you can use Gold's Gym, about 1 block away, at a discount.

Overview

Art lovers, take note: Everything about The Moderne--a chic boutique hotel around the corner from Broadway in Midtown Manhattan--says "originality." Here you can experience the city in style, with décor based on the 1950s Color Field art movement, personalized service, and proximity to America's most vibrant theater and art scenes. You're just 2 blocks from the Theatre District--so pick a show and make an afternoon of it. You can also visit the Museum of Modern Art or the American Folk Art Museum, just 2 of multiple museums within a 10-minute walk. For some classic New York sightseeing, stroll in Central Park, 4 blocks away, or spin on the ice at Rockefeller Center, 10 minutes by cab.

When hunger strikes, you'll find dozens of fantastic restaurants just outside The Moderne. Ethnic eateries abound, with Japanese, Italian, and Caribbean cuisines all within a 5-minute walk. For classic New York fare, go to the famous Carnegie Deli (also 5 minutes away on foot), where you can see autographed celebrity photos while downing a "Woody Allen" corned beef and pastrami sandwich. At the Divine Bar, around the block from the hotel, you can sample fruit beer and spicy-sweet Cinnamon-Cranberry Sangria. Back at the hotel, cozy up to the fireplace with a cocktail or glass of wine in the communal lounge.

The intimate, European-style Moderne prides itself on personalizing service. Rely on the 24-hour front desk for concierge services, such as ticket-booking and transportation arrangements, and business services including faxing and copying. The hotel library provides computers and workspace. If you've brought a laptop, you can access the Internet via free wireless, available throughout the hotel.

The Moderne's 40 sophisticated Hotel Rooms are also personal in feel. Each is graced with Andy Warhol's iconic portrait of Marilyn Monroe and Charles Eames-inspired black and white woven carpets. Kick back on the oversized bed with tufted white-leather headboard, and enjoy the 42-inch flat-panel TV with premium channels. Freshen up in luxury, in the refurbished bathroom with stainless steel tiles, backlit mirrors, and designer bath amenities.
