Recent New York Palace Review: "I spent a long time choosing this hotel and looked at previous reviews before making my decision.this was going to be a surprise 25th wedding anniversary present for my wife so i wanted to make sure it would be special.I origionally booked a room in the main hotel due to the towers part being more expensive,however i found that an offer appeared on  hotel.com 2 weeks before i was going to travel and swiftly booked a room in the towers section of the hotel and was so pleased that i did. The Towers section has an executive suite on the 39th floor which allows access to tower guests only. this facility was amazing allowing drinks and food +breakfast all free of charge at certain times of the day.The executive suite also allowed you to take drinks and snacks to your room to save paying for items in the mini bar. The Towers section has its own booking in area and lifts which made you feel really special The service was excellent and our concierge Gunter gave us good advice on things to see and places to go nothing was too much trouble. if you are looking to stay at this hotel all I can say is BOOK IT. We had an amazing time the hotel has everything you could wish for its clean the rooms are amazing and I cant wait to stay again ."

Overview
Experience the royal treatment at the New York Palace, a landmark luxury hotel with an ideal Midtown setting. This Madison Avenue hotel comprises the 19th-century Villard Mansion, built for financier Henry Villard, and a modern, 55-story tower overlooking St. Patrick's Cathedral. Fashionable Fifth Avenue is just 1 block west. Treat yourself to the latest designer looks from Saks Fifth Avenue, just steps away. If you're traveling with your "princess," visit the American Girl Place, a 5-minute walk, then take in magical views from the Top of the Rock Observation Deck at Rockefeller Center, Midtown's crown jewel. When the stars come out, catch a Broadway show; the Theater District is about a 5-minute ride.

The New York Palace is a destination in itself. The original Villard Mansion is built around an iron-gated courtyard aglow with Florentine lanterns. Walk through the courtyard to enter the palatial lobby with sweeping staircases and Tiffany stained glass. The renowned GILT restaurant, awarded an extraordinary 2 Michelin stars, is housed in the mansion's original drawing room with artwork and craftsmanship from the Gilded Age. Istana, in the lobby, serves bistro-style cuisine for breakfast, lunch, and weekend brunch. Weather permitting, you can dine alfresco at the Palace Gate restaurant, in the courtyard facing St. Patrick's.

Enjoy cathedral views, too, from the state-of-the-art fitness center. Or indulge in a spa treatment like the Chardonnay Sugar Scrub. Refreshed and ready to take on the town? The Palace offers complimentary shuttle service to the Theater District Tuesday - Saturday evenings, as well as to Wall Street weekday mornings. Reservations are strongly advised. Just ask the multilingual concierge team, members of the prestigious Les Clefs d'Or, to help with shuttle reservations, theater tickets, and just about anything else you desire.

Your spacious Hotel Rooms is a tranquil retreat from the Midtown bustle. Beds are layered with luxury linens. Pour yourself a drink from the minibar, or order a full meal from the 24-hour room-service menu. Watch your favorite HBO show on the plasma TV. You can check email via wireless or wired high-speed Internet access. The marble bathroom is stocked with Molton Brown amenities. Turndown service is provided each evening. Many rooms offer views of St. Patrick's Cathedral and the surrounding cityscape.
