My 9 year old daughter and 67 year old mother and I stayed at the Bryant Park May 13 to 16th to celebrate my 40th birthday. While we were outside all day every day, we were thrilled to come back to the hotel when we could no longer stay awake. The rooms were incredibly clean, modern, beautiful, and very spacious. Our rooms faced the park and it was a lovely view. The bathrooms were heavenly. The turndown service and chocolates were thoughtful. We loved it!!
The location of the hotel is second to none. It was so wonderful having our breakfast in the lovely park each morning and to return to that tranquility at the end of each day. The hotel staff were ALWAYS warm, friendly, and genuinely helpful. The lobby, elevators, restaurants, and bar were cool, appealing, and yet not pretentious. I never did make it into the bar to have a drink --so disappointed as this was one of the reasons I chose the hotel --because I was too exhausted at the end of each day. And the beds were SO comfortable and welcoming! But it was fun to walk through the line outside to get into the hotel and see the beautiful people in line.
We walked everywhere --5 mins to Times Square, Grand Central Station, 10 minutes to Rockefeller Center, 10 minutes to St. Patricks Cathedral, 3 minutes to Lord & Taylor, 10 minutes to Saks, etc. We saw New York from the seaport to the top of Central Park and only took the subway 3 times --we walked everywhere else.
A special thank you to the manager, Darren, who communicated with me several times when I was looking to book the hotel and worked SO hard to put together accommodations that would work for our oddball group (mom has snoring issues). Very much appreciated. We all said that we cannot wait to come back to the Bryant Park Hotel, including mom who is the fussiest traveler ever!
