We arrived at the Sofitel New York on Christmas Eve for our first trip to the city. I was pleasently suprised by the exterior, as websites show a new, tall. glass building, however the entrance is the original Edwardian facade, as are the lobby and reception area, all of which were beautifully decorated for Christmas. It is only after you... more

Stayed at Sofitel over Thanksgiving 2008 with my sister for four nights. The reception area is very welcoming and the staff courteous and polite. We had a room on the 21st floor and had no problem with street noise at all. Views were good. The hotel is superbly situated very close walking distance to 5th Ave, Times Square with good... more

My husband and I stayed here for a week over Christmas - we both loved the hotel. On arrival, we were greeted by friendly reception staff who informed us that we had been upgraded as it was my birthday! We had a lovely room on the 27th floor with an amazing view of the Crysler building. The room was perfect... more

We recently stayed at the Sofitel for the fourth time for a five night break. All of the staff were excellent, in particular Metti. Metti made us feel at home from start to finish. As usual, the Sofitel is ideally located in the heart of everything to do in New York. We thoroughlly enjoyed our stay. Mary and Eddie more

The Sofitel was a nice, clean hotel in NYC, but very pricey. Rooms are modern and clean with large bathrooms and nice TV's. We got a room on the 21st floor with a good view of the city. The bed and linens were very comfy. The lobby's not much to look at and seems worn. The best thing about the... more

Just finished our weekend getaway at the Sofitel and it was average. Obiviously the room was small. We booked a luxury king room on the 16th floor. At night you can here the water running down from the upper floors everytime someone used the bathroom. The shower had a temperature lock on it so that you can't turn the water... more

As a little background this will be my fifth consecutive stay at the Sofitel in New York City. For the past five years my wife and I have stayed at the hotel because of the location, charm, and service and quality of rooms. The first two years (reviews posted) the service was impeccable and without question the staff would ensure... more

I travel to NYC on business a few times a year. I've stayed at Hilton on Sixth, Sheraton, Plaza, Grand Hyatt, Waldorf, and Kitano. Sofitel, dollar for dollar, beats them all by a mile. Terrific location. Quiet and elegant lobby, if not a grand one in the classic tradition. Good-sized rooms, nicely appointed with quality furniture and touches, and generously-sized... more

I just finished my first stay in NYC at the Sofitel (two nights, Sunday and Monday). Over the years, I have probably stayed at 20 hotels in NYC. Many are just mediocre and the city itself seems to take a toll on hotels. The Sofitel is a great experience for midtown Manhattan. The room is larger than a closet, and... more
