The Millennium UN Plaza is located on the east side of Midtown. It is roughly 1 block from the United Nations. When you first arrive at this hotel, you must have your bags checked at the door by security. This is standard.
From here you enter the beautiful lobby. The lobby is adorned with reflective glass and lighting. With it being the holiday season, there was a beautiful Christmas tree in the center. Once we checked in, we made our way to the 38th floor and our room. The room was small but not bad for NYC standards. Since there were three of us, we had an extra cot brought in and still had plenty of room to move around. The room itself seemed to have a modern Asian flair. It had a closet for hanging our clothing and storing our luggage. It also had a spacious bathroom and shower. The only complaint about the shower would be that the shower head could have been a few inches higher. The view from the panoramic windows were breathtaking. We had a view of the Queensboro Bridge and of the old Pepsi Co. sign, which can be seen best at night. The staff at the hotel was great. The concierge, Shawn, was awesome. He was a great help in setting up our car service to the airport. The doormen, Edward and Robert, were knowledgeable and helpful. And the front desk accommodated any request we made. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel.
