24 Hours In NY...the best part.

The hotel allowed an early check in. From the moment we walked into the hotel an ethereal calm drifted into us. It felt like we were in an undersea world, subdued lighting, blues, whites, stark satisfying decor all around. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The room had a view, not of another building 10 feet away, but it was a clear view of a city block.

Walking through the winding corridor brought to mind an ocean liner with portholes on room doors. The ship theme continued in the room with porthole cut outs next to each bed holding a telephone and bedside light. The bathroom was tiled from floor to ceiling in rough mossy squares. Soft yet striking designer features from light fixtures to the sink and bath products were welcoming after a sweltering city day.

Though you are in the most fabulous city in the world....you could easily stay in the room and order room service, or treat yourself to an incredibly stocked mini bar. Soft down comforters to cuddle and comfort as you settle into the quiet of a beautifully designed space....all yours for the night.

I have stayed here now 6 or 7 times and it never disappoints me. Coming from the other side of the world and checking into the Royalton gives you the instant New York experience. From the fantastic bar running the length of the lobby all the way to the very modern rooms. Be aware that some of the rooms are smallish (although perhaps not by New York standards). A drink in the bar is an absolute must just to watch the beautiful people.... The hotel location is fantastic, just a couple of blocks from Broadway. This is a great place to stay. When checking out , if going to the airport, insist on a Yellow Cab if you want a taxi - the doorman will try and put you into a black limo insisting it is 'almost' the same cost as a taxi- believe me it is much more expensive and the doorman takes a kickback from the driver - a small point and common also in the other hotels I have stayed in.

Royalton is a great hotel. Would not change a thing! First hotel I have stayed at that delivers everything in its description/pictures online.

Very cool. Very dark. Very trendy. Great nightlife. Would be an ideal spot for couples. A stay up all night, sleep all day kind of place. Small rooms -- but then everything in New York -- space wise -- seemed small.
