In a city of millions of people, the Iroquois hotel makes you feel like you're not just another traveler. My 8 year old daughter and I traveled to NYC (an hour from our home) for a mother-daughter weekend. When I reserved online, I let the hotel know I'd be coming with an 8 year old. The concierge called the ask about our plans and offered a more comfortable room than the one I had chosen online. When we arrived, everyone from the door man to the bell boy (okay, he was definitely not a boy--at least 70 years old, but you know what I mean) to the front desk staff was helpful and friendly. Our room was recently renovated with outrageously comfy beds (down comforters, poofy pillows, delightful mattress) and a marble bath. The bell boy/ man showed us where everything was and was so sweet. The room was smallish if you have a family of 4, but for two it was absolutely fine. THe only thing that was not divine about the room was the view--we looked out on a fire escape, but we didn't really care because we were only in the room to sleep. On my daughter's bed, the staff had left an adorable child-size bathrobe and slippers, a coloring book, a Slinky, a Kids Time Out New York magazine and other odds and ends. The concierge left me a folder of great kid-friendly activities and coupons and VIP passes. It was pouring, and the door man determined that my umbrella was way too small, so he presented us with an oversized Iroquois umbrella. Dessert was tasty, but continental bfast should have a reduced rate for kids who only eat one muffin with glass of juice.

The Iriquois was a wonderful hotel for my first pleasure trip to New York with my elderly mother. The location was within walking distance of most everywhere we wanted to go, but off the beaten path so that it wasn't crazy and noisy all of the time. All of the staff were very friendly and accomodating. The restaurant, Triomphe, was definitely five stars. The rooms were a little small, but I understand that is most if not alll hotels in Manhattan. All in all, a very pleasant experience!

The Iroquois rivals any five-star hotel I've stayed in, but without the "stuffiness" which can sometimes detract from one's overall experience at a Ritz-Carlton or Peninsula or such. I strongly recommend you give it try, and guarantee you will not be disappointed.

This hotel was fantastic. The rooms are very nice, clean and spacious by New York standards. The location is ideal for Times Square, Theatres, and 5th Ave. shopping. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. I will stay here every time I'm in Manhattan.

What a gem in Manhattan! The rooms are midtown size (read compact) but they were nicely updated and clean. It's close to everything, really quiet and had a wonderful staff. Room service breakfast is a great Manhattan deal...
