A dream of a room with a separate sitting area. And staff, housekeeping, front desk-- excellent. . But nothing tops the porters at the door, as elegant as any you'll find on Park Avenue. Elevating the entire experience. And that goes for the restaurant attached, as well, Nice Matin. Don't miss it for dinner. Beautiful setting, Fabulous meal. Great cocktails. Steak frites was yummy! As were the mussels. We skipped desert and went around the corner on Amsterdam for some phenomenal gelato. Missed lunch and their croque madame. next time! For breakfast you've got the perfect bagel shop catty corner. Grab a bagel and coffee and head to the park, right up 79th street. Which will immediately transport you to every NY movie scene that you love. At Columbus enter the park, continue on at CPW and 80th. Thank you Hotel Lucerne. We'll be back!

We have stayed at the Lucerne several times since 2002 and will return. We enjoy the neighborhood vibe of the Upper West Side and the Lucerne is conveniently located near Central Park, great restaurants and interesting shopping. Subway stations are conveniently located one block away at the corner of 79th Street and Broadway and at the corner of 81st Street and Central Park West. The hotel itself is clean and quiet and staff is professional and helpful. We are more than pleased with The Lucerne Hotel.

Very nice hotel, reminds me of a hotel in Paris. Rooms are nice & clean. Good location, away from the hustle & bustle of Times Square, but very conveniently located near the train station. Took just 1 train to get to Broadway & Statue of Liberty. Also only a 5 minute walk to American Museum of Natural History. There’s a 24 hour market right across the street. Will be back & highly recommend!
