“Great place to stay..”
This is my second stay at the hotel. Boutique hotel in upper west side. Great restaurant next door that rocks with hip people. Hotel service is great. Very calming place too compared to hotels with unsophisticated travelers on bus tours. This caters to a great clientele. Rooms vary in size. One time in had a huge suite This time in had a bedroom with 2 double beds. Very comfortable Great water pressure in the shower too In total a great place to stay.
“Will definitely return”
We love staying on the UWS and found the Lucerne was a great hotel for us. The location was fantastic, of course; the room was large, sunny, updated, comfortable, quiet. All in all...hard to beat. We will return next time we're in New York!
“good location, very attractive accomodations”
my only complaint is that expedia did not relay my request for a quiet room. fortunately, I called 1 month in advance and registered my request, which was honored. the hotel is in a superb location for transportation to the theater district via subway or the east side (via cross town bus). Good restos nearby, + Zabars, Harry's Shoes, movie theater, small shops etc. I will return.
“Great location...”
..couldn't be better placed to enjoy New York away from the rest of the tourists.
“Charming Hotel”
Just returned from a 3 day break in New York with my friend and daughter. We were very impressed with every aspect of this hotel. From the moment we stepped inside the lobby, we were made to feel very welcome. The rooms are very tastefully decorated, the beds very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The subway is a 2 minute walk away and just 4 stops to Times Square. The area felt very safe and we all agreed that we would definately stay at the Lucerne again.
“Great Location”
Love the Upper West Side and all the surrounding restaurants on Amsterdam Avenue. Rooms are clean and have all required amenities including complimentary Wi-Fi. The equipment in the fitness center was new and worked well. Only issue is that our Queen room was very small. But then how much time do you spend in your hotel room in New York?
“Stay here on each NYC trip”
I have stayed here three times and am suitably impressed each time. They are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are very nicely decorated and clean and a decent size.
“Not impressed”
I found the hotel to be way below the quality that I had expected after looking at the pictures on the website. The cost was very high for three nights and I was supposed to be in a "suite". The "suite" was no bigger than a large bathroom and housed a well worn couch and well worn carpeting. Upon looking out every window of my "suite" I was confronteded with a view of a brick wall from another building next to the hotel. I had to look up into a corner to see if the sun was shining. The bathroom was very small and when I was drying my hair and my daughter was using another outlet to dry her hair - in a different room - at the same time we lost electricity. It is unfortunate that they rate themselves so highly. If you want to get downtown you need to take a subway, which was convenient or a cab which is expensive. The concierge didn't know the neighborhood at all and referred us to a diner that didn't exist where he said it did. Staff didn't seem to have knowledge of the area or good places to eat, etc. etc.
“great neighborhood - location , location, location”
wonderful location - fabulous restaurants - near subway, and bus lines
“Sisters' Weekend”
We had a 2 bed suite - a wonderful stay at the Lucerne, the staff couldn't have been any more accomodating and freindly from the front desk, bellmen and housekeeping staff.Would absolutely recommend to anyone staying in NYC - only 1block from subway and very easy to drive to. Thank You to all of the staff.

Area:
Upper West Side, New York, United States of America: Some bemoan that the Upper West Side has become a version of the Upper East Side. Case in point: Columbus Circles Time Warner Center, one of New Yorks priciest real estate. The Upper West Side includes the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, the American Museum of Natural History, and Columbia University. Harlem, the legendary African American neighborhood, lies north and caps Manhattan.
