The Lucerne Hotel

This European-inspired boutique hotel is ideal for guests who prefer to be away from the tourist hustle and bustle, yet within easy reach of the New York's best shopping, parks, and cultural venues. Central Park and the American Museum of Natural History are two blocks east; Riverside Park is three blocks west. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim, and other must-see museums are about a mile from the Lucerne.

The hotel is 100-percent smoke-free. In addition to an on-site fitness center, the Lucerne offers spa services, massages, and treatments. A business center has computers with high-speed Internet access. Copying, printing, and faxing are available for surcharges.
