Join the in crowd at this Ian Schrager hotel. Designed by Philippe Starck, the Royalton raised the bar on hipness when it opened a decade ago. Every detail is just so, from the stylish vodka bar to the lobby lounge where guests recline on cushioned steps to the small, minimalist guest rooms with mod...

During the '90s, the lobby restaurant 44 started the craze of local A-listers meeting and greeting in hotel boîtes. Although many of the movers and shakers have moved on, the minimalist Philippe Starck space with its sumptuous sofas and secluded Vodka Bar still gives off a cool vibe. Before yo...

This cutting-edge classic was conceived by the late Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager. It has been dubbed the most visually exciting hotel of the decade. The hyper-stylish lobby more resembles a fashion catwalk than a traditional reception/checkout area. The velvet-lined bar sits inside the open-style 4...

Fluted, multi story columns, an icy smooth door, and handsome doormen dressed in flowing black. While the equally elderly Algonquin across the street has preserved its past, the Royalton built in 1898 has leapt to the forefront of cutting edge, with the help of hotelier Ian Schrager and designer Phi...

Haa haa! - user review
I don't want to talk too much about the royalton. But in a few words: this is an excellent comfortable and classy hotel. The lobby, once you find the 'hidden building' is a treat for the senses. I booked the penthouse suite and enjoyed it for the night. No high traffic on my floor or in the hotel. I...

Wouldn´t do it again... - user review
I went with my girlfriend to The Royalton to stay for a weekend two weeks ago and chose the Alcove suite, given that is their largest room. I was very disappointed with the room, as the place lacked color and vivid light, it was gloomy and very monotonic, albeit its white chairs and fabrics. The bat...

The Best Hotel In NYC - user review
My Girlfriend and I checked into Royalton in Midtown Manhattan in March and the staff was amazing.

She said yes.To celebrate, we enjoyed a romantic Room Se...

Terrific Location and Friendly Service - user review
The hotel is located 1.5 blocks from Time Square, so is a terrific spot for people who are going to NY for the theater. The front desk people and the bellmen are extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms and amenities were very good, although they could use some art work on the walls of the rooms. A...

A groovy hotel - user review
The Royalton hotel is ideally situated for sight seeing in the big apple. The hotel is located on West 44th Street between 5th and 6th avenue and just 2 blocks from Times Square. The hotel; does not have a grand neon light type entrance; in fact its entry is rather stark and somewhat uninviting. How...

Go for upgraded room - user review
This was a really nice hotel that was perfectly placed. However, the view is very limited unless you are on the upper floors. The rooms are not as big as you would expect, so it would probably be a good idea to go for a room with a King size bed. Otherwise the hotel was great and the location was pe...

I was disappointed. Everything about this hotel is dark. The lobby, the hallways, even the rooms gave insufficient light. Unsure what mood or atmosphere they're going for, but I found it to be annoying. Rooms have insufficient drawer space and we basically lived out of our suitcases instead of unpac...

I'd never stay at the Royalton again. Dark, dreary, loud. The location is great and the bathrooms in the rooms were nice.
