SoHo Hotel Guide - Historic Hotels in SoHo, New York

"Good choice, near Time Square, Clean, Friendly Staff and a Quiet Room for a good night rest. We did miss coffee/tea available in the room however. First Hotel ever that did not provide this basic amenity. Dr. Hendrik and Sandra Venter New Zealand"

"There are a couple of things I would like to address before you book here. My stay was terrible… not only did I feel like I was racially profiled but I was rudely woken up about 3 times in the middle of the night by phone calls and our tv did not work… when we checked in to the hotel where were heading to our hotel room and we were asked to show our key car amongst about three white family. I understand that the security has to ask to check your key which is fine but it becomes excessive to where every time when I went downstairs no one was asked but me and my partner. Another incident happened when all the seats were taken in the lobby keep in mind it was like 90 degrees outside in the city heat and I’ve been walking alot and I needed to charge my phone I asked the bellhop if I could charge my phone in the lobby he told me i could sit and charge it that was fine it’s when another man in a suit came toward my partner and I and was told to stand up because he didn’t want to the owner of the hotel to see that we are sitting on the floor yet again there was also another family (white) sitting on the floor and nothing was told to them it made us uncomfortable. This is also my second stay here there first time we got asked excessively about our key card but we thought it was normal. Now that this is my second stay I see that it’s targeted. I will not be stay here again…"

"The hotel is in a fantastic area to walk everywhere or take the subway. Staff were awesome as well. The rooms need updated hence 4 stars on property section. No issues or concerns while there. We appreciate that the staff out front let us know NOT to use the pedal cart people! Ty for that valuable info. "

"Great place "

"We have been staying at The Empire 1-2 times per year for 15 years to attend the ballet at Lincoln Center. It is a simple walk across the street to the theater, and there are plenty of dining options nearby. We have always been happy with our room, the staff is excellent and gracious. I highly recommend the hotel."

"They are under renovation so the lobby area is a bit crazy busy. That said they are really doing the best job managing things. We loved our stay. "

"One of the best hotels I ever started in"
