"I chose The New Yorker Hotel not for convenience, but out of respect—for history, for place, for legacy. Location matters, but legacy matters more. This building has both. The first impression is immediate: the 1929 Art Deco lobby—grand, geometric, disciplined. It speaks quietly, but with authority. The front desk mirrors that tone: fast, professional, efficient. No excess. Purpose achieved. We visited Nikola Tesla’s former rooms, marked by plaques noting he spent the final ten years of his life here. Standing there, you feel the weight of ideas conceived far ahead of their time—created in solitude above a city charged with ambition. The hotel functions like a well-designed system: Tick Tock Diner—open 24 hours, constant and reliable. Butcher & Banker—a restrained, precise steakhouse below. Trattoria off the lobby—a space for pause and conversation. Nearly a century old, the hotel remains clean, well staffed, and thoughtfully maintained. It doesn’t disguise its age; it honors it. No waste. No noise. Just structure and continuity. This isn’t merely a place to sleep. It’s a place where ideas once lived—and still hum beneath the surface. Like alternating current, its brilliance lies not in volume, but in permanence. For those drawn to history, architecture, efficiency, and quiet greatness, The New Yorker Hotel remains exactly what it was meant to be."

"Loved the staff. Attractive rooms. Odd that they don’t have in-room coffee. But they do have a little fridge, and if you ask for a kettle you might get one."

"Selected the Quad room. It was clean and quiet. Twin bunk beds were a bit firm, but the full size was perfect. Sheets were hard, but plenty of pillows. Room needs more electrical outlets and the towel warmers really didn't work. Only thing was sink was filthy like it hadn't been cleaned in days. I liked the secure access to rooms. Bar area was a bit small and closed too early for a Saturday night. Breakfast brunch wax lacking but reasonable for the price. Overall i would stay here again because its clean, close enough to the theater district and Times Square."

"The buffet breakfast is espectacular. The hotel is centrally located, well maintain and the staff is really friendly"

"Room was spotless, cleaned daily with fresh towels and bedding. "

"We absolutely loved Element New York Times Square. The staff was very friendly - the breakfast buffet was outstanding and our room had so many amenities. This hotel is a hidden gem - it is the best place to stay in NYC!"

"The room was spotless and roomy. Staff was professional and courteous."

"Staff were very helpful, very convenient location. The showers were a little dirty like they hadn’t been wiped down but that’s all. Beds were comfortable and they even upgraded our room for us to a family suit. Overall was a good stay"
