Nestled in a private corner of West 63rd Street between two legendary New York City landmarks – Lincoln Center and Central Park – the Empire Hotel offers four star boutique luxury accommodations overlooking the Broadway / Columbus Avenue gateway to the Upper West Side. Location is essential to the spirit of this Manhattan hotel, and a recent renovation was inspired by the earth tones found in Central Park enhanced with an interior motif inspired by the stately modernism of Lincoln Center.
The Empire offers the warmth and elegance of European style hotels, with state of the art conveniences and amenities you expect from a top notch hotel. The 420 richly appointed guest rooms represent a new standard in New York City boutique hotel accommodations. Each room assimilates earth tones from Central Park and the dignified modernism of Lincoln Center to provide effortlessly sophisticated comfort. Beds draped in Belgian linen embody restful elegance, while animal-print cushions contribute edgy accents. Rest and unwind in the virtuoso comfort of The Empire Hotel!
As for location, with Central Park steps away and Lincoln Center right next door, the Empire is ideally suited for guests seeking a West Side experience only minutes from the bustling Midtown commercial district, Fifth and Madison Avenues Shopping, the Broadway Theater District and the ever vibrant Times Square.
For some quiet relaxation head for the rooftop pool deck. The sun, moon and stars are the canopy and the pleasures are all yours as you refresh yourself in the plunge pool or just bask in the warmth of the sun or the glow of the moon. The Empire also offers private cabana rentals featuring flat screen TV’s, mini refrigerators, iPod docking stations with speakers, ceiling fans and daybeds. The Pool Deck menu has refreshing food and beverage options as well as spa services.
The Empire Lobby Bar offers a hip and romantic setting for that pre or post dinner drink. Try one of the signature cocktails or select from the menu of outstanding wine and champagne offerings. Best of all, famed restaurateur Jeffrey Chodorow operates a lavish steakhouse, Center Cut, located on the second floor.
