Hotel was clean. Door staff adequate. Nice Matin restaurant on site very convenient and very good. Plenty of fine dining options within blocks. Ditto buses and subways. Neighborhood felt safe. A little touristy.

This hotel was lovely! Beautiful classic architecture and style hotel a couple blocks from the park and one block (79th station) from the subway- so you can get to anywhere in NYc quickly. The staff was kind and helpful- we arrived early than check in and they were happy to out our name on the waitlist to check in as soon as our room was available. They allowed us to keep our bags without a fee, so we can begin exploring. The room was clean and a great size, and truly just an overall lovely stay. Would highly recommend and we would stay again! Thank you Hotel Lucerne!

Great hotel, great location.

Great location in a very historic and nicely renovated building. Smaller but comfortable rooms with top quality bedding and towels. Adjoining is the Nice Matin restaurant - top notch for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In addition, all kinds of dining, coffee and cocktail opportunities with 2 blocks, and we felt comfortable on the street, although we were generally back at the hotel by 10:00. The neighborhood is vibrant and busy - and very normal. Subway just a block away to go afield, and lots of Uber available for alternate travel. Walking distance to Museum of Natural History, Central Park, and even the Met Museum.

Great location and friendly atmosphere

The location is surrounded by restaurants with convenient hours, within easy walking distance. It's a 10-minute walk to the Museum of Natural History/Central park, just a 5 minute walk to the 79th St Subway on the red line. It took us about 30-40 mins by metro transit to get downtown to meetings--a fraction of the time it would have taken by car, and a fraction of the cost.
