Great place to stay for Lincoln Ctr performances
Very comfortable accomodations and ideal if you are in town to attend a performance at the Koch Theater across the street. The hotel is surrounded by nice restaurants and eateries. Very nice ambiance, as well.

Great location in NYC. Clean rooms and helpful service. The hotel shows signs of aging, but it's kept up fairly well. The bar was closed, which was a bit surprising. We appreciated the hotel staff.

Decent hotel near Lincoln Center.
The Empire Hotel was very good overall. Great location, as we were going to Lincoln Center. Very clean. Room and bathroom were uncomfortably small. Room was too warm and I couldn't turn off the heat. Staff was friendly.

Over all nice but needs some maintenance
Staff were very friendly and helpful. The heat in th rooms was very hot (had to open windows that had no safety measures for falling out) and seemed out of th guest’s control. There was no coffee in th rooms.

I checked in late (around midnight) on Christmas, and the gentleman at the front desk couldn't have been kinder or more professional. I felt very taken care of and a true rapport. The hotel is lucky to have such a personable, thoughtful, kind representative.

This hotel is extremely dated and poorly kept up. The staff was friendly and the stay was relatively uneventful.
