While hotel is located in a more residential area of New York, it is very close to Central park, museum of Natural History, and not far from Lincoln Center, and lots of good restaurants and shops but without the craziness of mid-town. And subway is only half a block away, which gets you everywhere easily (10 minutes to Times Square).... more

My family loved this hotel. It seems exclusive, but at the same time you are made to feel extremely comfortable. Staff is friendly, rooms are adequately spacious and well appointed. Most importantly, the rooms were clean and comfortable and the hotel is located in a great part of town. The upper west side has a number of fantastic restaurants and... more

My husband and I stayed at the Lucerne Hotel for three nights, from November 13-16, 2009. We had a standard room with King size bed - nothing to write home about, certainly not luxurious, but clean and quiet. As others have all mentioned, this hotel should not be confused with a 4 or 5 star luxury hotel, but it is... more

For our first 3 nights in NYC (Dec 25 - 28) we stayed at a midtown hotel. For the last 2 nights we moved up to the Upper Westside because the rates were considerably less because of New Years. We were looking for a clean, comfortable hotel with rooms big enough to hold our luggage. The Lucerne was perfect! The... more

The previous reviews on Trip Advisor were correct! The Lucerne is a great place to stay. The staff is very helpful. I like the small size instead of a hotel with 1000 rooms. The subway (Number 1 - the main North-South line) at 79th St. is a 3-4 minute walk. The museum of Natural History is 2 blocks. Central Park... more

The Lucerne Hotel is a great choice for visitors to NYC. I have used Tripadvisor for several leisure trips and as a business traveller used to staying in 5* hotels around the world I can get a bit picky. The Lucerne met all expectations from the reviews, especially the service which was excellent. It is located close to the subway,... more

The Lucerne Hotel on the Upper West Side is nice! It is priced well, clean, friendly staff, nice rooms and baths, great location with subway 1 short block away. Walk out the door and there are many choices for good food. Coppola's across the street good for dinner, Manhattan Diner a couple of blocks away good breakfast choice. Sara Beth's... more

A family event at a hotel on the Upper East Side took us to New York. We had heard that the Upper West Side was convenient and not so frenetic. The Lucerne came highly recommended from friends in the area. We were not disappointed. Located only a few blocks from the W. 79th St. exit of the Henry Hudson Pkwy,... more
