The Lucerne is a lovely hotel, in a great location for access to wonderful neighborhood restaurants, museums, as well as for Columbia and Barnard. Rooms are very quiet and comfortable. Easy to walk to Central Park, Riverside Park. Subway to midtown and downtown a block away. Lots of taxis. Staff is helpful and friendly at all times.

I was delighted to have an unexpected upgrade to my room; this is a classy hotel with extremely helpful staff. Its location gave me the opportunity to also discover the nightlife on Amsterdam Avenue with a couple of old friends. In addition, it's a pleasant taxi ride across Central Park to one of my favorite museums, the Metropolitan.

My husband and I were referred to this hotel by a friend who formerly lived in the area. This was our 3rd visit to NYC and we will definately return to the Lucerne! The location is perfect and the hotel is highly upgraded with a lovely (albeit small) bathroom with good lighting and a window which opened! We were upgraded... More

I love this hotel. The staff is incredible - they make you feel right at home and welcome the second you enter. They make guests feel special. More pros - free fitness center. Very nice restaurant downstairs. This is my second stay and I've been lucky both times to get good deals. I recommend this hotel to everyone I know... More

I love staying at this boutique style hotel. We've come to New York a lot in the past two years and finally found this hotel that we love. The location is close to Barnard College where our daughter attends school. There are many sites within walking distance, transit is near and the doorman hails cabs for you. The room are... More

Wonderful boutique hotel with exceptional staff that are very attentive to your every need. The rooms were spotless, very well decorated with classic furnishings. The Lucerne is a stone's throw from the Museum of Natural History and Central Park.

What a great hotel! Rooms are small but comfy...great beds and great showers! Would be perfect if hair dryers were a bit better and rooms had magnifying mirrors! But, for the price, it doesn't get much better!

This is a well run hotel in a very convenient location with a subway station on one corner and a crosstown bus stop on the other. It is even possible to walk to Lincoln Center! Be sure to check out special offers on their website. If you're an auto club member, you'll enjoy a nice discount. Our room was large,... More

I stayed two nights recently and while it was no frills, it was close to Central Park and within easy walking distance of multiple attractions. I even walked back to the hotel after seeing "Kinky Boots" in the theater district, a walk that took me past the Ed Sullivan Theatre, Lincoln Center, Columbus Circle, Magnolia Bakery, and enough landmarks to...
