Powered by AI
The Shelburne Sonesta impresses many guests with its spacious rooms, a definite plus in New York City, and several appreciate the well-equipped kitchenette, complete with a coffee maker and even wine glasses. Its location proves convenient, being within walking distance of the Empire State Building and Grand Central. The rooftop bar with its 360-degree views is a particular highlight for many; however, some guests have noted that the illumination in the rooms could be better.

Fantastic midtown stay!

warm welcome helpful staff spacious room convenient location
I was welcomed SO warmly, and the staff were helpful. The room was a great size. It felt very spacious. I appreciated the coffee machine in the room. The Murray Hill location was quiet, and I was close to the ferry to Dumbo. That was convenient.
I thought the fridge stocked with drinks could have included water without charging extra. It seemed a bit stingy.
Dining
9/10
The street-level restaurant, Take Care, offered AMAZING breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. Vintage Green, the rooftop bar and restaurant, provided fabulous views. There was also a good choice of restaurants on 3rd street, if I did not want to eat in the hotel.
Rooms

The room featured a kitchenette, very useful. I found the beds comfortable, and I slept well. The room was also cleaned daily, which I appreciated. There were USB and USB-C sockets, so I did not need adapters.
Service

The front desk staff was GREAT. They were friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Doormen were always cute when arriving and when storing luggage. I got my room before the check-in time. Free snacks at reception were also a PLUS!!!
