The Carlyle, A Rosewood Hotel

I booked a night for my wife and I to celebrate her 50th birthday. I made a one sentence mention in the booking (via their website) The hotel upgraded us to a suite, had ballon (several round ballon’s, plus a 5 and a 0), cake, desserts, and a card waiting for my wife! They went way above and really made it special. Also, as a guest you can more easily get into Bemelmans piano bar, a very NYC experience. Will definitely go back, next time will book the dinner show in the restaurant. Thank you, Carlyle. (Btw also got upgraded at the rosewood in Bermuda. !)

I’m lost for words … if you want to step back in time to a Hollywood movie and experience unparalleled service, the Carlyle is for you. I spent 4 nights here when I eloped to New York to get married and it was impeccable start to finish. Any hotel that has a manned elevator is for me ! The bar is just elegant, stylish and a must visit. However just be mindful it’s small and has a great reputation with New Yorkers so it’s not always easy to get a table. This hotel is oozing personality and class and if you stand still long enough you are certain to see a celebrity or two ! We stayed in a suite and every whim was catered for . If you have a special occasion coming up this must be on your list. Ps start saving now 🙈

After watching the documentary “Always at the Carlyle” it was a dream of mine to stay here. My week long visit to this elegant New York hotel did not disappoint. The suite was spectacular, breakfast absolutely delicious and Bemelmans bar lived up to its glamorous reputation. However, the real highlights of this hotel are the wonderful staff. Cannot speak highly enough of everyone we had the pleasure to meet including Julie at Concierge, Leon at Bemelmans and Eric at reception. Special thanks had to go to Leslie Salinas and Ernesto. Leslie’s customer service was second to none and she went to extra effort to make our stay special. Ernesto is a class act, a gentleman and a friendly face to see you off at the start of the day and welcome you home. The Carlyle did not disappoint and we will certainly be back!!

We stayed at the hotel during the U.S. Open and while it was bustling, it never felt overcrowded and maintained an air of quiet luxury. Service: At the doors, front desk, and elevators it was always helpful and friendly; we appreciated the free car service to dinner one evening. Location: Fabulous for shopping or strolling to Central Park Room: For a New York hotel it was spacious and comfortable; bright, modern and elegant with just-slightly-whimsical New York art that we loved. We were just there over a weekend and never ate on site, but for a weekend getaway in the City it was perfect.

Just returned after a 4 night stay at The Carlyle and had the most wonderful time. The staff were very professional but warm and welcoming. We had a Madison view room and it was spacious and the bed extremely comfortable. The food was delicious, the cocktails and jazz at Bemelman’s was fantastic. Was everything perfect? No, however the staff were quick to help or correct anything that wasn’t quite right and we couldn’t have asked for more. Tips are just an expense that should be factored in to any trip to the US and it was certainly not ‘excessive’ as described by one of the reviews I read. If we return to NYC we would definitely want to stay again. It was fabulous!
