Archer Hotel

A fantastic first NYC experience Visiting New York City for the first time with my wife and our 11-year-old son, the Archer Hotel turned out to be a fantastic home base for our trip. We arrived around 10 AM and were able to drop our bags right away, which was incredibly convenient. We grabbed brunch at the Spyglass rooftop restaurant at the hotel, enjoyed the food and the views, and then headed out to see as much of the city as we could. Our first day was packed. We walked around Bryant Park and the New York Public Library, visited Grand Central Station, and then made our way up to the Empire State Building Observatory. The views of Manhattan were amazing. After a break back at the hotel to rest our feet, we headed out again and took in Times Square at night. It was busy, loud, and completely overwhelming in the best possible way — exactly what I imagined NYC would be. We stayed in an Empire State Building View room, and the view really was incredible. Waking up and looking straight out at the Empire State Building was pretty special, and our son thought it was awesome. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful. But for me, the location was the biggest advantage. We could walk to so many of the places we wanted to see, and when we needed to go farther, the subway made getting around surprisingly easy. The next morning we checked out but were able to leave our bags at the hotel, which gave us most of the day to keep exploring. We headed downtown and spent some time at the 9/11 Memorial reflecting pools and museum before going up to the One World Trade Center observation deck. Again, the views are insane! Before leaving the city, we got our first real NYC subway experience and rode from One World Trade Center up to Central Park. We walked around the park for a bit, then jumped back on the subway and rode back to Bryant Park to grab our bags before heading out of the city. Coming from Seattle and visiting NYC for the first time, I was honestly surprised by how much we were able to experience in such a short time. Having the Archer as our home base made it easy to get around, come back and recharge, and head back out without wasting a lot of time traveling. The location, staff, cleanliness, and Empire State Building view were all excellent, but the convenience is what really made the stay for us. Traveling with an 11-year-old and trying to see NYC in a couple of days can be a lot, and the Archer made it much easier. We had a great experience and would absolutely stay here again on our next trip to New York.

A chic and comfortable hotel that is very well located. The rooms are quiet. The staff is super helpful. The hotel is very stylish. The rooftop bar has a lovely view of the Empire State. It's a great place to decompress and have a drink before figuring out what you're doing for the rest of the night. I would highly recommend this hotel and would book there again.

Tiny, but cute hotel with a creative lobby and wonderful staff. If staying midtown, consider the Archer. There is a garage across he street, but the garage offering a slight discount ($10/night) is farther away (not sure why).

The Archer is our go to hotel when visiting NYC. We have stayed on three different occassions and already have plans for another visit. The rooms are clean and the beds very comfortable. The staff is amazing!! SO helpful with whatever you need. The location can't be beat! Easy access to anywhere you need to get in the city.

A very centrally located hotel in Manhattan between 5th and 6th Avenues. Great beds and delicious breakfast and brunch. A very nice rooftop bar and very friendly, helpful staff. Overall, the rooms are quiet.
