The Sherry-Netherland

My husband and I stayed in room 1204 for a week-long stay in NYC for our wedding anniversary. Russell at the front desk told us that it's the best room in the house in his opinion...and OMG I have to agree! This room provides an INCREDIBLE view of Central Park and its blooming trees, bushes, and flowers. The room was also perfectly sized for us with a very comfortable bed, lots of closet space, a huge bathroom, a nice wet bar area with coffee maker and fridge, and even a nice dressing area off the bathroom. The other areas of the hotel are also very sumptuous, including the murals in the lobby and what had to be the nicest elevator I've ever been on. The elevator operator (probably the first one I've seen in 30+ years) explained how the panels in the elevator came from one of the houses of the Vanderbilt family. It's worth taking pictures of, for sure. The Harry Cipriani restaurant on the ground floor also serves great food and has a beautiful wood-paneled interior that is elegant but still also bright and inviting, plus Sherry-Netherland visitors get a 20% discount. We also had wonderful service at the Belgium-based handbag brand Delveaux's boutique in the same building next to Harry Cipriani. We told the staff that this was our first visit to NYC, and they were all extremely gracious and helpful in providing dining and travel tips - everything from how to get around on the Subway to where to get great New York-style pizza nearby. The hotel is at the corner of 5th Avenue and 59th Street and the southeast corner of Central Park, so you can't get more centrally located to NYC sites, shopping, theaters and great restaurants. We were going to stay at the Plaza Hotel but noticed complaints on Tripadvisor from visitors who thought the Plaza did a bait-and-switch on their website showing full Central Park views on certain park view rooms that actually had largely obstructed views. We switched to The Sherry-Netherland as a result of those reviews and were very glad we did. I can say with confidence that the pictures of The Sherry-Netherland's room 1204 on their website are no bait-and-switch, and what you see is what you get. We would love to visit again sometime during the fall to see the gorgeous fall foliage and will absolutely plan to stay at The Sherry-Netherland room 1204. Start spreading the news...tell everyone you know that The Sherry-Netherland is THE place to stay in "The City That Never Sleeps."

After mulling over a few hotels in the area we settled on the Sherry-Netherland and so glad we did. Location: perfect - right on 5th Avenue overlooking central park, easy walk to shops/MoMa etc one way and Met the other. Building itself: lots character (not a given for NY) oozing faux-Renaissance charm at every opportunity. Staff: never anything but friendly and professional. Room: we really lucked out as due to a slight mix up we were upgraded from a suite to a corner apartment (room 405). It was huge, spotlessly clean, had everything we could possibly need (including plenty of adapters). Great views across to Central Park and down along 5th Avenue too. Breakfast: Cipriani's on the ground floor - great for tanking up for the day. The coffee and fresh OJ especially good. 20% off for hotel guests.

Vacation to celebrate XMas & New Year’s with Family. Best hotel we could have been, comfort and kindness one of the best to give you that! Our 2 year old son will forever have great memories! We have no words to describe how magic this hotel can be! Thank you so very greatly much!

We just returned from only our third stay at The Sherry Netherland, but vow to make it a twice a year habit. We have never felt more well cared for, had a more welcoming, comfortable and relaxing visit anywhere. The location is perfect for all of our favorite things. We travel for art, theatre, great dining, music and combinations thereof. All are to be found in abundance nearby. Our favorite City View Suite is beautifully furnished and the staff is as attentive, gracious, friendly and capable as we could possibly hope for, Why would we stay anywhere else?

We have stayed in your wonderful hotel for over 40 years and now know the elevator operators, the front desk staff, the doormen, etc...all are friends now and know me and recognize me by name....I feel like I am coming home when I go to the SN. Love to dine in at the restaurant downstairs and enjoy 20percent off!....It is a great experience.
