The Carlyle Hotel, Rosewood Reviews

Very good hotel not too far from where the action is. Excellent restaurant. Great experience all in all, not cheap though.

We didn't stay long. It was crowded and decided to go elsewhere.

The hotel bar is quite good. It is a superior experience than any other bar in the world. The level of service is excellent and the declaurlar statements.

I went to the bar with three other friends for a drink. The cocktails were delicious and the servers are friendly. Overall the atmosphere is very nice and the live music was superb.

Very guest oriented. From elevator operators for you to chocolate for bed.

Well, what can one truly expound on, when all amenities, staff, and non-expectations were truly surpassed -- to a veteran world traveler,
and a frequenter of legendary luxury hotels spanning the globe.

I am one of the lucky ones, who back in the day, was greeted upon arrival by the G.M. and his dedicated staff. The owner himself, Mr. Peter Jay Sharp, a leading Manhattan hotelier and real-estate developer, (I won't go into trivia details to bore you to death), had left me a personal , hand written note. However, just to say, the view from my two bedroom suite (yes, I had two guests in tow), welcome frivolities, and the warm feeling that pervaded inside of me, that I had indeed had arrived home.

The late Bobby Short held forth back then nightly in his "saloon" cabaret. We feasted on supper after his performance, and the ambiance transported us back in time. And why in the "whirled" would I have had a clue to pack "black-tie", back then, is beyond me.

The doormen always took great care to make sure we were always looked after; once
we stepped out into the "real" world, one always had the underlying feeling welling up inside, that we could not wait until we were back, "home", and safely ensconced in our apartment suite.

Room service was sublime and superlative! Housekeeping even hand washed
a shirt that I needed for the next day that needed laundering. When we went to check out, the doormen had our car and driver waiting, ready to the ride to the aerodrome. We truly were nostalgic in looking forward to our next stay, with unbridled relish! Kudos to a one of a kind hotel, and a one of a kind dedicated staff. A legendary hotel, that truly will spoil you, above all others!

The top of the line in NYC bars. Just the best in every sense.

Excellent bar with good drinks, great atmosphere, and an amazing piano player.

A nice hotel. Went to a private party in a beautiful suite. The city views were great.

Bemelmans Bar has amazing martinis and make sure to check out the jazz on Thursday nights.

A very classy place with an awesome pianist. The music is a little loud for conversation.

I decided to spend a relaxing evening at the Carlyle watching TV.or nearly $700/night. But the TV didn't work (faulty remote which the engineer decided not to replace until his second visit). But when thee TV worked the channels were blurry. Finally I called the front desk and asked the supervisor, Lorena Olizandesa, for a reduction in my room rate and she responded with stony silence, No help there. .So my advice is no tot be fooled because this is an iconic hotel (JFK and Truman slept here). Make sure the TV and thermostat work before you let the bell-person leave, It was for me a sad experience as I always idealized this hotel which is only a few blocks from home where the same TV server (Spectrum) has no problem at all delivering working TV service,

You cannot imagine a better place for a pre-prandial cocktail. Wear your finest clothes and enjoy the fantastic ambience, service and drinks.

Indeed, Carlisle! It was a good hotel. The rooms are not very large, but they have a good sense of furniture, good room service, and good stationery. There are a lot of good memories.

Finally went to Bemelmans Bar. Had one of their signature drinks, it was delicious. b Note that there is a dress code, but that's why it's one of the last of the great piano bars in the city. The murals alone are worth it. Be prepared to overspend, suck it up and enjoy while you can.

Worked in the building people were great and helpful

Food, drinks, entertainment and atmosphere all top-notch at Club Carlyle

Monday at the Carlyle = Woody Allen.
We approached the entrance on Madison Avenue, without a reservation, around 5:30 p.m. waiting for a seat at the bar. There weren't many people waiting so at 6.30pm when the doors opened and we walked in we were able to get a good position at the bar. There is room for 10 people there. The entry is USD120 for the bar with a minimum consumption of USD25. The wine - California Pinot Noir - came out USD65, and the Cheescake USD18 as well as the Chocolate Praline. All excellent. Woody Allen stayed on stage for 60 min and withdrew.

Without exception our experiences have truly been the essence of luxury. Accommodations, Dining or Social Cocktails at the lounge all have been delightful through the years.

It's very cool The drinks are a little expensive but I had a good nochita.

I should have known something was up when we checked in and they said, "So, this is your first stay with us." Ah NO...this WAS our go-to hotel when in NYC and we've stayed there many, many times. Something has really changed for the bad at the historic and stately Carlyle. Elevator buttons that don't work (which would be OK if they just posted a sign), shower light bulbs that are burned out and need to be changed, a request for Ladies shower cap instead of one in the room and 53 minutes to get coffee and 2 bagels. UGH ! We'll try the Pierre next time.

Every employee here is so polite, well mannered and majestic. The room service food is not the best, but the service provided by the workers are. I didn't hesitate to get familiar with them because they have great recommendations. The hotel is only a short distance from Central Park for a great walk and peace and quiet. Overall a great stay at a fabulous hotel.

Grabbed drinks at Bemelman's downstairs. Beautiful and classy spot to start a date night!

Excellent pianist at the bar of the hotel .. Drinks overpriced.

beautiful place ideal for tea or to listen to live piano. Two prosecco 50 dollars but that's okay (pttnmdnn)

Came here from Gossip Girl's "Chattered Bass" Episode 4x21

Great location, hotel and service could ramp up a bit.

Staff was very accommodating and nice, and place has an interesting history. Although I was surprised how uncomfortable the bed was to me and my fellow guest. The furniture in our room was in poor condition and in need of cleaning and repairs, probably beautiful pieces in their day. I found the sofa to be stained, the upholstery was tattering and the filling in the cushions was lumpy and uncomfortable to sit in. The staff did their best to make our stay pleasant and tried to make the bed more comfortable by changing the mattress and inserting a board under the mattress to give more support. A really gorgeous hotel with wonderful staff, very unfortunate that the furniture in the room was so uncomfortable.

We had a very nice birthday brunch for my aunt at the Carlyle. The food was good but it's best for people watching

Bemelmans is a bar with very famous murals. The cocktails are very good and the service is impeccable.

My absolute favorite! Gorgeous hotel and the friendliest and most helpful staff ever! Adolfo is the best! Old world style you will not find anywhere else!

A little inconvenient because of the street construction. One of the few remaining classic girls with am outstandingly attentive staffed.

If you stay at the Carlyle you ll be able to feel what it s to walk in a true NYC institution. Classy, elegant, doesn t pretend to be anything they re not.

Joined a close friend for his birthday out at the Carlyle and was summarily impressed. Despite being slightly underdressed, the atmosphere made me feel about twice as classy as I had any right to. There was live jazz music the entire evening courtesy of the Loston Harris Trio, which was wonderful in itself but made the experience greater than the sum of its parts. Drinks were fairly pricey, but mostly within the expected range; the selection was stellar and they carried a wide swath of liquors, so whether you want a standard vodka rocks or an ultra-smooth $245 glass of single-malt, there's probably something for you at the Carlyle.

I went to the Carlyle for a show at the Cafe and nothing disappointed. One of the best martinis I've ever had and the service was bar none.

We recently stayed at the Carlyle. As beautiful as the hotel is all three rooms that we rented for four nights had many issues. a running toilet that leaked on the floor, no hot water in the powder room,I had to sleep with my head at the foot of the bed because the mattress was so broken down plus more. We mentioned the issues three times to no avail. We asked for an adjustment on the bill (a complementary drink or breakfast would have been nice while there) and the response was an upgrade the next time we visit. That's unacceptable and impossible as we will not return.

Very unique cocktail launge with live music. Drinks are extremely expensive and cover charge makes it a once a while endogen

Once was excellent but is now run down, old and sloppy cleaning service...,..needs attention!

An incredible experience for those who wanna see woody Allen live on a Monday evening !

Security check & Social Distancing is awesomely carried out! felt very safe, friendly staff too a +!

Wonderful space and a great show (Chita Rivera!). They pack the space, but it really only adds to the experience. Wait staff treats everyone like royalty, and the food was delicious. Spring risotto is creamy and loaded with truffle, and the opera cake should not be missed.

This is customer service at its best, your home away from home! Opulence & comfort!

Stunning hotel on the east side, central to excellent shopping and near midtown. We were upgraded at no cost to a gorgeous room overlooking Madison Ave. Highly recommend!

It's been that way, just like back in the days...........

I am a small town native that was visiting NYC with my daughter. I felt very safe and secure at the Casablanca, while still being in the heart of Times Square. Excellent location and very accommodating staff. Great breaksast in the morning as well. Very close to subway station and broadway shows.

This is the real deal- no service anywhere like this- the elevators are maned!!

I was visiting a guest staying at the Carlyle and I didn't stay long, but it's a beautiful hotel with helpful and friendly staff.

Absolutely perfect. The bar was perfect. I wouldn t stay anywhere else in the city from now on.

Beautiful classic hotel with impeccable service (elevator operators!) and beautifully-appointed rooms (ours was very quiet) but TINY bathrooms

Older property, superior service, dated common areas, undergoing major renovations so lots of noise during my stay.

One of the most iconic places in the city. The Carlyle never disappoints
