We did have a smoker nearby that filled the corridor with smoke. The hotel tried to deal with the problem. The hotel is a non smoking facility. Otherwise all was wonderful.

Loved it

The peninsula is one of the best hotels I've stayed in NY. Great personalized service, spacious rooms, well equipped gym and a very pleasant rooftop. I hope to stay there again soon!

Terrific hotel and staff were warm and friendly

Terrific hotel. My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary. The location in midtown is ideal and the staff was so accondating and friendly. The room, food, spa and workout areas were fantastic. Catching a cab on a Friday or Saturday evening can be a challenge. Highly recommend the Penisula and would go back again.

Beautiful Hotel, wonderful staff

Pros: The entrance and lobby areas are gorgeous, with classic style and luxury.
Cons: Add USB outlets and conveniently accessible power outlets by the bed. I couldn't get room printer wifi working with my phone or tablet.
Location: It's close to shopping on 5th Avenue, blocks from Tiffany's and Central Park. We were able to do quite a bit of sightseeing just by walking.
We came to New York to see a concert, but this hotel stole the show. The staff was wonderful, from the doormen at the door to housekeeping, everyone was friendly and eager to help with anything you needed. The hotel entrance is stunning, with classic luxury like the chandelier and the sweeping stairs up to the reception area. We had the Superior room, and while it's not the biggest in the hotel, they have lavished luxury touches to make it a great room. The bathroom also feels luxurious, my wife loved it. The tub was deep, great for soaking after a long day walking around the city. It even has night lights you can turn on from the bedside, great to avoid those stubbed toes walking around an unfamiliar room in the dark. Since I'm kind of a technology geek, my only suggestion for improvement would be to add USB outlets and conveniently accessible power outlets by the beds. Next time we come to New York, this will be at the top of my list for a place to stay!
