The Best of The Big Apple

In a city where your hotel options are countless, Le Méridien on 57th in New York City stands out as a top pick for bleisure travelers. This spot offers everything you need to stay productive while enjoying the vibrant culture and energy of the Big Apple. Our stay was a long weekend that included work and play. This is now our favorite spot!

Prime Location

Just like in real estate, when it comes to picking a place to stay in NYC, it's location, location, location. Situated in the heart of Manhattan, Le Méridien on 57th provides easy access to both business districts and iconic landmarks. Whether you have meetings in Midtown or want to explore Central Park, the hotel's prime location ensures you're never far from where you need to be. After a day of business, you can step out and immerse yourself in world-class dining, shopping, and entertainment, all just steps away!

View From The Top

A must is checking out the rooftop restaurant Grill 57 Rooftop. Highly recommend the cobb salad and the smashburger. The views are stunning and the staff incredibly kind and attentive. Throughout our stay we noticed people working on laptops, locals meeting up with friends, tourists mingling at the bar and even a private event on part of the patio. It's always a great sign when locals and tourists are hanging out a hotel bar!

Hospitality On Point

I've never featured hospitality on one of my reviews, but given how outstanding it was at this hotel, it deserves its own section. I should point out that at no fault of their own, the entire system went down during checkin. What could have turned into a total mess was handled wonderfully by the staff. Shout out VJ for making the check-in happen! Throughout the stay I kept encountering Joe who truly is the reason why I might make this hotel my exclusive go-to spot in the city. Despite the hustle and chaos that can be NYC, Joe always made us feel like we were at home in the hotel. At one point I just had to pull him aside and ask him about how he learned to be so attentive. He just smiled and said, "I consider this hotel my home and my guests are family."

So if you're looking for a home away from home in the heart of the city ... this is your spot!

SARAH'S MUSTS:

• Ask for Joe!

• Start your morning with a walk in Central Park and a treat from Bel Ami

• Head to the rooftop for a cocktail when you check-in - it sets the tone for the rest of the trip!
