This hotel has been selected for:
It’s a strange animal in a slightly eccentric location — the Giraffe stands on Park Avenue South at 26th street, north of downtown and south of Midtown, well outside the bounds of the tourist traps and hipster neighborhoods. In this neighborhood you can safely forget about minimalism or Soho-style loft bedrooms — the Giraffe’s interiors are Moderne in style, a sort of French-inflected post-Art Deco look, a perfect complement to the vaguely European turn-of-the-century architecture along Madison and Park avenues. The experience isn’t overwhelmingly retro, but the rooftop garden and the elegant lobby, filled with the gentle strains of piano music, can’t help but carry a tinge of a bygone era. And the rooms are spacious, especially by New York hotel standards, with ten-foot ceilings and, in the deluxe rooms, French doors opening onto balconies over Park Avenue South.
The location is a touch on the quiet side, but this shouldn’t put you off; it’s certainly not remote, and like anywhere in Manhattan it’s close by to a wealth of dining and entertainment options. There’s a continental breakfast included in the rate, and a restaurant downstairs, as well as easy access to dozens of others nearby, from fast food to fine dining to the one and only Shake Shack.

Charming Hotel and Staff
Stayed June 2009
Overall rating: Good
I Liked
The rooftop garden and the balcony off our room provided a bit of European romance in the middle of the city. Reasonable price including breakfast, afternoon wine/snack, and wireless internet. Within walking distance, there's a chic Houston's restaurant across the street (check out the incredible Butterfield horse sculpture!). Warm and accomodating staff - we arrived from the airport about 9:30am and they invited us to have breakfast while we waited for our room - no guff about arriving too early for check-in time.I Disliked
Some street noise during the day as our fifth floor room overlooked Park Avenue.

The hotel was in a great location with easy access to Manhattan. The hotel had a very pleasant lobby that offerred a real enjoyable after work / sightseeing socal period of wine and cheese that was truely enjoyable. The roof top patio was a pleasure for us travellers that still enjoy a drink and a smoke. The rooms with balcony's were a really nice touch and opened up the room significantly on a cool night.I Disliked
I had not complaints whatsoever.

- Stylish large rooms - Very reasonable price - Good central location - Included breakfast in the lobbyI Disliked
In the middle of my shower, the water just stopped running. Apparently a pump blew. For some mysterious reason this also caused the elevators to stop. While The staff said this was not a recurring problem, the elevators blew out again when I was checking out. They automatically discounted half the proce of my room which was nice.
A Great Find

The service at this small, intimate hotel was excellent. Staff are friendly and very service oriented. The location is good as very close to the green line which is great for uptown/downtown. The evening reception and breakfast in AM are a real plus. We had a suite so room was ample in size with nice bathroom. I was traveling with friends who had never visited NYC & they were equally impressed with the service. It's so much better than the large scale hotels where they can never remember a face. We had read that this is close to the "action" but it's an easy walk to the Union Square area which has a later night life & great farmers/art market on the weekend. I would definitely return to this hotel.I Disliked
The floor plan for the suite could be better; if you have the closet door open you can't get in or out of the bedroom & if someone tries to get to the bathroom at the same time it doesn't work so well. Otherwise, the bedroom & bath were well laid out plan.40 user(s) found this review helpful
