Has anyone stayed at the St. Moritz in NYC?
Is it an ok place especially with kids?

Neal Sanders

Yes. The location is great (Central Park South near 7th Avenue).

The hotel closed briefly about five months ago when it was purchased by some group that planned to strip the St. Moritz back to its skeleton and re-christen it as super-luxury coops. The plan fell through at the last minute, and the hotel was purchased and re-opened in, I think, late May. Because all bookings has been cancelled when the hotel closed (the furnishings were within a day of being auctioned off), the St. Moritz offered some excellent rates for a while. That has probably changed.

But the hotel has always been nice. It is probably a little frayed around the edges, given that it was in limbo for so long. I'd have no hesitation about staying there, especially with kids.

I agree with the above - great location. I only stayed there once, but the rooms were really dissapointing - very small (even for NYC standards) and dated.

I stayed there last Nov. The rooms are very small and VERY dated - they tend to cater to Europeans. I stayed one night and checked out. I really thought it was terrible. If you are only concerned about location and price then it's OK. I would not go back - especially with children.

Agree with others. Shockingly small rooms, lousy service..too dear. Loved the Salisbury just around the corner.
Great breakfasts,almost opposite Planet Hollywood,Carnegie Hall and next to subway
