Le Parker Meridien
$$$-$$$$, Midtown West
User Rating: *** 3.3
Fodor's Review:
This chic Midtown hotel provides two things that don't always come together in New York: sleek styling and top-of-the-line service. The lobby's striking atrium combines cherry paneling, hand-painted columns, and contemporary art. Crisp, modern rooms include low platform beds, rotating ceiling-to-floor entertainment units, Aeron chairs, CD players, and Central Park or skyline views. A 15,000-square-foot health club has a glass-enclosed rooftop pool and spa services. Norma's serves the morning meal from 6:30 AM to 3 PM; the discreetly hidden Burger Joint is a neighborhood favorite.

Le Parker Magnifique!
Posted by Maddy from Miami on 9/6/06
Our family visited NY Dec. of 2004 and we stayed in Parker Meridien. The atmosphere was very stuffy and they gave us a hard time for our specific accomodations. I wasn't thrilled with the experience, but I decided to give it another shot this year because the area was great and the kids loved the pool. We just came back (Sept. 06) and we were very impressed! Starwood hotels bought it and it must have made a difference. The staff was extremely friendly with all of us (including my three kids) and very helpful. Again they had a hard time accomodating us because we needed 2 rooms that were connecting or close, but they found the rooms and also upgraded us to park view. The girl at the candy store in the lobby entertained my children while waiting at check in and all the bellmen and staff were very nice throughout our stay. Breakfast at Norma's was delicious although a bit pricey. The area's great, close to Central Park and many shops. We had a great time!RATING: 4.8
Le Parker Mediocre more like!

Except that mediocre is too much of a compliment. Who writes the positive reviews of this hotel? It's an awful place - my company put me there when my usual places were full (I prefer the Dream Hotel in this area) and it was embarassing, it was like being in the 1950s or something. This is a Holiday Inn with a Burger Bar in the lobby and staff who think they work at the Ritz in London. No only does it need new staff and a proper breakfast area, it needs a clean and a redecoration - and sound insulation. Also, for the people who are impressed that the place has a burger bar and other places to eat - it's in the middle of Manhattan! There are better places to eat all over! I would rather stay in a real Holiday Inn which would at least be more honest.RATING: 1.4
Bait and switch
Posted by Kathy from Wisconsin on 1/4/06
We had a confirmed reservation for a party of 5 that was denied upon arrival, because they said the room we booked didn't accommodate the number of people we had, even though my confirmation clearly stated the number of guests. There only solution was a room at twice the price. Can you say bait and switch. We are still in negotiations with them for there refusal to accomodate us in the room confirmed at the rate confirmed.RATING: 2.0
Best Bed in NYC!
Posted by Laura from Washington DC on 12/4/05
I took my daughter to NYC for her 7th birthday and we had a wonderful experience @ the Parker Meridian. Staff was very courteous and upgraded our room to park view w/o asking. Also allowed us a late check out and held our bags. But the bed! The most comfortable I've ever slept in. Rooms were very nice, pool was great and my daughter loved the cartoons in the elevator. Very cool place!RATING: 4.8
