Fodor's Expert Review Wellington Hotel

A few blocks south of Central Park and Columbus Circle, the Wellington is a good base for visitors who want to see the sights in Midtown and the Upper West Side. The vibe in the rooms is more classic than edgy or modern, with floral patterns and dark-wood headboards and chests. Bathrooms are dark and on the small side. Suites, however, are spacious and have a microwave, a refrigerator, and extra beds—a great fit for large families. Molyvos, a busy Greek restaurant in the hotel, serves excellent Mediterranean food, while the Park Cafe serves three meals a day along with theater snacks. The hotel runs clever seasonal packages that draw return guests every year.
