Hard Rock Hotel New York
Center stage in the heart of Midtown Manhattan
Upon entering the Hard Rock Hotel New York, you might mistake it for a museum: the lobby's a treasure trove of New York City music memorabilia, with NYC native Alicia Keys' yellow Max Azria Atelier Vanity Fair Oscar party dress as a dramatic centerpiece.
Linger a bit longer to quickly realize you've arrived at a luxury hotel, and just in case you've missed it — a cheerful attendant will greet you with a smile and direct you upstairs to the second-floor check-in.
The Hard Rock Hotel wants you to enjoy the music — the hotel's Jeffrey Beers design weaves a musical motif throughout the property's 446 rooms, four entertainment space and two dining options. With live music playing most nights of the week, a full calendar of scheduled concerts and thoughtful touches — the hotel will deliver a Crosley record player to your door — the Hard Rock brings the energy of the city's music scene to life.Our Inspector's Highlights
- The lobby's circular shape and mirrored panels surrounding the marble staircase create a unique visual effect of metal work that resembles guitar strings.
- The hotel's intelligently designed rooms maximize the space with clever features like floor-length mirrors tucked into the closest, partitions to segment the space and ample natural lighting courtesy of the large windows.
- The rooms deliver on the expected amenities — Lavazza espresso machines, quality linens and marble bathrooms — and delight in unique experiential perks. Choose either a Crosley record player or a Fender guitar with over-ear headphones and an amplifier to provide the soundtrack for your stay.
- RT60 Rooftop Bar & Lounge is the hotel’s crown jewel. Perched on the 34th floor, it boasts two outdoor terraces, a creative mixology program and a rotating lineup of DJs spinning tracks against the backdrop of stunning skyline views.
- If you want to feel like a VIP, opt for a stay in the Rock Star Suite, which is larger than most Manhattan apartments and features a sprawling private terrace, two floors — one designated for the bedroom — and private elevator access on both levels.
