The Roger Smith Hotel

The Roger Smith Hotel

501 Lexington Avenue - 10017 New York

A friendly, intimate, New York City bed & breakfast hotel, the Roger Smith is at the center of the city's most elegant hotel district: Across the street are the Intercontinental and the Waldorf Astoria Hotels. Of course, restaurants, shopping, theaters, and museums are here as well. From the colorful, uniquely designed flags flying over the hotel entrance, to the bronze sculptures standing at attention by the front doors. The Roger Smith is passionately dedicated to art, creativity, hospitality, good ideas, and fun. The 130 guest rooms are spacious and individually decorated in a contemporary American fashion, with some English and French country touches thrown in for good measure. Located on Lexington Avenue, between 47th and 48th Streets on Manhattan's fashionable eastside, The Roger Smith is just minutes from the United Nations, Grand Central Station, Rockefeller Center, Broadway, and the amazing boutiques and stores of Madison and Fifth Avenues. From here, all of New York is practically at your doorstep.

    Very unique hotel About every 30 minutes the pipes or radiator or something in the room would pop and it was VERY loud causing a bad night's sleep.

    No wireless network, and as a consultant I need it all times, had I knew it before never would have opted for this hotel. At approx 58 degrees F I would opt to switch on my room heater if there was one, but on the contrary AC is switched on FULL without any room control, what the hell, moreover at night there are no technicians to get it switched off, thats certainly one way God could have punished me for my sins.

    It seems the hotel was concerned that a boycott due to the planned naked chocolate Jesus sculpture would occur and cancelled the showing. This shows lack of integrity for caving in on one hand and lack of judgement for insulting Christians on the other. I think I'll find another hotel. If the reports are apocryphal....I apologize and hope you disregard this missive.

    Great hotel in a great location. Will definitely be returning. Excellent in all respects. Most of all was a wonderful, central location on Lexington Avenue for walking to most places, including shops, Grand Central station, Central Park, UN, musums etc. Staff were very helpful. Breakfast was really good, and staff were very attentive and helpful. Although the breakfast room is not huge, it's not that small either, and staff were 'on the ball' at finding space for all. The rooms, and beds, were really comfortable. Our room, on 9th floor, was on the Lex Av side, and was a bit noisy, but don't think affected sleep too much. I will definitely be booking this hotel again for any future visits to NY, and recommending it to friends/family.

    A Gem in NYC Have nothing negativee to say about this hotel. Desk Clerk very courteous and helpful - we were able to check-in to room at 11:00AM. Location is excellent to restaurants and subway. Would highly recommend.

    Great value for money The only downside to this hotel is that it's right next door to a night club. During our 3 nights we were woke up at 4.00am every night as the club emptied! It wouldn't put me off though. Just ask for a room that's not at the front!
