The Lucerne Hotel is a great choice for visitors to NYC. I have used Tripadvisor for several leisure trips and as a business traveller used to staying in 5* hotels around the world I can get a bit picky. The Lucerne met all expectations from the reviews, especially the service which was excellent. It is located close to the subway, some good bars/restaurants, particularly the Manhattan Diner for a good American breakfast. A nice walk through Central Park and you are at the Plaza Hotel and 5th Avenue shopping. This is a great deal for the price, you can actually place your suitcase and yourself in the room at the same time. A rare thing in NYC!

The Lucerne Hotel on the Upper West Side is nice! It is priced well, clean, friendly staff, nice rooms and baths, great location with subway 1 short block away. Walk out the door and there are many choices for good food. Coppola's across the street good for dinner, Manhattan Diner a couple of blocks away good breakfast choice. Sara Beth's 1 block up for brunch. Central Park a couple of blocks to the east. Cannot say anything negative about it.

A family event at a hotel on the Upper East Side took us to New York. We had heard that the Upper West Side was convenient and not so frenetic. The Lucerne came highly recommended from friends in the area. We were not disappointed. Located only a few blocks from the W. 79th St. exit of the Henry Hudson Pkwy, the hotel was easy to find. We were greeted warmly by the staff who remained helpful throughout our two day stay. Our room was comfortable and, while not huge, was more than enough. The room was well maintained. We heard that the hotel restaurant was excellent, although we decided to wander a bit farther to eat in the neighborhood. Next time we will make a point of eating there. We look forward to our next trip to New York City. We'll definitely stay at the Lucerne again.

we have just stayed at the lucerne for the third time and each time is better than the last, the rooms are immaculate, the staff are excellent and the location is brilliant just a short subway or taxi ride to everything you go to new york to do.
central park is a short stroll one way on 79th street as is the hudson the other way,
nice martin is great to start your day,the eggs benedict are great and there is a wide variety of restaurants within walking distance on amsterdam or broadway
