Le Parker Meridien ReviewConsider the many attributes of this hotel: Its location on 57th Street is not too far from Times Square and a short walk from Central Park and Fifth Avenue shopping; there's a 17,000-square-foot fitness center, Gravity, featuring basketball and racquetball courts, a spa, and a rooftop pool; three excellent restaurants, including Norma's, for breakfast, and the aptly named Burger Joint, rated by many as the best burger in the city; a gorgeous lobby that also serves as a public space off where Knave, the hotel's excellent espresso bar is located, and elevators with TVs that show Tom and Jerry and Charlie Chaplin shorts. The spacious rooms, though a bit on the IKEA side, have a fun feel, with hidden drawers and twirling television platforms, making an economical use of space. Many have fantastic Central Park views. Rooms have wood platform frames with feather beds, built-ins that include large work desks, and Aeron chairs; the bathrooms are large but come with shower only. Facilities: Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

| 0 stars | Frommer's Recommended | |
| 1 stars | Frommer's Highly Recommended | |
| 2 stars | Frommer's Very Highly Recommended | |
| 3 stars | Frommer's Exceptional |
Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
