Hotel Metro

The Metro is the choice in Midtown for those who don’t want to sacrifice style or comfort for affordability. This Art Deco–style jewel has larger rooms than you’d expect for the price. They’re outfitted with retro furnishings and smallish but beautifully appointed marble bathrooms. Only about half the bathrooms have tubs, but the others have shower stalls big enough for two (junior suites have whirlpool tubs). The Family Room is a two-room suite that has a second bedroom in lieu of a sitting area; families on tighter budgets can opt for a roomy double/double. Premier rooms featuring new bathrooms and iPod docking stations were recently renovated.

The comfy, firelit library/lounge area, where a complimentary buffet breakfast is laid out and the coffeepot’s on all day, is a popular hangout. Service is attentive, and the rooftop terrace boasts a breathtaking view of the Empire State Building and makes a great place to order up room service from the Metro Grill.

Facilities:
