Frommer's Review

This magnificent 1903 landmark building has had many incarnations over the years, including one as a dormitory for Columbia University students. But most recently it has been transformed into a luxury boutique hotel, and that transformation has been a triumph on many levels. As a longtime resident of the Upper West Side, I can easily say the Lucerne best captures the feel of that special neighborhood. Service is impeccable, especially for a moderately priced hotel and everything is fresh and immaculate. The rooms are all comfortable and big enough for kings, queens, or two doubles, with attractive bathrooms complete with travertine counters. Some of the rooms have views not only of the Hudson River but of one of my favorite pubs, the Dublin House. The suites here are extra-special and include a kitchenette, a stocked mini-fridge, a microwave, and a sitting room with a sofa and extra television. The highly rated Nice Matin offers room service for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But if you don't want to dine there, you can sample some of the neighborhood food at nearby Zabar's or H&H Bagels.

Facilities:
Restaurant; fitness center; business center; limited room service; laundry service; dry cleaning
