Frommer's Review

The Regency has long been a haven for celebrities and those who aspire to celebrity status. But even if you aren't on the cover of a magazine, a stay at the Regency might make you feel like a star. The guest rooms are all huge, featuring a king bed or two doubles, a large marble writing desk with an ergonomic chair, and a small eating table. The bathrooms, though not enormous, are equipped with terry-cloth robes and a small television. Suites are typically grandiose, ranging from the 450-square-foot Executive, with two bathrooms and French doors, to the Grand Suite, with two bedrooms and two marble bathrooms. Despite its elegance, the Regency is a surprisingly good choice for kids. Children under 18 stay free when sharing a room with their parents; rollaway beds are an additional $25 for the stay. Complimentary homemade hot chocolate is served in the lobby in the winter months, replaced by lemonade in the summer. The hotel's restaurant, 540 Park Avenue, is one of the great power-breakfast spots in the city, while Feinstein's at The Regency is considered the standard when it comes to cabaret.

About Our System

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.
