The Wallace Hotel

Truly a lovely stay as I sincerely cannot say enough wonderful things about my time at this elegant boutique hotel.I travel quite often and rarely write reviews because I do not like to leave bad ones. It was an absolute pleasure to leave this review. I loved the UWS location....I'm very fond of this area of the city and think it is one of the best spots to stay. The 76th street location is quiet and the area is chic and sophisticated. Traveled for a one week stay to visit my family and celebrate my birthday, and upon arrival was upgraded to a deluxe queen suite--very swanky. Thank you front desk..you were very gracious and kind. The room was huge and very chic. The living room with fireplace was classy and elegant & decorated very well. The room was huge by NYC standards. What I noticed upon arrival to the hotel and to my room was how wonderful the place smelled. Lighting and HVAC were great and easy to operate. Best part was the electronic shades....you just hit the lights out button & everything goes dark...Loved it! The bedroom was superb and the view was outstanding....reveled in how soft the bed and bedding were and how modern and large the bathroom was. Shower was incredible, a nice touch to ending a busy NYC day. Room was always cleaned spotless and housekeeping was very attentive. Please tip them as they work very hard. The closet was great as was the wardrobe rack in the bedroom...asked for more hangers and in 5 min they were delivered. Loved the room being a corner suite as the light was amazing, especially during the golden hours of the city...12th floor had wonderful views. Best part was the jazz bar downstairs...it was very toney..just that quintessential NYC lounge atmosphere and loved the gas fireplace in the lounge. Lots of good energy from the staff! Absolutely loved this boutique hotel and cannot wait to return!!! A 5 star property. Understated and elegant.An exceptional property as the word marvelous comes to mind!!

Beautiful hotel, clean comfortable and stylish. Very quiet at night. Perfect location for us. Staff were ultra courteous and helpful. We paid for a standard queen room but were upgraded to a one-bedroom queen suite which we were delighted about.

Very friendly staff (from doorman, front desk, host of the attached lounge, to the janitor, everyone kind and very service oriented - thank you), lovely room, fantastic seated outdoor balcony (2 seats) as part of the room with great views across the Hudson and Upper East Side. Very hip piano lounge bar on ground floor with mixed crowd (young and older). Some great restaurants in the vicinity and of course easy access to the various theaters in the vicinity. There is no room service menu, however, you *can* order food and drinks from the lounge bar and the front desk will then have it sent up - billing was part of my room.

The staff was very friendly and professional. The hotel design and facilities are new, beautiful, high quality and very clean. The room size was big enough for the 4 of us. The location was perfect for us (we wanted a boutique hotel in the UWS).

The hotel is perfect.My hotel room was as I saw in the pictures.My room is luxurious, clean and the size was perfect. Hotel staff.The hotel staff was friendly and very helpful.The atmosphere and smell of the hotel entrance is very nice.The live piano performance was very nice.I was also happy that there were restaurants and everything was within walking distance around the hotel. Gym also was bonus for me.
