The Wallace

“Excellent in every way”

The Wallace is understated luxury at its finest. The staff and the rooms are amazing. The location is amazing. The Wallace Lounge is amazing. I’m sure even the orchestra would be amazing if they had one.

“Long on style, a bit short on comfort”

For us, the Wallace had more pros than cons.

For us, the Wallace had more pros than cons. Perhaps this list will be helpful for you: The pros: - we love this upper west side location - the common areas and the room were clean and modern - the staff was friendly and helpful -the bathroom was very nice - there are fabulous drinks and free fries for happy hour in the cozy lobby The cons: - while the room is stylish, it is missing some things that would make it more comfortable like a luggage rack and storage. The bathroom had one hook and no towel racks. Maybe a larger room would be a better experience? - I worked from our room for several days and there was very noisy construction outside all day long. Of you plan to be gone all day, this will not bother you, but if you are going to be in your room during the day, at least is spring of 2024, the rooms away from the street are very noisy.

“Stylish hotel in nice neighbourhood”

We chose this hotel as we wanted to be in a quieter area and needed a bit more space. We chose a double queen suite for the three of us.

We chose this hotel as we wanted to be in a quieter area and needed a bit more space. We chose a double queen suite for the three of us. The area was good with two subway stations nearby 72nd Street and 79th Street - these take you downtown very quickly and it’s easy to get connections to go further afield. There’s a cafe on the corner of the street where we got really good pastries and coffees for breakfast each morning. There are quite a few restaurants, cafes and shops nearby. When we arrived we received a warm welcome and were quickly checked in, our room was very nice and spotlessly clean. Great first impression! Beds were comfortable and bedding good quality, although I prefer a duvet cover rather than the bottom and top sheet configuration that tends to be used in the USA. There were two big drawers and a hanging rail as well as several other small drawers next to the bed and in the dressing table. The bathroom was spacious by NYC standards with a good shower (rain head and wall mounted shower head). The living area was very comfortable with a large sofa with chaise long section big enough to be a third bed! Huge T.V. under which is a big unit with lots of storage which also serves as a desk with a desk chair. We ate our breakfast here most days and takeout one afternoon. There are no plates or cutlery so make sure you bring/buy some if you’re planning to eat in the room. The wet bar area has a sink, fridge, kettle, coffee machine and complimentary hospitality drawer. The wardrobe is at the entrance to the room (in the living area) and is spacious and houses an iron, bathrobes, slippers, hairdryer (not very powerful compared to UK ones!) and umbrella. There were plenty of hangers and a floor to ceiling shelved section. There are panels with buttons controlling the lights and blinds with a ‘privacy’ and ‘service’ setting which was handy. If I was being really picky, there are a couple of things which would make it absolutely perfect, some hooks for coats in the living area somewhere and a heated towel rail in the bathroom. Also, housekeeping was a little bit bit and miss, the hospitality drawer wasn’t always topped up and I noticed the counter top wasn’t wiped a couple of days, but overall the room was very clean and housekeeping more than happy to provide what you needed very quickly when called. We unfortunately had some Very noisy people above our room, we probably could have moved rooms if we’d asked but I didn’t want to pack everything up again so we stayed put, it didn’t interfere too much. There are no other services available in the hotel, it’s really just a serviced room. The Wallace Lounge is run separately and is only open in the evening. We ate there one night and the food was very nice. It’s a shame this area couldn’t be used to provide drinks and snacks in the day too as it’s a very comfortable area to sit. Even just providing tea/coffee and drinks would have been nice.

“Lovely uws hotel.”

Hotel is new and fresh, immaculately clean and a great UWS option. There is a bit of noise and light gets in thru the hall door. Lack of an on site restaurant is in convenient but many good options in the neighborhood.
