    My apartment wasn't available my last nite. I cashed in Hyatt points for a free stay here.
    I lucked out and they gave me concierge 2426: top floor - corner room w/ a humorously close view of the Chrysler Bldg.
    (clap-clap ... " wipers!! ")

    This place is amazing. Huge decorated lobby w/ amenities up the wazoo. Good food, lounges, etc. I stay @ Hyatts a lot but this is now one of my faves.
    No raving, just check out the website: this place has more than anyone needs unless you're King of Zamunda.

    On my last night I sat at the grand piano in the lobby and played my favorite Eric Satie & Gershwin pieces. Despite my less-than-mediocre piano prowess, it rang thru the lobby like a concert hall & I will always remember my last night in NYC.

    Here's the bad news: I would never have stayed if it wasn't free.
    Average rooms rack out at ~ $400/night, and the top floor concierge room I was in (2426) with all its amenities is probably $500 std rack rate.

    But don't give up. Use the usual tricks of AAA, AARP, corporate rates, bid it on Priceline, etc. If you can get in for around $200 / night, you're getting a good deal.


    Total luxury, a few well-appointed bars and restaurants in the hotel, the rooms are tricked out to the max. An unexpected bonus: it is actually in the building complex holding Grand Central Station with all the beautiful marble passages and the big gorgeous terminal hall.

    The whole block is now cleaned up and surrounded by cafes, bars & restaurants with outdoor terraces.

    Yet you can walk merely one block North into midtown and still get the buzz of Manhattan streetlife:

    from the heart-pumping cacophony of car horns & big-city energy-rush to the cliche of street characters: ranging from stylish NY dames to the bizarre sleazy types that emerge from the dark alleys between buildings whispering "rolex, rolex, rolex"
    complete with the straight-from-central casting dark trenchcoats and an armfull of cheap knockoff watches.

    • I just stayed here on a business trip; we had meetings all over this area (which surprised me because I thought all of the investment companies/firms would be near ground zero). The Grand Hyatt was well-positioned. Sure there are others, but Hyatt is right between Grand Central Station and the Chrysler building.

    The rooms were recently renovated, as I understand, and were quite well-appointed. A little small (but we were in Manhattan) and the tub was about a foot high (not a soaker by any means) but the closet was ample (room for many suits and complete with nice wooden hangers) and dresser was good too.

    No bible nor pen and paper sets...overall quite good.

    We paid USD 311 by booking online a couple of weeks earlier; rack rates are 529 a night.

    • Grand Hyatt New York (Park Ave And Grand Central Sta.) - New York City
    by LysDor
    It is a superior first class, dramatic, 35 story hotel with mirrored facade and dazzling atrium lobby complete with waterfall, located adjacent to Grand Central Station at Park Avenue and Forty-Second Street

    It's easy to arrive from the airport by New York Airport Service. The station is almost opposite the hotel at: Grand central - 125 Park Avenue - Between 41st. & 42nd Street.

    But what it comes to rooms, there could be a bit more to expect after the splendour of the lobby!
    Only recommended for it's excellent location and morning breakfast!!

    Behind the hotel is the awesome Chrystler Building

    When staying in New York, my first choice hotel would be the Grand Hyatt in midtown. I choose it because of it's convenient location (right next to Grand Central!), and how accessible it is to every major city sight! It's a grand hotel, indeed, and the rooms are always comfortable and the concierge service is always helpful.

    • I stayed here when visiting the states with three other friends in june this year. The hotel was really really nice with a big grand foyer. The rooms though were not as good as you would have expected from the foyer. Although the rooms were not as good as we expected they were still really good just a little on the small side.

    The hotel itself has very helpful staff and will help you in anyway possible. We managed to get tickets for a broadway show on the day of the show just by going to theservice desk within the foyer and with one phone call we had the desired tickets which was a great bonus

    • I enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The rooms, while not spacious, are quite comfortable with a small walk-in closet and slightly larger bathroom. The water was hot, the shower delightful, the maid service pleasant, the rooms quiet and the elevators fast. I loved the little monitors in the elevators that had stock tickers, the weather and a TV station on. I think it was CNBC. We were on the 23rd floor and I thought it was interesting that the windows opened! Had a nice view from above of the bronze statue that adorns the roof of Grand Central Station. The lobby is large and a great place to sit and people watch. A great feature is that you can go right from the entryway to Grand Central Terminal and the subway without going outside. The only complaint I had is that when we arrived on Sunday afternoon, we had to stand in line for over 1/2 hour to check our luggage as our room was not ready. There were a lot of crabby people in that line and in the elevators on Sunday as well. I don't understand how you can be unhappy when you are on vacation in New York!

    Each morning we were able to get good coffee and pastries from the Grand Central Market around the corner and we were so close to the subway that we had easy access to most of the city. While we did not actually get to spend much time in our room, it was a great place to go back to in the early evening, and relax for a while with a glass of wine.

    • The hotel was FANTASTIC. The hotel lobby was always busy but what do you expect from a Manhattan hotel. The rooms however were amazing. I have never felt so at home in a hotel. the rooms smelt, looked, and felt clean. The location can not be beaten ( I looked). Grand Central Station is adjoined which allows for quick access to trains, subways and reasonably priced food. We were there during the transit strike so we had to walk everywhere. Times Square, Rockefeller Center, Empire State Building, 5th Ave., and Central Park are within walking distance. The longest walk was Central Park and that was only about 20-25 minutes. You can not beat this hotel. The service was great, accomodations were clean, a everything was so convienent. Booh early. We booked a couple months in advance with AAA and we got a room for $143 an night during the busy season.

    • this was a perfect place to take my granddaughter .the elevators were speedy and the location next to Grand Central Station meant lots of shopping and quick places to eat that would please both of us and not break the bank.The Station itself should definately be on every tourists list of things to see and there is a free tour I believe on Wed.
    Also,there is an excellent coffee shop across the street since the breakfast at the hotel's coffee shop is quite expensive for those of us not on an expense account.

    helpful staff,lots of taxis,adequate room.

    • The location of this hotel is superb, just next to Grand Central train station and a 15 minutes walk from Times Square. The room I stayed was large and comfortable, with all mods and cons. Good and inexpensive wifi access through Tmobile. However as this is a huge hotel, the service was pretty bad. Laundry service was bad, they forgot to pick up my laundry twice, the front desk was unpolite and unhelpful. Never ask for the manager (Adam) as he was the most unsympathethic and unhelpful. It gets worse! The second day, they woke me up by error at 6 am. When I checked out, they forgot to charge my laundry, when I pointed it out, it took them half an hour to charge it to my account, and I ended up being late for my meeting. I felt stupid at the end of the day, as I ended up being the one who suffers their incompetence (and afterall I was trying to pay my bill that for which I was not asked to pay, but yohey sometimes it does not pay out to be honest, and the Mr Millers was not thankful) You have to pay for left luggage, and if you want to charge it to your room, you have to face a very complicated process (I did not have any US dolar cash). And people are not very helpful. By the way I hated these self check in counters which unsurprisingly did not work. Furthermore, the taxi assistance is a bit dodgy. The bell boy urged me to take a private cab, advising me not to get a normal NY cabbie. Concierge did not know anything about this arrangement, and could not comment me whether if it was allowed and safe or not, but I ended up taking the private cab which worked out fine. Nevertheless I found this a bit dodgy.
