No title - expert review Not many hotels in New York can rival the attributes of this hotel: Its location on 57th Street, not too far from Times Square and a close walk to Central Park and the shopping of Fifth Avenue, is practically perfect; the 17,000-square-foot fitness center, called Gravity, features state-of-the-art e... frommers.com
No title - expert review The pace here is smooth and efficient, the surroundings handsome and elegant, and the ambience distinctly French. Recently, the hotel adopted some downtown attitude, featuring artwork by controversial Brit Damien Hirst in the three-story atrium lobby. A definite selling point is the gargantuan 43rd-... gayot.com

accurate description - user review Got a great deal booking on HOTWIRE. View of park somewhat obstructed. I just found out what european decor means. Don't think luxury means plush at this hotel.

Recommended - user review I stayed at the Meridien for 6 nights on business. The price was great at under $250 a night in Sept. The rooms were a bit on the small side but were quite nice.

Hole in the wall - user review OK, so I have to put this under the hotel's name because the place does not seem to have a name of it's own. It's in the lobby, hidden down a corridor, and makes the best burger, best fries (ok, it is a guilty pleasure, but must be had) in midtown.

Very nice hotel, great location. - user review We had a very nice stay at Le Parker Meridian. It is a little different, but that is part of its charm.

St Patrick´s Day Stay - user review We stayed in a suite on the 34th floor overlooking Central Park for 8 nights.

Fabulous location - user review Great hotel, right in the middle of all of NYC's holiday happenings. Great pool on roof with view of Central Park. Only drawback was the sound of garbage trucks all night long, must be next to a trucking company.

Not too impressed. - user review Had to switch rooms as the first one had roaches. Although the hotel handled it appropriately, still wouldn't go back.

Good value when rates are low - user review I was able to find a really low rate, rare for the Le Parker. It was a great hotel for that price (4 stars vs. 3 stars that you usually get for that price). For a 4 star hotel, it's really not the best place. The bar and restaurant are cold and lifeless and I had to go to the deli down the street to... expedia.com

It’s pretty nice - user review It's a nice hotel. N.Y. has some of the nicest hotels in the world, so it doesn't stand out among the other 4 and 5 star hotels, but for the price, it definately competes against the other top of the line luxury hotels!
