Refinery Hotel Manhattan, New York

63 W 38th St, New York, NY 10018, USA (show on map)

Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“With its hat factory history, good location, upscale finish and an eager-to-please staff, the Refinery is a definite draw and is an ideal place for travelers who are looking to be near the city’s major tourist attractions. It lacked the polish of other well-established luxury properties in town, but that may improve over time, and its charm more than makes up for it.”

Fodors review:

“Set in a former hat factory, this stylish hotel has a year-round rooftop with exceptional Empire State Building views. Historic character and a spacious feel set this property apart from other Midtown hotels.”

Featured as Fodor’s Choice in New York.

Telegraph review:

“This chic Midtown property near Bryant Park melds vintage New York with the progressive city it is today. Refinery Hotel celebrates the Colony Arcade Building and millinery studios it once housed, with the addition of a stylish restaurant, jazz bar and rooftop lounge that are destinations in their own right.”

Just beautiful and we would do it again if given a chance.

Clean, chic, stylish and in a very good area of New York

May be the outdoor noise at night from rubbish truck that honks at night on Monday Tuesday nights wasn’t ideal but that’s really not Refinery hotels issue. More a New York thing.

Very good

Location, it’s close enough to everything

Particularly, nothing? I mean, it’s not bad at all, but at the same time, not offering the best value either. It’s just so so hotel with premium location and you just can’t expect anything else. Oh, one thing, maybe complementary water for everyday? They only give you the very first day, so, it would have been a nice touch to receive it everyday.

A first class Midtown hotel with a great atmosphere

The hotel is in an excellent midtown location. It has a very “buzzy” feel about it and there is a great rooftop bar with a wonderful view of the Empire State building. There is also a jazz bar with live music. The front of house staff are first class and very helpful. The hotel combines being informal with First class facilities. Breakfast is taken in a pub style restaurant and is very good. The bedrooms are spacious. We had two very large queen beds and plenty of room with the sitting space. The bathrooms are large and everything is well appointed. I would highly recommend it for staying in a hotel which has a great feel in the heart of Manhattan

Overall very nice.

Great location. Staff were outstanding! Nice room - lots of space for 3 family members.

The room type we reserved indicated “expansive city views”…but we had one tiny window that looked over the back. That was a bit disappointing.

Perfect place to enjoy the city

"Keep smiling - it makes people wonder where you've been" This motto is nailing it. From pre-arrival communication to Front Desk to room to drinks and restaurant to door - outstanding service throughout! Our room had a lovely view of the Empire State Building, was spacious and equipped with everything you need. The bar and the restaurant offer great food and drinks, the Rooftop is great for a good time and the location is awesome to get to all the sights ans places you have in mind.

A very pleasant stay in New York City Midtown

It's a stylish boutique hotel in the Garment District, strategically located just 10 min walk to the Empire State Building or Broadway, 5 min to the Fifth Avenue and 30 min to the Central Park. The reception staff are friendly, polite and super efficient. I hadn't had more speedy check-in or check-out for years. Our Privilege room had 2 queen sized beds (which were very comfortable) and was spacious enough for New York. The mini bar was fully stocked and room amenities were pleasant.

Shower: the water pressure is too low and it takes 2-3 minutes for the running water to reach the comfortable temperature. Breakfast: there's no conventional hotel breakfast, a la carte is offered in the bistro. The choice is quite limited and the service is of variable friendliness

An outstanding boutique hotel in the heart of New York. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, the room was cozy and comfortable with all the right amenities and was very quiet while we were there. It's also one of the few affordable hotels in New York that offer two queen beds in a room. Both the rooftop bar and the lobby bar went beyond my expectations for excellent customer service and amazing craft cocktails.

I'm so happy to stay at Refinery Hotel again for my trip in Dec 2023

I'm very grateful that Refinery Hotel takes my special request seriously to have hotel room ready for my early check-in.

Not a complain but it will be even better if hotel room can be more spacious as it is hard for me to open 2 big luggage in same time.

Highly recommend!! Friendly staff and excellent rooms.

Good location, lovely big room. Comfortable beds. Very nice shower. The hotel text to see if you wanted anything which was a really nice touch. Friendly staff. Really nice that you could get tea & coffee in the morning and wine at the evening. Highly recommend the hotel.

The hotel is near Time Square so it’s busy outside at night time. It’s a very noisy location, but we asked for ear plugs for sleeping and that did the job.

Location and comfort

We loved the place and location. Close by everything in walking distance. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We will be back the next time we come.

If I had to say anything which isn't a big deal is that rolling the luggage on the carpet was somewhat difficult haha. Also I was surprised there wasn't someone at the front door all the time to help open the door for people to come in and out especially when they had their hands full.

This was our first stay at the Refinery Hotel and it far exceeded our expectations.

The property was close to Bryant Park, Times Square, shopping on 5th Avenue, and tons of great restaurants. We also like the Parker & Quinn restaurant and the Rooftop bar in the hotel. Room service was also delivered quickly consistently throughout our stay.

I’m all we loved the property, the only thing we would do differently is request a room on a higher floor.
