On first approach, The Kimberly Hotel gives off a standard New York apartment building vibe, but upon entering the lovely marble lobby, you’ll see why this place is a perennial favorite — the refined crimson and gold antique furnishings exude an Old World warmth and charm.
Politicians, international dignitaries and tourists alike consistently choose The Kimberly over others to experience classic luxury hotel hospitality. The central location — conveniently within walking distance of Rockefeller Center, Central Park, Times Square, Grand Central Station and Radio City Music Hall — makes this boutique spot a smart stay whether you’re headed to the Big Apple for business or pleasure.

Our Inspector's Highlights
- At the New York hotel’s front desk, a hand-written note of thanks from President Jimmy Carter lets you know The Kimberly is serious about taking care of its guests.
- There are only five or six suites on each floor ensuring privacy and top-notch service, a cornerstone of The Kimberly.
- If working out is a must, you can either visit the intimate onsite fitness center or the lauded New York Health and Racquet Club — both complimentary.
- During the summer, take a scenic cruise to see the sights from the Hudson River aboard the hotel’s 75-foot Kimberly Yacht.
Things to Know

The Rooms
- Luxurious details outfit each of the 193 guest rooms decorated with a classic-meets-contemporary European flair.
