Another great stay!
I know the Empire continues to get mixed reviews but we have just returned from a three night stay and I wanted to update my previous review. My husband, 15 year old daughter and I stayed in a corner suite and in addition to the amazing views of Lincoln Center and up Broadway and 7th Avenue, the suite was roomy and comfortable. Yes, the shower with one door is still strange, yes the standard rooms are very small, and yes you have to pay for WiFi but the convenient and lovely city location, fun over-the-top retro art-deco(?) design, Starbucks just steps one way and PJ Clarks the other way, this is a great choice for families, couples, and business. And, oh yes, if you have a teenager who loves "Gossip Girl," you may be lucky enough to be there when they are filming something in the opulent lobby!
