I had an extremely disappointing stay at Fouquet’s Hotel NYC, especially considering it was the night of my wedding. From start to finish, the experience fell far below what any 5-star property should deliver. First, our neighbor had their TV blasting until 3 am. I called the front desk twice, and nothing was done. We barely slept on what should have been one of the most special nights of our liv...

My favorite hotel in NY - it’s not too big but not too small. Staff is fantastic, great bar at night that’s hidden. Rooms are stunning. They also have a fantastic gym and spa amenities which is a huge plus!

I'm a private chauffeur. I brought many clients to this hotel. It is so upscale, it's so on point, they do everything right? The staff, the ambiance all up to par. None of my clients have ever had a complaint. And I've brought many there in the last 2 years.

This is my first hotel review, and I must say my experience at Fouquets was quite disappointing. While I can understand the appeal of visiting the restaurant or bar, I would recommend opting for a Holiday Inn instead. As expected in New York, the rooms were small, and we paid a premium for the location and brand. However, our main issue was with the air conditioning, which struggled to cool below...

I recently had the opportunity to experience the High Iced Tea at Fouquet's NYC on their gorgeous summer terrace, and it was truly unforgettable. The views of the city are breathtaking, offering a perfect blend of summer energy and tranquility, with plenty of greenery creating the feeling that you’re in a beautiful garden oasis above the city. The furniture and design choices are impeccable, with...
