The Kimberly Hotel, New York City

Built in 1985, The Kimberly Hotel is Midtown Manhattan’s last true Euro-style hotel with so elegant a feel that it creates the illusion you’ve stepped into a Victorian mansion. And the staff, from the poised receptionists to the ‘Clefs d’Or’ Concierges, treat you like royalty.

Recently the hotel has undergone some refurbushing with full room renovations and a complete lobby expansion that features the largest privately owned saltwater aquarium. The aquarium is so impressive it was included on The National Geographic Channel. The sights in the lobby are awe inspiring, trumped only by the sights found at the opposite end of the hotel.

Perched 30 stories up is one of Manhattan’s most breathtaking rooftop bars, Upstairs at The Kimberly Hotel. The stunning bar and lounge features retractable glass walls and ceiling for year-round enjoyment. Upstairs also has a striking décor and amazing views of the iconic Chrysler Building. The space is not only a wonderful atmosphere to enjoy a breakfast buffet or brunch but is also an extraordinary urban oasis for sipping a cocktail or nibbling on one of the menu’s tasty bites.

The Kimberly Hotel is ideally situated within walking distance from some of the best New York City landmarks for sightseeing including Rockefeller Center, Radio City Music Hall, and The Museum of Modern Art. And you can’t beat the location if you’re planning to catch a Broadway show in the theater district.

Each of the hotel’s 188 guest rooms and suites feature plush bedding with fine Frette linens, marble baths, and comfy bathrobes. (Is your name Kimberly? Get one of these lovely bathrobes compliments of the hotel). Additionally, most rooms offer private balconies overlooking the city.

“Our guests can always count on top quality service from our friendly staff,” says Mujo Perezic, General Manager. “The Kimberly Hotel’s spacious, oversized balcony suites are a great amenity in themselves considering the midtown Manhattan location.”

Membership at the New York Health and Racquet Club is complimentary to all Kimberly Hotel guests for the duration of their stay, an outstanding perk providing swimming pools, racquetball courts, indoor golf, gym, and an array of fitness classes. Guests are also welcome to enjoy the hotel’s own 75-foot yacht with seasonal three-hour cruises along the Hudson River. Boarding is complimentary with a $25.00 fee per person for a buffet dinner. A cash bar is also available during the cruise. Of course, all guests additionally have access to Upstairs at the Kimberly Hotel, the penthouse level bar and lounge.
