Loews Regency Hotel

The Loews Regency has long been recognized as one of the best and well-priced hotels in business travel circles, though it has all the makings of a home-away-from-home for leisure visitors as well. It’s an ideal jumping off point for some of New York’s top sights such as Central Park, Broadway, Museum Mile, and stores along Fifth and Madison Avenues. Drop your shopping bags in one of the 354 relaxing guest rooms—full renovations are currently scheduled for mid-2012—with ergonomic chairs and spacious bathrooms with soaking tubs. Some also have kitchenettes, pantries, and additional half bathrooms. Service is friendly and intuitive: Many staff members have worked at the property for over 20 years.
