Wonderful
By Jo- Ann, 12/11/07
I took my daughter to New York for her 18th birthday. The hotel was wonderful and guess what..... Jessica Simpson was staying there and my daughter got to meet her. Best birthday present ever! Let's not forget the shopping & the great food.

Sending my son and his pal.
By The Fishslayer, 11/07/07
We had a great time in the "CITY" it was close to Time Square, but off the path. Service was excellent and the doorman was so efficient in getting our taxis and such. Our rooms were spacious and immaculate. The small spa and exercise room was stellar. We will be back soon!

location was perfect
By travel qa, 03/20/07
The location was perfect and the staff went out of their way to assist us with information on ski packages, tours and shopping. The service was great! The complimentary breakfast was a real treat and a money saver. We met other guests from all over the United States and enjoyed visiting with them.

Can't Wait to Return!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/17/06
For my 21st birthday my mother took me New York and we satyed at The Drake.....omg!!! It was the most beautiful hotal I have ever stayed in. The rooms were so beautiful and the bathroom was fit for a queen (or king)! The staff was friendly and the resturant had the best steamed salmon you have ever tasted!! We were mins away from everything and the hotel was kind enough to help us around the area! This hotel gets 5 stars in my book!!

Can't wait to go back
By Kyra, 03/26/06
Nice hotel, in a central area of Manhattan. Close to Madison Ave & 5th Ave shopping, as well as Central Park, Times Square and Serendipity! The rooms were a good size, and in great condition. If you have a laptop you can get free online access in the hotel room. Wireless internet is also available in the Business center for a charge though.

I love NY!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/24/05
I very much enjoyed my stay at the Drake. I admit I was the guest of Miller Brewing Company. The service of the staff was wonderful. I was greeted at the door. Those at the front desk took care of me at once. The room was very comfortable. The bedding was very plush. Towels were brought at soon as I requested them. I found the location convinent to midtown NY. Everything I needed was just a short walk.

LOVED the Drake!
By Virginia, 06/02/05
We recently had the pleaseure of staying for 4 nights at the Swissotel, the Drake. It was extremely nice. From the time we registered to the time we had to leave, the service was friendly, helpful, and always ready to please. Our room was lovely, the hotel location was in the nicest area of the city. It was our first time in NYC, and it was definitely made special by our stay at the Drake.
