Located in the historic Murray Hill district, this hotel is a calm retreat. Times Square, Grand Central Station and the Empire State Building are all within easy reach on foot. Decorated in a European style, the rooms are comfortable and well equipped, with mini kitchenettes that are great for making yourself something quick to eat. There are also many restaurants a minutes from the hotel. There are great views of the Manhattan skyline from its rooftop garden which is a lovely place to relax, and the Rare Bar & Grill serves some nice food, with the speciality being a twist on the American favourite, the hamburger! The staff are friendly, polite and always helpful - really great! There are good transport links a short walk from the hotel, so all of New York is easily acessible.

The location was great. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were not all modern. The bathrooms were old and the kitchen was older style, but everything was clean. The room service was great.
They greeted us right at the doors.
I am very likely
to return to the Shelburne Murray Hill Hotel.
I would definitely recommend it to friends.

I love the huge rooms and the friendly doormen in black. On my last visit, the non smoking room smelt of smoke and the towels were not clean. The room service is terrific and reasonably priced.
I am very likely
to return to the Shelburne Murray Hill Hotel.
