Pros:

La posizione e il ristorante

Cons:

Ambiente troppo scuro, l’upgrade della camera non era all’altezza di quanto promesso (la finestra era così piccola e con vista laterale che non valeva la pena pagare di più per avere un piano alto). Nel complesso sembrava trascurato anche se tutto era pulito

Wonderful!
Pros:

My family stayed four nights at the Refinery and thoroughly enjoyed the stay. We arrived as walk‑in guests and simply asked for a room. From the very first moment, we felt warmly welcomed, especially thanks to Luisa Garcia. Her exceptional friendliness and helpfulness truly made the difference. Although we discovered the hotel by chance, it was the kindness and pleasant manner of Luisa Garcia and her colleague that truly convinced us to choose it.
My wife felt at home right away and immediately knew that this was the right hotel for her in New York City—quiet, lounge‑like, stylish, and with a wonderful scent throughout. Our children loved the breakfast, especially the pancakes, and dinner at Parker & Quinn was also fabulous. We also greatly enjoyed the hotel’s jazz bar, with its great location and excellent cocktails, which created the perfect atmosphere to end the evening.
The hotel’s prime location in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, close to Bryant Park, was ideal, with many of New York City’s major attractions within walking distance, including Fifth Avenue, excellent shopping, dining, and convenient transportation options. The beds, rooms, toiletries, and overall atmosphere exceeded our expectations. My family would be delighted to return and would like to sincerely thank the Refinery staff for a wonderful stay.

Beautiful hotel, fantastic staff
Pros:

We loved our 1 week stay at the Refinery and couldn't fault it. Our first visit to NYC and wanted somewhere midtown but not in Times Square and the location was perfect.

The hotel is beautiful and spotlessly clean (our room was cleaned every day). We had a deluxe double queen overlooking the Empire State Building, which was spacious and had all the amenities we needed (only thing that could have improved it would have been a lock on the bathroom door).

The staff, especially the concierge team, were so friendly and helpful. They couldn't have done more to make us feel welcomed. We ate at Parker and Quinn which was delicious and enjoyed the views from the rooftop bar.

I would highly recommend the hotel to anyone looking for a great stay in midtown.
