Hotel Review: Walker Hotel Greenwich Village, New York

Every detail of the Walker Hotel Greenwich village is a piece of art. Standing tall since the 1920s between uptown and downtown New York City, the hotel is a landmark on Fifth Avenue. Elegantly preserved, the historic building is inspired by Georgian architecture. A sophisticated façade with cast stone trim, restoration antique glass, and copper-clad bay windows evoke the early days of Greenwich Village.  

Walking distance from popular destinations and sites like SoHo, Chelsea, Union Square, Washington Square Park, and the renowned Meatpacking District is the Walker Hotel Greenwich Village, a luxury hotel in New York City's landmark Greenwich Village district. The Walker Hotel, which has 113 guest rooms, is also the location of the brand-new market-to-table American restaurant Society Cafe. 

Elope in the city life with attractively decorated retro-style rooms. The fireplace in the lobby immediately brings back memories of home. It's not like coming to a hotel but your own apartment. The hotel for location and value and the staff made our stay exceptional. The hotel offers free guided walking tours on Sundays to Greenwich village, where you can learn about the history of Manhattan.

Uri at check-in handled us very well and took the time to explain the hotel and its facilities. Uri also took the time to explain to us what we could do when we were in New York City. The General Manager, Peter Yeung, ensured we enjoyed our stay at the hotel.

We had a small air conditioning problem, and the housekeeper and her team went all out to fix it for us. 

The F&B team took care of us at breakfast, and the chef's hand-crafted meals were scrumptious.
