Hotel Belleclaire

Upper West Side & Central Park


This landmark beaux-arts building, designed by architect Emory Roth in 1903, houses a 249-room hotel that's good value for the location. Contemporary rooms with pops of color and modern furnishings come in a variety of sizes and configurations, with some units bigger or with better daylight than others; beds range from full (double) to king. Some rooms face interior alleyways.

A new bar is set to be installed by 2020.
