Recent guests raved about The Michelangelo's prime location, set within walking distance of major attractions like Times Square and Fifth Avenue. And although most of the hotel's rooms and suites are pretty spacious (for New York City, anyway), many previous visitors agreed that you should book a room with a view since those without one can feel a little drab. Still, travelers praise the accommodations for their extra touches like marble bathrooms, terrycloth bathrobes and flat-screen TVs. The hotel also has four well-equipped meeting rooms for visitors in town on business. After a long day, you can unwind at the casual hotel lounge, which earns props from previous patrons for its tasty Italian fare.
