The Empire Hotel sits beside Lincoln Center on the Upper West Side, with a rooftop pool deck and a large lobby. It suits culture-focused travellers who want easy access to concerts and Central Park. Its VIPet package waives fees and adds a dog bed and bowl.

Pets must be leashed in public areas. Housekeeping requires a human in the room, and pets may be left during service only if secured in a crate. Emotional support animals do not qualify as service animals under the policy.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
