The Historic Blue Angel Hotel Lexington Ave, Ascend Hotel Collection

We had a lovely stay. The room was updated, albeit compact. Only two small complaints about the room. The shower is small. Like you bump your head to bend down to wash your lower extremities small. Also, new carpet kept the door from closing without assistance. Several times we had to add extra push to get the door closed. No hap between door and carpet. The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooftop allowed for fun people watching and is lovely. I would definitely stay here again.

I stayed here over the holiday weekend in May. Arrived on a Saturday night and left by 7am Tuesday. There is an attended parking garage next store, but I was able to find parking on the street so I didn't need to use it. The location is great as you can walk or get the subway and get anywhere quickly. Staff is very friendly and the rooms clean. I particularly like how quiet the rooms are. I'm surprised how cheap the room was. I would stay here again.

I stayed at the Blue Angel for one night for a business trip. The room was bigger than expected for what you typically see for an NYC hotel. The shower was a little compact, but the water pressure was great. The mini bar had sparkling water and snacks which were complimentary which was a nice touch. Front desk staff were friendly and accommodating. Had a nice stay!

Wauwwww the rooms are truly AMAZING and i travel a lot. The staff is SUPER friendly and welcomming and helpful, the receptionist are professional, helpful and friendly. Beds are super good, super clean and the energy in the hotel is just super good and the rooms are really quitte and cute. Absolutely recommendable!!! Thank you for the amazing stay. 10 PLUS

I booked my stay on Choice points. The city was FULL this weekend and being a little off the beaten path was fantastic. The entire staff was beyond helpful....they know the meaning of customer service and hospitality. The rooms are "New York" sized..and space is well utilized. We switched rooms mid stay so had both a window room and a non-window room. I see people complain about that....but we loved the no window room....it was very quiet. Beds were super comfortable, linens and towels were nice. Coffee, tea, cocoa in the lobby 24 hours. I would absolutley stay here again!

The front desk staff is amazing! Answering all our questions about our stay in NYC. Love the art deco theme in the lobby, coffee and cream 24/7. The garden level room was exceptionally special because of the serene space it offered including a fridge with complimentary snacks, I will always choose the Blue Angel Hotel!

I stayed at the Blue Angel for 4 nights and loved it. It’s hiding away on 55th Street between Lexington and 3rd, super convenient for walking, bus, and subway. My room was small-ish with few luxuries but it was spotlessly clean, the bed and pillows were soooo comfortable and I heard no noise from adjacent rooms. Of course, since my room faced 55th Street there were Street noises but that’s to be expected. One of the best things about the Blue Angel is it’s staff. They were all so welcoming, friendly and very helpful. This is where I will stay whenever I’m in New York.

In writing reviews that are helpful to my fellow travelers, I try to take into account LOCATION, EXPECTATION, and VALUE. I cannot recommend the Blue Angel MORE highly for a stay. While the Blue Angel isnt as fancy as other hotels I've stayed at (its literally hidden on 55th Street), it still doesnt detract from a terrific experience--I wish I could have given a 4.5. LOCATION--Mid Town East, and hey since its NYC, you walk out the hotel door and you're "in the middle" of things. 55th Ave is in between 3rd Ave and Park Ave. The location is excellent. EXPECTATION--this is NYC, and its in Midtown, most hotel rooms are not going to be large. And the Blue Angel room (king size bed) was small but functional and enough space for my wife and myself. I actually expected the room to be SMALLER. The bathroom is small--the shower (no tub) was literally the size of a phone booth. But in general, the Blue Angel, while small (rooms and bathroom) is functional and comfortable. VALUE--we believe the value for the room size and amenities was reasonable to underpriced--for Midtown NYC. There were other hotels in the area that were more expensive (but since we didnt stay there we couldnt compare room size), but the Blue Angel was a terrific place to overnight esp given the price and the location. The ONLY real downside is the lack of a gym. The upsides (among others)--sodas and snacks in the room are complimentary, which Ive never seen before in a hotel. And the staff was very friendly and helpful, esp MARCOS--who has the late shift and was friendly and helped my wife with some complex instructions for another member of our party that Marcos handled with grace and efficiency.
