FAQs when booking at Hotel Lucerne

  • Can I request an early check-in at the Lucerne Hotel?

    The standard check-in time at the Lucerne Hotel is 16:00, but you can request an early check-in if you'll be arriving beforehand. It won't cost any extra, although it also cannot be guaranteed. There will need to be a room available in the type you booked, and it will need to have been fully serviced by housekeeping. In the event that a room is not available for early check-in, the hotel is happy to keep your bags stored safely, so you can start exploring Manhattan right away. Guests can use the baggage holding area free of charge.

  • Does The Lucerne Hotel have a good restaurant?

    The Nice Matin Restaurant is attached to the hotel, and it's the perfect place to get breakfast, lunch and dinner. It's a four-star restaurant that serves up French Mediterranean cuisine, and has been featured as one of the Upper West Side's best restaurants by New York Magazine. If you don't feel like going out, you can also order most meals from the restaurant to your room. You can find a range of dishes such as tuna tartare and burgers with truffle aioli. However, reservations are recommended.

  • What services are available at the Lucerne Hotel for business travellers?

    The Lucerne has a range of benefits for business travellers. They have multiple meeting rooms with projectors and drop-down screens that are useful for small conferences or presentations.
