The Walker Hotel is a Greenwich Village masterclass in modern comfort and Prohibition-era soul. We worked with Alexandria and her team, who ensured our stay was the utmost delight. Our 18th-floor room offered an iconic Empire State Building view, a wonderfully plush bed, and a sublime bathtub. The lobby—with its fireplace, live jazz, and expert bartender—is a treat to linger in. Perfectly located for any NYC experience, it’s a soulful sanctuary we can't wait to return to.

Perfect location! Everything you’re looking for. A very charming lobby and room. We are especially grateful for Lilian who was extremely professional and sweet to us during our stay. She ensured everything was as smooth as possible for us and we’re very appreciative of her.

This hotel is beyond amazing! I’ve walked by it for years and my work colleagues at Adobe always stay here. Recently, I needed an overnight in this neighborhood and tried it out. Not only did I get the best room - balcony, soaking tub and Empire State view - but everyone was friendly and it was just easy to be here. Great location. C.O. Bigelow toiletries. So clean! It’s the best!!!!

I stay here 2-3 nights a week. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Free live music from students at the New School in the lobby / living room every week night. Nick and the team at Society Café in the back of the house serve a great menu.

We had a really lovely weekend stay here! Overall, the rooms could probably use a little refresh but I think the location makes up for it. Would definitely stay here again. Pros - location is 10/10, staff is super friendly, really cute vibe and decor , great bar/restaurant situation, great view depending on what floor you’re on (pic attached from 16th floor) Cons - rooms are a little stale/outdated (I’d love to see them replace the carpet) and the AC circulation isn’t great (not terrible, but the room was definitely a little humid and the AC wouldn’t go below 71)

The Walker hotel was amazing! The staff were so kind and amenable. The hotel is gorgeous and very aesthetic. Clean and well taken care of. The reason why I didn’t give it a five star review was that their menu wasn’t really gluten and dairy free friendly, which made breakfast hard since we had to order in and the rooms were pretty dark which made it hard to do my make up.

Really great hotel in Greenwich village! We were able to check in easily and talk to the staff with any questions. The room was a cozy fit for two! We did hope to have to have a little bit more room for our things but the view and the giant bathroom (huge bathtub) were great! There was jazz one of the evenings and sitting in the lobby near the fire place was a highlight of the stay. Great location as you can walk to union square and catch any train to get around the city but still far away from the crowds. We will definitely be back on our next visit!

We stayed at the Walker Hotel for our honeymoon and had an amazing experience. The hotel is stylish, cozy, and perfect for a romantic stay. Our room was clean, comfortable, and beautifully designed. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the location made it easy to explore the city. The food was delicious. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it for couples or anyone looking for a great hotel experience.
