Situated between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, just a stone’s throw from Fifth Avenue and Times Square, the hotel offers the perfect home base from which to explore the city’s best attractions and events – a great hotel if you’re a first-time visitor. We loved the unique design and feel of the Sofitel Hotels;  pulling inspiration from local culture and tradition, they are always stylish and fresh, with a slightly Parisian touch of cool. Come here for a one-of-a-kind stay – with the whole city at your fingertips.

The Sofitel New York has two main dining options: Gaby Brasserie Française and Gaby’s Bar. The Brasserie is the place to come for more refined food; located in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, adjacent to the vibrant Theatre District and Times Square, Gaby Brasserie Française brings a taste of 1920s New York glamour to the present day. Gaby is open for breakfast through dinner daily – and they do a great price pre-theatre menu. For breakfast, tuck into organic eggs, savoury French Toast, blueberry pancakes and freshly-squeezed juice. For lunch and dinner, you can expect delicious salads, serious sandwiches and freshly grilled meat and fish. Don’t miss their Lobster Roll, it’s so good.

Gaby’s Bar is the more low-key option in the hotel; lively and sophisticated, Gaby Bar offers classic and creative cocktails, complemented by a casual menu of pub favorites, sandwiches and small plates. Perfect for a quick bite before a theatre show on Broadway or become heading off for a day of sight-seeing.
