The Kimberly Hotel is a privately owned property in Manhattan's fashionable Midtown area. Known for it's well appointed suites and apartments for extended stays the Kimberly Hotel has recently refurbished their Luxury Suites which include one bedroom and two bedroom configurations. The one bedroom luxury suite is now available at an excellent value of $449 plus tax/night including buffet breakfast for two adults and parking. The one bedroom suite is spacious and very well equipped to make for a comfortable stay for two adults. Guests walk into a spacious living room which opens out into a balcony with beautiful views of the city's skyline. Suites on higher floors also afford a view of the Chrysler building which is quite close to the property.

Though the suite has a decent sized bathroom it is not attached to the bedroom. A dining area, study area, wet bar, microwave and refrigerator make the suite perfect for long stays as well. Guests are bound to love the fact that they can walk around to famous landmarks like the Grand Central Terminal, Rockefeller Center (which is the nearest Subway station), Radio City Music Hall, Times Square, Theater District, United Nations and more.

The hotel's all day dining restaurant is under renovation and would soon re-open as the Alfred. Meanwhile all meals are served in Nikki Midtown which is a meditteranean themed restaurant in the property. A roof-top lounge by the name of 'The Upstairs' is also on the cards. Though the Kimberly Hotel does not have an in-house fitness facility it does give out passes to the New York Health & Racquet Club to guests without any charge.
