Unbelievable Luxury Awaits: Hilton Club The Quin, NYC - Your Dream Getaway!
Unbelievable Luxury Awaits: Hilton Club The Quin, NYC - My Brain's Dumped All Over It! (But in a Good Way)
Okay, listen up, because I'm about to spill the tea, the coffee, and maybe a little bit of my soul on the Hilton Club The Quin in NYC. This place? It's not just a hotel. It's…an experience. And getting ready to write a detailed review? It felt like trying to wrangle a herd of fluffy, opinionated kittens. But here we go. Buckle up, because we're going deep.
First Impressions: Shiny and…Actually Accessible?! (Yay!)
Right off the bat, let's be real: NYC hotels can be a logistical nightmare. But The Quin? Surprisingly good. Accessibility is a big deal for me (and should be for everyone), and I was thrilled to see solid effort. The elevator situation was smooth (crucial!), and I noticed features like ramps, which is a HUGE plus. I can't personally vouch for specific wheelchair accessibility of every room but the impression was positive, and the fact that they've even thought about it is a major win.
Accessibility Score: 8/10 (Could always be better, but a solid start!)
Tech & Connectivity: Free Wi-Fi Nirvana (Finally!)
YES! Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! That's music to my weary traveler ears. I'm a sucker for a good connection and the internet access was pretty reliable. I also appreciated the fact it offered Internet access – wireless and Internet access – LAN options. No more scrambling for a signal or suffering through dial-up speeds. You can actually get some work done (or, you know, binge-watch Netflix) without pulling your hair out. The Internet services in general were top-notch and they had Audio-visual equipment for special events, Projector/LED display, Wi-Fi for special events – so if you're planning a meeting, they’ve got you covered.
Internet Score: 9/10 (Because seriously, free and functional Wi-Fi is a gift from the gods!)
Rooms & Decadence: Plush, Polished, and…Do I Actually Belong Here?
Okay, let's talk rooms. They’re seriously gorgeous. Think sleek, modern design with all the bells and whistles. They offer a bunch of amenities: Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathroom phone, Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Carpeting, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Interconnecting room(s) available, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Safety/security feature, Satellite/cable channels, Scale, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Visual alarm, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens. I started with the bathtub and the bathrobes, because, self-care, am I right? I had to actually take a moment and appreciate the little details like the toiletries (which, yes, I shamelessly swiped a few of).
I think the soundproofing and blackout curtains were a total game changer. The city that never sleeps can also get really loud, but I slept like a baby.
Room Score: 9.5/10 (Minus half a point because my messy self felt slightly intimidated by how perfect everything was)
Cleanliness & Safety: The Cleanest Hotel I've Ever Seen (And I'm a Germaphobe!)
Listen, I'm a bit of a germaphobe. So, the fact that they're on top of their cleanliness game here is HUGE. They’re not messing around. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, and Rooms sanitized between stays? Check, check, and check. Plus, you've got the Hand sanitizer readily available, Staff trained in safety protocol, Sterilizing equipment, Individually-wrapped food options, etc. It made me feel genuinely safe and comfortable. They also had: First aid kit, Doctor/nurse on call, Fire extinguisher, Smoke alarms, CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside property. A BIG thumbs up. They even had Room sanitization opt-out available which meant you could tailor it to your needs – I thought was a good and mindful touch.
Safety Score: 10/10 (Peace of mind is priceless!)
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Nom Nom Nom…and Maybe a Little Booze (Happy Hour!)
Okay, so, this is where things get really fun. The Quin has a bunch of options. Restaurants, Coffee shop, Bar, Poolside bar, Snack bar. I'm a total sucker for a good Happy hour. They also offered Asian cuisine in restaurant, Western cuisine in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant, and International cuisine in restaurant. I didn't get a chance to try them all, but the food I did sample was delicious. They also do Breakfast [buffet], Breakfast service, Breakfast in room, Breakfast takeaway service, A la carte in restaurant, Buffet in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Desserts in restaurant, Salad in restaurant, Soup in restaurant, and Alternative meal arrangement.
Dining Score: 9/10 (Would have loved to have sampled everything, but my stomach only has so much room!)
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Hello, Spa! Hello, Sauna!
I'm not usually a spa person, but The Quin's spa tempted me. You also had: Body scrub, Body wrap, Foot bath, Massage, Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, Swimming pool [outdoor], Gym/fitness, Fitness center. The Pool with view was stunning. The spa and sauna were fantastic. The Fitness center was well-equipped. My inner stressed-out person melted away.
But here's the thing that really got me: the atmosphere. It wasn't just about the luxury; it was about the feeling. It felt like a genuine escape. They also offer Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal, Couple's room, Proposal spot, Shrine
Relaxation Score: 9.5/10 (My shoulders are still thanking me.)

Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn’t your grandma’s perfectly-planned travel itinerary. This is…well, this is me, loose-lipped and ready to ramble my way through a few days at the Hilton Club The Quin in New York City. Let's see if I can make it back with all my sanity… or any of my credit cards.
Day 1: Arrival and the Glorious, Glorious Bed…and the Great Pizza Quest
- 1:00 PM: Arrival at the Quin, Jet-Lagged and Jumpy. Okay, lemme tell you, after a red-eye, the lobby of a Hilton Club is like arriving in heaven. Seriously, the sheer cleanliness of it all. The Quin’s got this art deco vibe that's already whispering, "Relax, darling, you deserve this." Check-in was blissfully swift. I swear, the guy behind the desk gave me the look – the "you look like you need a drink" look. Already my favourite.
- 1:30 PM: Room Reconnaissance & Dramatic Bed Praise. The room! Oh, the room. It was bigger than my actual apartment back home. And the bed. Oh, the bed. I'm talking fluffy pillows-that-you-could-drown-in, crisp white linens, the whole shebang. I immediately face-planted and then spent a good twenty minutes just…breathing. It's a life-changing bed, I swear. Might need to take a nap just to fully appreciate the glory.
- 3:00 PM: The Great Pizza Quest Commences. So, I’m in New York. Gotta have pizza, right? This is where the "perfectly planned" part starts to crumble. I had some recommendations, but let's be honest, I’m pretty much winging it. Armed with Google Maps and a caffeine buzz, I set out. First attempt… closed. Epic fail. Second place… lines around the block. Fine, I’ll come back tomorrow!
- 4:30 PM: Pizza Regret and a Random Bookstore. Dejected, I wandered down a side street. Luckily, there was a small, independent bookstore. Heaven. Found myself getting lost in rows of new and used books. Left with a first edition and a new hope. Plus, this bookstore had personality! The owner was this eccentric older woman. I told her about my pizza fail and she just cackled and said, "Honey, New York pizza is a journey. Embrace the chaos!" Wise words, indeed.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner and a Near Wardrobe Malfunction. Finally found a decent Italian place near the hotel. The pasta was divine. Almost knocked over a waiter. Didn't quite say the right words. Also, almost spilled red wine on a stranger. My coordination is not optimal.
- 8:00 PM: Back at the Quin, Bedtime Bliss…Again. That bed! It’s calling to me. The day’s exhaustion hits hard. I’m calling it a night, with a final thought: Tomorrow, I conquer pizza. It's on my to-do list. My number one priority.
Day 2: Art, Shopping, and the Pizza Victory (Hopefully!)
- 9:00 AM: Breakfast & The Most Expensive Coffee in the World. Room service! Which means more time in that glorious bed. Coffee was ridiculously expensive. It was more than a small mortgage payment. But worth it, because I was in New York!
- 10:30 AM: MoMA: The Sensory Overload. The Whitney was closed. Well, the MoMA it is! I wandered through the museum, blinking in the daylight, staring for an hour at Van Gogh's "Starry Night." So beautiful. The sheer scale of it all…it's overwhelming in the best way. I bought a postcard. My credit card hurts!
- 1:00 PM: Fifth Avenue Follies. Time to do some damage! Window shopping on Fifth Avenue is my version of a cardio workout. It's the ultimate tease. Everything is beautiful and expensive. I went into Gucci just to touch the merchandise. Then I left.
- 2:30 PM: The Pizza Redemption! Finally. After my pizza failure the day before, I found a place that made pizza. The slice was glorious. Melted cheese, crispy crust, the works. I looked at the pizza and then at my life and realized: Life is good.
- 4:00 PM: Park Daydreams. Central Park. Spent an hour or so wandering. Felt like I was in a movie. It was so relaxing. I saw a dog break its leash and run wild. I decided to leave it alone.
- 6:00 PM: Pre-Theater Drinks (and Awkward Small Talk!). Found a cute (and crowded) bar near the theater district. Got into a weird philosophical discussion with a stranger about the meaning of life. Realized my conversational skills are rusty. Drank another cocktail to compensate.
- 8:00 PM: Broadway Brilliance. The show was amazing! The acting, the lights, all of it. I got emotional, of course. It's a disease.
- 10:30 PM: Late-Night Pizza Regret. You know, I really thought I had this pizza thing down today. But it was late, the pizza was cold, and it wasn’t that good. Maybe tomorrow’s the charm?
Day 3: Museums, Markets, and the Sad Departure
- 9:00 AM: Last Breakfast in Bed, Sobbing a Little. Coffee, pastries, and existential dread. I seriously don’t want to leave this bed. Must…stay…in…bed…forever.
- 10:30 AM: The Frick Collection. A place of beauty. Spent a few hours getting lost in a collection of art. Feeling cultured. This place made me forget I was here. Seriously consider staying.
- 1:00 PM: Chelsea Market. Food, Food, Food! The smells! The crowds. The sheer variety of food… It was overwhelming, but in a good way. I ate everything in sight, from dumplings to gourmet sandwiches. Ate way too much. I don't care!
- 3:00 PM: Souvenir Shopping & Emotional Spending. Found a few things to take back home. Spent way too much money on trinkets, books, t-shirts, and other random stuff.
- 4:30 PM: Last Cocktail & a Bittersweet Goodbye. Back to the bar near the hotel. One last Manhattan. And then… the check-out. It's such a shame.
- 6:00 PM: Departure. The Quin, I will be back. Until next time, New York. I'm sure you'll miss me as much as I'll miss you (and hopefully the pizza will be better next time).
So, yeah. Not perfect, not polished, but absolutely, undeniably me. And that, my friends, has been my messy, glorious time at The Quin. Now, to find some anti-jetlag pills and a way to pay my bills…
Indonesian Paradise: Your Private Pool Villa Awaits (V411)
Unbelievable Luxury Awaits: Hilton Club The Quin, NYC - Your Dream Getaway! ... or is it? Let's spill the tea.
Okay, spill. Is this place ACTUALLY "unbelievable"? Like, actual magic carpet ride-level good?
Okay, deep breaths. "Unbelievable"? Hmm... it *leans* towards that. The Quin is, no lie, seriously swanky. Think chandeliers, like, *serious* chandeliers in places you'd least expect them (like the elevator, a glorious, shining rectangle). I walked in, and my jaw practically detached. I felt like I should've brought a monocle. But, and there's always a but, right? It's not *perfect*. More on that later. Let's just say, the magic carpet... might be a little threadbare in a few spots.
What kind of rooms are we talking? Like, shoe-box apartments, or actual *living* space? And what about the famous views?
Room-wise, it's a mixed bag, darling. You've got studios, which are... well, they’re stylish studios, but NYC studios are still NYC studios, so don’t expect the Taj Mahal. Then you move up to the suites, and OH BOY. I *almost* snagged a suite with a terrace overlooking Central Park. Almost. (Someone beat me to it, the scoundrels!) The views... are legendary. Imagine yourself, sipping a cocktail (more on cocktails later), looking out at the glittering lights of the city. Pure movie magic. But, um, I also had a room facing *another building*. So, you know. The lottery of rooms is real. Prepare yourself.
Alright, the location. Is it actually convenient, or are we talking a five-mile trek to get anywhere interesting?
Location... GOLD. Absolutely golden. Right on 57th Street, near 6th Avenue. Carnegie Hall? Right there. Central Park? Stroll away. Shopping? Oh, sweet heavens. You could literally stumble out of the hotel, bankrupt yourself in designer stores, and then crawl back to bed. Excellent location, seriously. Subway access is a breeze, too. No complaints there. Unless, you know, you *hate* being in the middle of EVERYTHING. Which, honestly, is kind of the point of NYC, isn't it?
The Amenities! Gimme the skinny. Pool? Gym? Do they have a laundry service that doesn't bankrupt you?
Okay, okay, the amenities. The Quin's got a decent gym (I did some serious damage on the treadmill, mostly compensating for the cocktails). No pool. Big bummer, honestly. New York in the summer, a pool would've been HEAVEN. They *do* have a laundry service, which… well, let's just say it's the kind where you're afraid to see the final bill. Pack light, or be prepared to weep quietly when you get the statement. There's also a fantastic little art gallery in the lobby (very "sophisticated," you know?).
Let's get real. The service. Is it truly polished, or is it the usual hotel-staff-who-don't-care vibe? And what about the concierge?
Service is generally excellent. The staff *try*. The front desk folks are genuinely helpful and friendly. The bellhops are on point. The concierge? Ah, the gatekeeper of the good times. I actually had a really funny interaction. I was trying to score a last-minute reservation at this trendy restaurant, and the concierge... looked at me, sighed dramatically, and said, "Darling, you've come to the *right* place. Let me work my magic." And, well, he DID. Within a half hour, I was set. But here's the thing - sometimes the staff can be too busy for their own good, at peak times. It’s busy, there's a lot going on, expect a bit of patience. And remember to tip; they deserve it!
Food and Drink! Is there a killer restaurant? Are the cocktails worth the price? Tell me EVERYTHING!
The restaurant situation... mixed. I mean, it exists, it's nice, the food *is* good, but not transcendent. Not the kind of place you'll be writing sonnets about. The real win, in my opinion, is The bar. Oh, the bar! They make a killer Manhattan, and the atmosphere is perfect for pre-theater drinks or a late-night nightcap. The bartenders? Charismatic, knowledgeable... and they remember your name. The prices? Prepare yourself. Remember that "threadbare magic carpet" comment? Yeah, those cocktails might fray your wallet a bit. But the experience, the vibe? Worth it. That bar *made* my trip. I found myself going back, night after night. It became my little oasis of civilized chaos. The olives were excellent, too. Don't judge me.
The Verdict: Would you go back? Seriously now. With your own money?
Okay, the truth? Yes. I would. With my own money. (Maybe not *all* of my money, let's be real). Yes, it costs a pretty penny. Yes, the "unbelievable" factor has a few dents. But the location is perfect, the rooms are beautiful, the bar is to die for, and the service is generally top-notch. It's a *special* hotel. It's the kind of place where you feel… fancy. And sometimes, in a city like New York, feeling fancy is exactly what you need. Just, you know, save up. And maybe bring a spare monocle. You never know.
Is it better for couples, solo travelers, or families?
Couples, absolutely. Romantic getaway central. Solo travelers? Great, you'll feel pampered and safe. Families... hmm. Depends on your family. The rooms are spacious enough, but it's more of a sophisticated vibe. Not exactly the kid-friendly Disney World.
Any hidden gems or insider tips you can share? Dish!
Okay, okay… first, the bar. Go early. Get a window seat. Watch the city wake up. Second, don't be afraid to ask for a room upgrade. They *might* have one available. Thirdly, pack comfortable shoes; you WILL walk. And fourth, embrace the chaos. Embrace the city. EmbraceOcean View Inn
