Cat Pick
Penn Station adjacency is the defining practical advantage — Amtrak arrivals, NJ Transit, and LIRR all terminate here, meaning owners can walk directly from the train platform to the hotel with the cat in carrier without requiring a taxi. The $50 per-night fee plus $250 refundable deposit is clearly communicated and the deposit is returned in full at checkout assuming no damage. The Art Deco interiors provide visual richness that cats may find stimulating when exploring the room. Request rooms in the designated pet category specifically — the hotel uses distinct room assignments for pet guests. Lotte's Korean hospitality standards mean high personal attentiveness from staff.
The New Yorker by Lotte Hotels earns enthusiastic reviews for its iconic Art Deco landmark status — the 43-storey neon-crowned tower described by reviewers as among Manhattan's most visually recognisable hotels. The Penn Station adjacency is praised as the most strategically positioned pet-friendly hotel for train arrivals, with guests particularly appreciating the ease of door-to-platform access. The building's historic character and period details generate consistent affection among architecture-conscious reviewers. The Korean hospitality culture through Lotte is described as attentive and formally courteous. Some reviewers note the designated pet rooms policy adds structure, but the $50 per-night plus deposit policy is considered reasonable for the location. Overall, the New Yorker is described as a historically significant and practically well-positioned hotel with service that reflects its Lotte Hotels ownership.
