Tuscany by LuxUrban Overview
First Impressions
Walking into Tuscany by LuxUrban, you immediately get that boutique hotel vibe — it’s polished without being stuffy, which honestly feels perfect for this part of Manhattan. The lobby has this warm, residential feel that makes you forget you’re staying in a four-star hotel in one of the busiest cities in the world. I mean, the staff actually remembers your name after the first day, which is something you don’t always get in New York hotels.
Location & Neighborhood
Murray Hill gets overlooked by a lot of tourists, but that’s actually what makes staying here so smart. You’re literally a few blocks from Grand Central — I walked there in about eight minutes — which means you can hop on the subway and be anywhere in the city quickly. The neighborhood has this lived-in feel with great little restaurants and bars that locals actually frequent. Plus, you’re close enough to Midtown that you can walk to places like the Empire State Building or Bryant Park, but far enough away that you’re not dealing with the Times Square chaos every time you step outside.
The Room Experience
The rooms at Tuscany by LuxUrban are where this place really shines — and I get why couples rate the location so highly because these spaces feel intimate and well-designed. The beds are genuinely comfortable (not just hotel marketing speak), with quality linens that make you want to sleep in. What struck me most was how they’ve managed to make relatively compact New York hotel rooms feel spacious through smart design choices. The bathrooms are modern and functional, and you know what? The water pressure is actually decent, which anyone who’s stayed in older NYC hotels will appreciate.
Practical Comforts
There are those little details that make a difference when you’re staying somewhere for more than just a night or two. The Wi-Fi works reliably throughout the building — I never had to switch to my phone’s hotspot, which happens more often than it should in hotels. The fitness center is small but has the essentials, and it’s rarely crowded since most guests seem to prefer exploring the city on foot. Room service arrives promptly, and while the menu isn’t extensive, what they do offer is well-executed and reasonably priced for Manhattan standards.
Why Guests Love It
Tuscany by LuxUrban works because it strikes that balance between being a proper hotel and feeling like a temporary home base in the city. The location really is the star here — you’re connected to everything without being overwhelmed by tourist crowds. It’s the kind of place where you can have a quiet morning coffee before heading out to explore, and then come back to a peaceful retreat at the end of a long day of walking around Manhattan. For couples especially, there’s something appealing about having this calm, comfortable space to return to after experiencing all the energy New York throws at you.

Great location, a short walk from Times Square, grand central, Empire State Building etc. room was spacious and bed was comfortable. Clean modern bathroom. Overall great hotel – no complaints
Lisa from Canada (8/10)
We had a great stay at the Tuscany hotel.
1. Location is perfect it is a 2 block walk to grand central station which brought us anywhere we needed to go in just a few minutes, it is also located in a quiet enough neighbourhood so heard next to nothing in our room which we enjoyed at night. Tons of good restaurants close to the hotel we spent so many nights in a pub called The Junction one block away along with Park Tavern Restaurant, house of lasagne and The Shakespeare.
2. Big room for the price, nicely decorated, great shower and super comfy bed.
3. Very friendly staff, cleaning staff always so warm and kind in the morning.Irene from United States (7/10)
