What Ravel Hotel actually is

The Ravel's reputation rests on its roof: Penthouse 808, a multi-level indoor-outdoor bar and restaurant complex with a pool, sitting directly beneath the Queensboro Bridge with the whole of Midtown Manhattan laid out across the river.

Rooms below are large, contemporary and comfortable, many with private balconies. The Queensboro Plaza station is a few minutes' walk, putting Midtown roughly fifteen minutes away, and the rates are well under Manhattan equivalents.

What stands out

Questions people ask about Ravel Hotel

Is the rooftop pool open to hotel guests?

Yes, though it operates seasonally and is frequently booked for private events in summer — check before relying on it.

How noisy is Queens Plaza?

The elevated N and W tracks run nearby, so lower floors on the plaza side pick up train noise. Higher floors and the river side are much quieter.
