THE VINE HOTEL BRONX
3701 White Plains Rd, Bronx, NY 10467, Bronx, United States
Guest rating: 4.0 / 5
The Vine Hotel Bronx is a mid-size property set in the Bronx at 3701 White Plains Rd, within easy reach of two of the borough's signature green spaces. Guests describe the hotel as new-feeling, with several reviewers specifically citing complimentary parking, an included breakfast, and a jacuzzi-equipped room as highlights of their stay. Formal amenity documentation is limited, so travelers should confirm specifics like breakfast hours and jacuzzi room availability directly with the property. The New York Botanical Garden is roughly 2.4 km away and the Bronx Zoo about 3.7 km away, making the hotel a practical base for visitors focused on those attractions. Manhattan's major cultural sites -- The Met Cloisters, Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim, the American Museum of Natural History, and Midtown landmarks like Times Square, Rockefeller Center, and the Empire State Building -- are all reachable but sit further afield, ranging from about 6 km to 18 km away. Reviews are mixed: alongside praise for a modern feel and friendly staff, some guests reported cleanliness issues and pest concerns, so expectations may vary by stay. Overall, it functions as a Bronx-based lodging option best suited to travelers prioritizing proximity to the Botanical Garden and Zoo over a Midtown Manhattan address.
Best for
This hotel suits travelers whose main priorities are the New York Botanical Garden and Bronx Zoo, both within a few kilometers, as well as budget-conscious road-trippers who value the free parking and included breakfast mentioned by guests. It's less ideal for visitors wanting to walk to Manhattan's core museums or Midtown landmarks, since those sites are 12-18 km away and would require a commute.
Travel tips
Because the major Manhattan attractions (Central Park, MoMA, Times Square, Grand Central) are all more than 12 km away, plan on public transit or a car for those excursions rather than walking. Given the short distance to the Botanical Garden and Bronx Zoo, pairing a same-day visit to both is logistically efficient. Since guest experiences with room condition have varied, it may be worth requesting a recently renovated or specifically inspected room upon check-in.
What guests say
Recurring positive themes in guest feedback include a modern, newly-updated feel, friendly and welcoming staff, a convenient location, complimentary parking and breakfast, and appreciation for jacuzzi-equipped rooms. However, a notable negative thread describes rude staff interactions, unclean rooms, and pest sightings in at least one experience, indicating inconsistency in service and housekeeping standards across stays. The contrast between glowing and critical reviews suggests that while many guests have positive stays, quality control may vary by room or visit.
