Hotels in New York
New York City is one of the world’s great city breaks: Times Square and Broadway, Central Park, the Statue of Liberty, renowned museums and a food scene from every corner of the globe. Most of the sights are in Manhattan, and the 24-hour subway makes it easy to get around.
Midtown is the most popular base for first-time visitors, close to Times Square, Fifth Avenue and the Empire State Building. Lower Manhattan suits those who want the Financial District, the 9/11 Memorial and ferries to the Statue of Liberty, while the Upper West Side and Brooklyn offer a quieter, more residential feel.

Where to stay in New York
Midtown & Times Square
The busiest and most central area, with Broadway theatres, Rockefeller Center, Fifth Avenue shopping and the Empire State Building. Ideal for first-time visitors who want to walk to the main sights.
Lower Manhattan
Home to Wall Street, the 9/11 Memorial and Museum, One World Observatory and ferries to the Statue of Liberty. Quieter at night and well connected by subway.
Upper West Side
A residential neighbourhood between Central Park and the Hudson River, near the American Museum of Natural History. Popular with families who want a calmer base.
Chelsea & Greenwich Village
Leafy streets, the High Line, Chelsea Market and lively restaurants. A great choice for couples and repeat visitors who want neighbourhood character.
Brooklyn
Across the East River, with Brooklyn Bridge Park, DUMBO and Williamsburg. Hotels are often better value, with fast subway links into Manhattan.
Best time to visit New York
Spring (April to June) and autumn (September to early November) are the most comfortable seasons, with mild weather for walking and Central Park at its best. December is festive but busy and cold. Summers are hot and humid, and January to March brings the lowest hotel rates.
Travel tips
- Use the subway and tap in with a contactless card or phone — it is usually faster than a taxi in Midtown traffic.
- New York has three major airports: JFK and LaGuardia in Queens, and Newark in New Jersey. Choose flights to suit your hotel location.
- Hotel rooms in Manhattan are often compact; check the room size if you are travelling as a family.
