Eurostars Wall Street

About Eurostars Wall Street

Eurostars Wall Street suits travelers who want to stay at the southern tip of Manhattan and walk to the Financial District's landmarks. Couples on a city break, business travelers with meetings downtown and families who prefer a quieter base all fit here. Front Street sits among old commercial blocks, a short walk from the waterfront and the 9/11 Memorial. Evenings are calm, and the rest of the city is a subway ride away. Book through the IMPT app.

Eurostars Wall Street is a 4-star hotel with a straightforward, businesslike take on a downtown stay. The booking supplier gives it a guest score of 3.9 out of 5 from 638 reviews, which suggests a solid, well-run property rather than a showy one. Rooms are air conditioned and connected, and the address puts the Financial District, City Hall and the waterfront within easy reach.

The setting

Eurostars Wall Street stands at 129 Front Street, in the Financial District of Downtown Manhattan, where narrow streets run between tall office blocks and the waterfront. Central Park, at Fifth Avenue and 59th Street, is about 4.5 miles (7.2 km) away. Subway stations sit nearby for the rest.

The immediate setting of Eurostars Wall Street is old commercial Manhattan: Front Street runs through the Financial District blocks near the East River, close to the ferries at the southern tip of the island. Mornings here belong to office workers, and weekends are quieter than Midtown. The Theater District is a subway ride north, and the museums and parks of the city center are within a similar reach. Use the address as a calm base and travel out for the day.

Location and neighborhood

Wall Street gives this district its name, and the neighborhood around it covers the southern tip of Manhattan. Narrow colonial lanes meet towers of glass and stone, and civic buildings from the city's first centuries stand within sight of trading floors. Streets here are older than the grid further north, so blocks bend and names repeat in ways that reward a paper map. On weekdays the sidewalks move fast at lunch and thin out after the closing bell. Weekends are noticeably calmer, with more room on the sidewalk.

West of the financial core, Battery Park City is a planned strip of apartment blocks, lawns and a continuous waterside esplanade along the Hudson. The two areas sit within a short walk of each other, which suits a short work trip: meetings in the towers, then open sky and river air at the end of the day. Eurostars Wall Street sits within this pair of neighborhoods, and the geography is easy to learn. North is uptown, toward Tribeca and the rest of the island; south is the harbor, the ferries and the tip of the island.

Getting there and around

Three airports serve the city. JFK is around 13 miles (20.5 km) away; the AirTrain links to subway and commuter rail at Jamaica and to the A train at Howard Beach. Newark Liberty has its own AirTrain connection to NJ Transit and Amtrak trains into Penn Station. Grand Central Terminal, Penn Station and the Port Authority Bus Terminal are around 3.6 miles (5.8 km) north, a short subway ride or a longer walk. The area center is around 3.8 miles (6.1 km) from Eurostars Wall Street. Subway trains run all night; tap a contactless card or phone to pay, and check service changes with the MTA before a late trip.

Nearby sights and food

Most of the signature sights sit within walking distance. The 9/11 Memorial and its two reflecting pools are a short walk north, and the museum beside them is ticketed. Battery Park faces the harbor at the island's tip, where the free Staten Island Ferry leaves from Whitehall Terminal and passes the Statue of Liberty on its way across. Ticketed ferries to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island leave from Battery Park itself. The walk across the Brooklyn Bridge starts a little east, and Little Island and Hudson River Park follow the waterfront to the north.

Eating here splits between the weekday crowd and the evening trade. Around Wall Street, counters and cafeterias fill fast at lunch with office workers, and many close on weekends, so a Sunday dinner needs a plan. Head north into Tribeca for a wider spread: Italian, Japanese, steakhouse, and small places with tasting menus. Battery Park City has a cluster of casual spots near the water, plus groceries for a picnic on the esplanade. Near the old seaport on the East River, cobbled streets hold seafood counters and pubs. Reserve ahead for a table after a conference.

A day from Eurostars Wall Street

A day from Eurostars Wall Street on a work trip fits around meetings. Start early with a walk along the Battery Park City esplanade, where the Hudson catches first light and the harbor opens ahead. Cross into the financial core for a morning of calls, then take lunch late, when the counters on the side streets thin out. In the afternoon, book a slot at the 9/11 Museum or ride the free Staten Island Ferry for a harbor crossing and back. After a final round of email, walk the Brooklyn Bridge at sunset, or head north to Little Island for the evening air. Dinner in Tribeca closes the day.
