New Yorker by Lotte Hotels

About New Yorker by Lotte Hotels

New Yorker by Lotte Hotels suits travelers who want a classic Midtown address and a simple, functional base for a Manhattan visit. The building sits on Eighth Avenue in Chelsea, with Penn Station next door and Times Square about 0.6 miles (0.9 km) away in a straight line. Business travelers value the listed business center and fitness center; families can ask about family rooms and cots. Couples planning long days of walking and theater evenings get a central position. Late arrivals find a 24-hour front desk listed.

New Yorker by Lotte Hotels is a 4-star hotel, rated by its official star classification, and the supplier records a guest score of 3.9 out of 5 from 11428 reviews. Read that score as a picture of a large, busy, established Midtown property rather than a small boutique stay: many guests, high turnover, a steady stream of arrivals through the day. It is the kind of place to sleep, shower and set out from, with a terrace and bars listed among the shared spaces. Confirm the room type and floor with the property when you book.

Ask the property which of these are open during your dates, whether any carry a charge, and how to reach each one from the lobby.

The setting

New Yorker by Lotte Hotels stands at 481 Eighth Avenue, on the eastern edge of Chelsea where the neighborhood meets Midtown. Penn Station is about 0.1 miles (0.2 km) away in a straight line, which keeps rail arrivals and departures simple. Times Square is about 0.6 miles (0.9 km) in a straight line and Grand Central Terminal about 0.9 miles (1.4 km); Central Park, at Fifth Avenue and 59th Street, is about 1.4 miles (2.2 km). The 9/11 Memorial is about 3.0 miles (4.9 km) south. JFK is about 14 miles (22 km) in a straight line, LaGuardia about 6.5 miles (10.4 km), Newark Liberty about 10 miles (16.8 km).

Location and neighborhood

Chelsea covers the West Side between roughly 14th and 30th Streets, with Hudson Yards rising just north of it around 30th to 34th Streets. The two are often walked as one area. Chelsea keeps a low-rise, residential feel around its historic district and its gallery blocks, while Hudson Yards is tall, new and built around a public square and a cluster of towers. For a first visit, the appeal is density: an elevated park, a market hall, riverfront open space and a theater district all sit within a comfortable walk of each other.

The grid helps. Numbered streets run east to west and avenues north to south, so a walk from the river inland is easy to follow. Start at the water and work east: Hudson River Park and Little Island first, then the High Line, then the blocks of galleries and the market hall, then Broadway. Evenings belong to the Theater District, a short walk or one subway stop north. Weekdays are quieter than weekends on the High Line, and mornings are the calmest time on the river. New Yorker by Lotte Hotels puts all of this within a short walk or a single ride.

Getting there and around

Airports are the usual arrival point. JFK and Newark Liberty are both reachable by rail and subway links, and LaGuardia is closest by road. This part of Manhattan lies around 14 miles (22 km) from the airport, and travel times vary through the day, so check live conditions before setting out. Penn Station is the nearest major rail terminal, 0.9 miles (1.4 km) away, with Grand Central Terminal and the Port Authority Bus Terminal a little further east. The area center sits around 0.6 miles (0.9 km) from the hotel. Subway service changes are common at weekends; check the transit authority before you travel.

Nearby sights and food

The High Line is the anchor sight: an elevated park on a former freight rail line, running from Gansevoort Street to West 34th Street, free to enter and best walked early in the day. Hudson Yards holds the Vessel and a 100th-floor observation deck with an outdoor terrace and glass floor. Little Island and Hudson River Park give riverfront paths, lawns and views across to the harbor. The Intrepid Museum occupies a pier to the north. Broadway theaters cluster around Times Square, a short walk north, and other observation decks across Midtown are one or two subway stops away, all within easy reach of New Yorker by Lotte Hotels.

Chelsea Market is the obvious starting point for food: a covered market hall of stalls and small counters, useful for a quick lunch or a coffee between sights. Around it, the neighborhood eats in a few registers. Pizza by the slice, bagels, delis and diners suit a fast meal; Italian, Mexican, Thai, Japanese and Middle Eastern kitchens fill the blocks between Sixth and Ninth Avenues. Hudson Yards adds polished modern dining rooms. Reservations help at dinner, especially near the Theater District, where pre-theater sittings fill early. Vegetarian and vegan options are widely available.

A day from New Yorker by Lotte Hotels

Begin early at New Yorker by Lotte Hotels and head for the High Line while it is quiet, entering near Gansevoort Street or at one of the mid-block stairs and walking north toward Hudson Yards. Break for coffee and a late breakfast in the market hall, then spend an hour on the river at Little Island or along Hudson River Park. In the afternoon, ride up an observation deck at Hudson Yards for the view, or cross town to a Midtown deck. Rest before an evening curtain: theaters around Times Square usually start at 7 or 8 pm, so check the show. Finish with a late supper near New Yorker by Lotte Hotels, where the blocks stay busy.
