New York Hilton Midtown

About New York Hilton Midtown

New York Hilton Midtown suits travelers who want a large, full-service hotel in the center of Manhattan. MoMA is a short walk away, Broadway theaters and Times Square are close, and Central Park begins a few blocks north. Business guests have a Midtown address near offices and conference space, while families get a base that covers the main sights on foot. Late arrivals land at a 24-hour front desk. A concierge is listed among the facilities, which helps on a first visit.

This is a four-star hotel by official star rating, and it works as a large city hotel for both business trips and sightseeing stays. The supplier's guest score is 4.1 out of 5 from 11,059 reviews. Rooms are booked through the IMPT app, where prices and availability appear with taxes and fees. Expect a full-service property with restaurants, bars and a fitness center on site, and a lobby that stays staffed through the night.

Rooms and listed facilities

The facilities listed by the supplier cover couples, families and business travelers. Air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, a safe and breakfast in the room suit a couple on a short trip, while family rooms, cribs and a kitchenette help with children. Business guests get a business center, a concierge and laundry service; late arrivals find a 24-hour front desk and 24-hour security. Parking and valet parking are listed too. Confirm room layout, breakfast details and any facility fee with the property before booking.

Snack bar and room service are listed for simple meals at odd hours, and a restaurant and bars cover longer evenings without leaving the building. Internet access, a barber or beauty salon and a banquet floor point to a hotel built for groups as much as for individual stays. Couples should ask about quieter floors, and families about space for a crib. Confirm the room type you want with the property when you book.

The setting

New York Hilton Midtown stands at 1335 Avenue of the Americas, also known as Sixth Avenue, in Midtown. Broadway theaters sit about 0.4 miles (0.6 km) out, and the 9/11 Memorial about 4.0 miles (6.4 km) south.

Location and neighborhood

Midtown's streets are a history lesson you can walk from New York Hilton Midtown. North of 14th Street the Commissioners' Plan of 1811 laid out numbered streets running east to west and avenues running north to south, with Fifth Avenue dividing east and west addresses. Broadway cuts diagonally across that grid, and the blocks around Times Square show the result: long views, odd corners and a theater district that grew where the avenue crossed the grid. Walking here is mostly level and easy to follow. Look at the street signs, note whether the address is east or west, and the neighborhood opens up in a straight line.

The cultural weight of the district sits within a short walk. The Museum of Modern Art is south of Central Park, the Theater District holds about 40 Broadway houses, and Rockefeller Center fills the blocks between Fifth and Sixth Avenues. Bryant Park gives the grid a breathing space, with a lawn in the middle of the district. Fifth Avenue from Rockefeller Center up to Central Park South carries the flagship stores, while the Garment District north of 34th Street keeps the working side of the neighborhood in view. Architecture, theater and shopping sit close enough to cover on foot in a single day.

Getting there and around

Midtown sits at the center of the city's transport, which matters when you arrive with luggage. Grand Central Terminal, Penn Station and the Port Authority Bus Terminal are all inside the district, and the subway runs 24 hours a day. Tap a contactless card or phone at the turnstile; the MetroCard is being phased out. Check service changes with the MTA before a late trip. Penn Station is around 0.7 miles (1.1 km) from New York Hilton Midtown, and the district center around 0.4 miles (0.7 km) away. From JFK or Newark Liberty the trip typically takes 45 to 75 minutes depending on traffic and connections.

Nearby sights and food

The main sights reward a walking loop rather than a checklist. Start at Bryant Park, walk west through the Theater District to Times Square, then north on Broadway to the edge of Central Park. The Museum of Modern Art and Rockefeller Center are a short detour east. Grand Central Terminal is worth a look for its main concourse, and the observation decks at Rockefeller Center and further south give a view over the grid. Hudson Yards and the Vessel are west of the district; the Intrepid Museum sits at the Hudson River. Check opening days and tickets with each venue.

Eating in Midtown follows the rhythm of the blocks. Near the Theater District, tables fill early before curtains, with Italian, steakhouse, Japanese and Thai kitchens among the choices. The Garment District and the streets around Penn Station lean toward delis, slice shops, noodles and falafel for a quick lunch. Bryant Park and Rockefeller Center have cafes and food halls for a sit-down break, and Fifth Avenue adds bakeries and department-store dining rooms. Reservations help at popular places on show nights. Check opening hours directly; many kitchens close between lunch and dinner.

A day from New York Hilton Midtown

A day from New York Hilton Midtown can start with a walk east to Bryant Park for a coffee and a look at the lawn, then north along Fifth Avenue to the edge of Central Park. Turn west and cross to the Museum of Modern Art for a couple of hours. Lunch near Rockefeller Center, then walk the Theater District and Times Square in the afternoon light. Rest before an evening curtain; shows typically start at 7 or 8 pm, so check the time with the theater. End with a walk back through the lit blocks, which is a free show in the district.
