The setting

The hotel stands at 151 West 54th Street in Midtown Manhattan, on a cross street between the Theater District and the Central Park edge. Times Square is about 0.4 miles (0.7 km) away in a straight line, and Central Park at Fifth Avenue and 59th Street is about the same. The Museum of Modern Art is about 0.2 miles (0.3 km), Grand Central Terminal about 0.7 miles (1.2 km) and Penn Station about 1.1 miles (1.8 km). JFK sits about 14 miles (21.8 km) away in a straight line, LaGuardia about 5.7 miles (9.1 km) and Newark Liberty about 11 miles (18.3 km).

Location and neighborhood

Traveling with children, the street grid works in your favor. Numbered streets run east to west and avenues run north to south, so a wrong turn costs a block rather than an afternoon. Fifth Avenue divides East from West, and Broadway cuts across on the diagonal. The Luxury Collection Hotel Manhattan Midtown sits inside the Midtown and Times Square area, which runs from the Garment District blocks north of 34th Street down through the Theater District, Bryant Park and Rockefeller Center to Central Park South. Sidewalks are wide but crowded when the theaters empty. A stroller moves more easily before the evening rush.

Families use the area in two modes: daytime errands and evening spectacle. Fifth Avenue between Rockefeller Center and Central Park South holds the flagship stores, and those blocks fill quickly on weekends. Quieter ground exists. The Garment District north of 34th Street is calmer, and Bryant Park gives children room to move and a lawn to cross. Treat Times Square as a crossing rather than a destination at midday; the light show reads better after dark from a little farther back. Mornings are the calmest window for a walk east to west, and the grid keeps the route simple.

Getting there and around

Arriving is straightforward. 14 miles (21.8 km) is roughly the distance to the nearest airport, and the ride in from JFK or Newark typically takes 45 to 75 minutes depending on traffic and connections, so check the current options before setting out. 0.7 miles (1.2 km) covers the run to Grand Central Terminal and Penn Station, both connected to the subway. Penn Station occupies 34th Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues. 0.4 miles (0.7 km) places you at the middle of the district. The subway runs 24 hours; tap a contactless card or phone at the turnstile. Check service changes with the MTA on the day.

Nearby sights and food

The sights cluster tightly. The Museum of Modern Art stands on West 53rd Street, and Broadway's theaters, about 40 houses, fill the blocks around Times Square. Grand Central Terminal is worth a stop for the concourse ceiling alone. Hudson Yards, on the West Side, holds the Vessel and the Edge observation deck. Several decks lift families above the streets: Top of the Rock at Rockefeller Center, the Empire State Building, SUMMIT One Vanderbilt beside Grand Central, and One World Observatory downtown. The American Museum of Natural History sits on Central Park West at 79th Street, an easy run north. Timed entries cut the waiting.

Food in Midtown is built for a crowd. Expect diners, pizza counters, delis, ramen shops, taquerias and bakeries along Ninth and Tenth Avenues in the Garment District, where tables turn fast. The Theater District leans toward grills and Italian places that fill before curtain. Near Bryant Park, sandwich shops and coffee bars suit a quick lunch, and the food halls around Rockefeller Center give children several cuisines under one roof, which helps when tastes differ. Children's menus are common. Reservations help at 7 pm. Ask about allergies before ordering.

A day from The Luxury Collection Hotel Manhattan Midtown

A day from The Luxury Collection Hotel Manhattan Midtown: start early, before the crowds gather. A walk north along Fifth Avenue reaches Central Park South, where the park opens its 843 acres of paths, lawns and playgrounds. Carry water. Come back down through Rockefeller Center and cross to Bryant Park for a sit and a run around the lawn. Lunch in the Garment District, then an afternoon at the Museum of Modern Art, where the upper floors move fastest with children. Return to The Luxury Collection Hotel Manhattan Midtown to rest before an early dinner. Evening curtains run at 7 or 8 pm; check the show. Finish with the lights of Times Square from a little farther back, then walk to The Luxury Collection Hotel Manhattan Midtown.
