The Lex Nyc

About The Lex Nyc

The Lex Nyc suits travelers who want a simple, well-placed base in Manhattan and a short walk to the office or the subway. The address on Lexington Avenue puts Gramercy and Midtown within reach on foot, and the listed 24-hour front desk helps if you arrive late. Couples get an easy starting point for evenings out; business travelers save time on the commute north and south. Families who prefer a central position and quick access to transit will find the location practical for days spent across the island.

The Lex Nyc is a 3-star hotel with a straightforward, practical character. The supplier lists lifts, air conditioning, carpeted rooms and free wifi, so expectations stay modest and functional. The atmosphere suits travelers who value position over extras. The booking supplier gives the hotel a guest score of 4.2 out of 5 from 476 reviews, which sits in the mid range for Manhattan. Treat that score as one signal among several, read individual reviews, and confirm the room type that matches the size of your party.

Rooms and listed facilities

The supplier's listed facilities cover the basics a city stay depends on. Couples can plan a quiet evening with room service and a drink at the bar, then breakfast before a day out. Business travelers get free wifi, internet access and a concierge for practical questions. Families benefit from air conditioning, lifts and laundry service, which matters on longer trips. The 24-hour front desk and luggage storage help anyone arriving late or leaving after checkout. Confirm breakfast service times, room service hours and pet conditions with the property before you book.

Accessibility matters here: the supplier lists wheelchair access and lifts, which helps guests with mobility needs reach their rooms with less fuss. A safe in the room keeps documents and devices secure. The terrace gives couples and solo travelers a place to sit between outings. Rooms are carpeted and air conditioned, a comfort in hot summers and cold winters. Ask the property about bed configurations, quiet floors and anything your group needs before arrival, then check the total price with taxes and fees in the IMPT app.

The setting

The Lex Nyc sits at 67 Lexington Avenue, in Gramercy, on the east side of Midtown Manhattan. The position is walkable to a lot: Grand Central Terminal is about 0.9 miles (1.5 km) in a straight line, Penn Station about 0.9 miles (1.4 km), and Times Square about 1.2 miles (2 km). Central Park, at Fifth Avenue and 59th Street, is about 1.8 miles (2.9 km) away, and observation decks are around 0.9 miles (1.5 km). The streets around the address mix apartment buildings with offices, so weekdays feel busier than weekends.

Location and neighborhood

Gramercy and Stuyvesant Town suit a longer stay better than most of Midtown. The blocks are residential, the streets are quiet at night, and everyday errands are easy: groceries, laundromats and a post office sit close to each other. Budget travelers based at The Lex Nyc get a neighborhood that empties of office workers after six, so evenings are calm and the sidewalks stay walkable. The trade is simple. You are close to the subway and a short walk from the East River, but nothing here is built for crowds.

Gramercy Park is a private square, locked and reserved for key holders, so plan on admiring it through the railings. The surrounding blocks are the real draw: Irving Place running south toward Union Square, brownstones along the side streets, church spires, and Stuyvesant Square, a public park open to anyone. Longer stays at The Lex Nyc settle in quickly here. A grocery run, a walk after dinner and a bench in the square fill an unhurried morning or evening without a trip across town. The East River paths are a short walk east.

Getting there and around

Getting around is straightforward. Grand Central Terminal, the nearest major rail hub, is around 0.9 miles (1.5 km) from the area center, and Penn Station is a short ride west. The subway runs around the clock; pay by tapping a contactless card or phone at the turnstile and check the weekly tap cap with the MTA. Midtown's core, around 1.2 miles (2 km) away, holds the observation decks and the Theater District. Airports sit around 13 miles (20.6 km) off by road: JFK and Newark are typically 45 to 75 minutes from Midtown depending on traffic and connections, and LaGuardia is closest by road, with a free bus link to the subway. Check service changes before a long stay.

Nearby sights and food

Most of the famous sights are within walking distance or a short subway ride. Grand Central Terminal is worth a look even without a train to catch: the concourse, the clock and the echo. Broadway's theaters cluster around Times Square, with evening curtains typically at 7 or 8 pm; check the show. The High Line runs from Gansevoort Street to West 34th Street at Hudson Yards, free to enter, and Little Island and Hudson River Park continue the waterfront walk south. The Vessel stands at Hudson Yards. Observation decks, including the Empire State Building and Top of the Rock, sit farther west and north; book ahead in busy weeks.

Eating well on a modest budget is easy here. The streets are full of small places rather than destination dining: pizzerias selling by the slice, bagel shops in the morning, diners that serve breakfast all day, ramen counters, taquerias and Indian kitchens. The avenues toward Murray Hill carry more of the same, and the East Village to the south adds inexpensive noodle shops, falafel counters and bakeries. Groceries, delis and produce stands make a longer stay simple, and lunch in Stuyvesant Square or on a bench along the East River is a good use of an afternoon.

A day from The Lex Nyc

A day from The Lex Nyc can stay close and still feel full. Start with a walk north on Irving Place, then east to Stuyvesant Square for a bench and a coffee taken from a nearby counter. Cross to the East River paths and follow the water south, or head west to Grand Central Terminal to see the concourse before the commuters thicken. In the afternoon, take the High Line from Gansevoort Street to Hudson Yards, free to enter, then Little Island and Hudson River Park. In the evening, a Broadway show with a curtain at 7 or 8, checked in advance, or a simple dinner near home.
