The Prince Kitano New York

About The Prince Kitano New York

The Prince Kitano New York suits travelers who want a calm Midtown base within walking distance of the places that fill a Manhattan day. Grand Central Terminal is about 0.2 miles (0.4 km) away in a straight line, so commuters, theatergoers and weekend visitors can move quickly. Couples get a central address for evening plans, and families have room to spread out with family rooms listed by the supplier. Business travelers are close to the Midtown office district and the business center. Late arrivals can rely on the 24 hour front desk.

Expect a 4-star hotel with a formal Park Avenue address and a straightforward, comfortable brief: a bed in Midtown, a restaurant and a bar downstairs, and staff who handle the practical side of a city stay. That score reflects other guests' experience rather than a promise of any particular room. The building sits in Midtown Manhattan, close to Times Square and Grand Central Terminal, which makes it a practical choice for a short first visit or a working trip.

Rooms and listed facilities

Rooms come with air conditioning, carpeted floors and a minibar, and Wi-Fi and internet access are listed by the supplier, so a laptop and a phone both work on arrival. Ask the property about room size, bed type and whether a crib or an extra bed fits your plan; those details vary by room. Families can request a family room, listed by the supplier. Business travelers have a business center and breakfast in room. Late arrivals should confirm the 24 hour front desk before a midnight landing and check the total price with taxes and fees.

The setting

The address is 66 Park Ave, on a wide avenue on the east side of Midtown Manhattan, in a district of office towers, hotels and steady traffic. Broadway and the Theater District are about 0.7 miles (1.1 km) away, the Museum of Modern Art about 0.8 miles (1.3 km). The 9/11 Memorial is about 3.2 miles (5.1 km) to the south.

Location and neighborhood

Midtown is where Manhattan does its business. Office towers fill the blocks between 34th and 59th Streets, and the street grid keeps addresses easy to follow: numbered streets run east to west, avenues north to south, and Fifth Avenue divides East from West. Times Square sits where Broadway crosses the grid, and the Theater District around it holds about 40 Broadway houses. Bryant Park, Rockefeller Center and the stretch of Fifth Avenue up to Central Park South all fall inside the same district, so most meetings sit within a short walk or a single subway ride.

A working day here starts early. Coffee counters and delis open before eight, the sidewalks fill with commuters, and the pace settles once offices do. Lunch runs on a tight clock, so tables turn fast. In the evening the Theater District takes over, and curtains are typically at 7 or 8 pm, so check the show before planning dinner. West of Eighth Avenue, the Garment District blocks north of 34th Street are quieter and more industrial in feel. Subway service changes are common at weekends; check the transit authority before relying on a route.

Getting there and around

The Prince Kitano New York sits inside the grid, so most trips start on foot. Penn Station on 34th Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues is around 0.2 miles (0.4 km) away; Grand Central Terminal at 42nd and Park sits a few blocks east. The airports lie outside Manhattan: the road distance to JFK or Newark Liberty is around 13 miles (20.8 km), and the trip typically takes 45 to 75 minutes depending on traffic and connections. LaGuardia is closest by road, with a free connecting bus to the subway. Tap a contactless card or phone to ride; trains run 24 hours. Vehicles entering below 60th Street pay a congestion toll.

Nearby sights and food

The district's sights sit close together. Times Square and the Theater District anchor the center, with about 40 Broadway houses around them. Bryant Park, behind the main library building, gives a green pause at 42nd Street. Rockefeller Center runs west from Fifth Avenue, and Top of the Rock puts an observation deck on floors 67 to 70. The Museum of Modern Art is a few blocks north. Grand Central Terminal at 42nd and Park rewards a look at the concourse. Central Park starts at 59th Street, and the Empire State Building deck and SUMMIT One Vanderbilt are both walkable. The Intrepid Museum and Hudson Yards sit farther west.

Food in Midtown is built for the working day. Delis and counter-service spots handle breakfast and a fast lunch, and the side streets west of Ninth Avenue hold more sit-down places than the main avenues suggest. Italian, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Mexican and steakhouse menus are all easy to find, along with Irish pubs and wine bars for a later table. The Theater District fills early before curtains, so the quieter blocks west of Eighth Avenue and around Bryant Park are easier at six. Reserve ahead on show nights.

A day from The Prince Kitano New York

A day from The Prince Kitano New York. Start with an early walk east to Bryant Park before the office crowd arrives, then follow Fifth Avenue north past Rockefeller Center toward Central Park South. Spend the middle of the day indoors: the Museum of Modern Art holds enough for two or three hours. Return south through the Garment District for an afternoon pause, and be near Times Square by early evening, when curtains are typically at 7 or 8 pm; check the show. If theater is not the plan, ride to an observation deck for sunset. The Prince Kitano New York keeps the loop simple, with most of it within walking distance or a short subway ride.
