Ask the property about room size, bed configuration and any facility fee, and check the total price with taxes and fees when you reserve.

The setting

The address is 59 W 35th St, on a block of Midtown South just west of Fifth Avenue, where the Empire State Building rises nearby. The 9/11 Memorial sits about 3.0 miles (4.9 km) south, and Central Park begins about 1.2 miles (2 km) north at Fifth Avenue and 59th Street. Many nearby blocks are offices and shops, busy on weekdays.

This is a working stretch of Manhattan rather than a sightseeing enclave, which is part of its appeal for a short trip. The grid puts you a few blocks from Herald Square, the Flatiron district and Union Square, with Broadway cutting diagonally to the west. Observation decks are about 0.5 miles (0.8 km) away in a straight line, Hudson Yards about 0.9 miles (1.4 km) and the Museum of Modern Art about 0.9 miles (1.5 km). Expect street noise on weekday mornings.

Location and neighborhood

Midtown South, Flatiron and Union Square hold some of the most practical ground in Manhattan for a longer stay or a tighter budget. The district runs from Union Square at 14th Street north through the Flatiron blocks and Madison Square Park to NoMad, Koreatown and the hotel streets around Penn Station. Everyday needs sit close together: subway entrances, laundromats, pharmacies, grocery stores and public libraries. Blocks are short and walkable, so a week here can be spent mostly on foot. Numbered streets run east to west and Fifth Avenue divides east from west addresses, which makes navigation simple after the first day.

For a stay of a week or more, the district settles into a rhythm that suits errands as much as sightseeing. Union Square is the anchor: a park, a market on several mornings a week, and a subway hub where several lines meet. Madison Square Park offers a second breathing space with benches, lawns and shade. Koreatown, between 31st and 33rd Streets near Broadway, packs small restaurants and food shops into a few blocks. The hotel streets near Penn Station are busiest on weekday mornings and tend to be calmer at weekends. Longer stays work well here because the essentials stay open late and the side streets are quiet at night.

Getting there and around

Distances are modest. Hampton Inn Manhattan 35th St Empire State Bldg is around 0.5 miles (0.8 km) from the nearest major rail terminal and around 0.6 miles (0.9 km) from the center of the district at Union Square. From the airports, AirTrain and rail or subway connections link JFK and Newark to Midtown in typically 45 to 75 minutes, depending on traffic and connections; LaGuardia is closest by road, with a link bus to the subway. The subway runs 24 hours. You tap a contactless card or phone at the turnstile, weekly spending is capped after a set number of rides, and the MetroCard is being phased out. Check the MTA for service changes before a late trip.

Nearby sights and food

Most headline sights are close. The High Line begins at Gansevoort Street and runs north to Hudson Yards, where the Vessel stands among the towers; Hudson River Park and Little Island continue along the waterfront to the west. Grand Central Terminal is a short walk east from the district's northern edge, and the Broadway theaters around Times Square lie to the northwest. Observation decks at the Empire State Building, Top of the Rock and One Vanderbilt are all within reach. The 9/11 Memorial is farther south. Check opening hours, timed entry and ticketing with each site before setting out.

Eating simply is straightforward here. Koreatown packs small barbecue restaurants, noodle shops and bakeries into a few blocks around 32nd Street. The streets around Union Square and the Flatiron hold diners, pizzerias, taquerias and counter-service places suited to a quick lunch. Madison Square Park and Union Square both work for takeaway eaten outdoors. Longer stays can lean on grocery stores and the open-air market at Union Square for breakfast and picnic supplies. Vegetarian and vegan kitchens appear throughout the district, and food shops near Penn Station serve commuters from early morning.
