Park Savoy

About Park Savoy

Park Savoy suits travelers who want a simple, well-placed base in Midtown Manhattan and plan to spend most of the day outside it. The West 58th Street address keeps Central Park within a short walk and Times Square close by, so sightseeing, theater evenings and office meetings are easy to reach on foot. Couples on a city break, small families and business travelers who need a bed near the center of things fit here best. Rooms are booked through the IMPT app.

Park Savoy is a 2-star hotel, so expect a straightforward city stay rather than a full-service address. The listed facilities cover the basics: 24-hour reception, air conditioning, internet access, a restaurant and bars on site. The official star rating is modest, and the value sits in the location, which places Midtown offices, theaters and Central Park within easy reach. Travelers who treat the room as a place to sleep and shower after a long day of walking fit the setup.

Rooms and listed facilities

The listed facilities are 24-hour reception, air conditioning, internet access, a restaurant and bars. Couples get a central base for evenings in the Theater District, and families benefit from round-the-clock reception when they come back late. Business travelers can work in the room with internet access and eat on site between meetings. The 24-hour desk matters most for late arrivals, when a person at reception makes the difference. Confirm the room type and bed setup, and check the total price with taxes and fees, with the property before booking.

Park Savoy keeps things practical for a short stay, and the listed facilities are worth reading before you book. Air conditioning matters in a Manhattan summer, internet access covers maps and messages, and the restaurant and bars mean a meal or a drink without another walk. Reception is staffed 24 hours, which suits late flights and long theater evenings. Ask Park Savoy which room type fits your party, and confirm what the rate includes when you book.

The setting

West 58th Street is a Midtown side street of apartment blocks, offices and hotels, one block south of Central Park's southern edge and a short walk from the Theater District. The Museum of Modern Art is roughly 0.3 miles (0.5 km) away. The blocks north to the park and south to the theaters are short and easy on foot.

Location and neighborhood

Midtown and Times Square sit at the center of Manhattan's transport network, which matters most on the days you arrive and leave. Penn Station and the Port Authority Bus Terminal are both in the district, and Grand Central Terminal is a short walk east along 42nd Street. Trains and buses run late, and the subway runs all night, so a delayed arrival rarely strands you. If you land before check-in, the hours are best spent walking the grid or sitting in Bryant Park. Check current airport connections with the transit authority before you set out.

Late arrivals have their own rhythm here. The streets stay busy well after midnight, and the Theater District empties in waves as curtains come down, so walking back to Park Savoy rarely means an empty block. Times Square is the brightest and most crowded crossing at any hour; side streets north and east of it are quieter. Subway service changes happen on weekends and late nights, so check the transit authority's service notices the evening before an early departure. For a dawn flight, allow slack: security lines at the airports can be long in the early morning, and road traffic into Queens or New Jersey builds quickly.

Getting there and around

From Park Savoy, the three airports sit at different distances and different connections. JFK is around 14 miles (21.9 km) away, reached by AirTrain to Jamaica for the subway or the Long Island Rail Road, or to Howard Beach for the A train. Newark Liberty takes a similar time by AirTrain and NJ Transit or Amtrak into Penn Station. LaGuardia is closest by road, with the free Q70 bus linking to the subway. Grand Central Terminal is around 0.9 miles (1.5 km) from the door, and Penn Station and the Port Authority Bus Terminal are walkable. Tap a contactless card or phone to ride the subway, which runs around the clock.

Nearby sights and food

Most of the district's sights sit within a few blocks of one another. The Theater District runs north from 42nd Street around Times Square, and Bryant Park, behind the main library building, fills at lunchtime in good weather. Rockefeller Center is a short walk east, and the observation decks there, at One Vanderbilt beside Grand Central and in the Empire State Building, each show the grid from a different height; reserve a timed slot and check visibility. Fifth Avenue's flagship stores continue north to Central Park South. The Museum of Modern Art is on West 53rd Street; check opening hours and timed entry before you go.

Food in Midtown is built for people in a hurry and people killing time before a curtain. The blocks around Times Square and 42nd Street run to slice shops, diners, ramen counters and steakhouse dining rooms, most of them busy from early evening. The Garment District north of 34th Street has delis, taquerias and Korean kitchens, often cheaper and quieter than the Theater District. Ninth Avenue in the west forties holds a mix of Thai, Greek and Italian places. Book ahead for a pre-theater table, or eat late after the show; many kitchens serve past midnight.

A day from Park Savoy

A day from Park Savoy starts early if a flight is waiting. Walk to Bryant Park for coffee and a bench, then cut east through Grand Central Terminal to see the concourse before the commuter rush thickens. Work north on Fifth Avenue to Central Park South and enter the park at its southeast corner; the paths by the Pond and the lake suit a short loop. Lunch near Rockefeller Center, then an afternoon at the Museum of Modern Art or on an observation deck. Eat before a 7 or 8 pm curtain, and check the show's start time. For a late arrival, reverse the plan: the park at dusk, dinner after 9, and a quiet walk back.
