Park Terrace Hotel

About Park Terrace Hotel

Park Terrace Hotel suits travelers who want Midtown addresses within walking distance. The Theater District, Times Square and Grand Central Terminal are all close, so an evening out or a morning train takes minutes to reach. Business guests gain a central base for meetings on both sides of Fifth Avenue. Couples can treat the address as a starting point for longer walks north to Central Park or south toward the High Line. Families traveling together have room to spread out, and the 24 hour front desk helps with late arrivals and early departures.

Park Terrace Hotel is a four-star hotel in Midtown Manhattan built around a straightforward city stay: a central address, a fitness center and free Wi-Fi for working mornings. The booking supplier gives it a guest score of 4.5 out of 5 from 675 reviews, which places it among the well-rated addresses in the district. Treat that score as a starting point and read recent comments for detail before booking. Rooms, rates and availability appear in the IMPT app.

The setting

Park Terrace Hotel stands at 18 West 40th St, a side street in Midtown Manhattan between Fifth Avenue and Sixth Avenue, in the block south of Bryant Park. Central Park, at Fifth Avenue and 59th Street, is about 0.9 miles (1.5 km) north. The Theater District is a short walk, and the Museum of Modern Art is about 0.7 miles (1.1 km) away.

Location and neighborhood

Midtown is the commercial center of Manhattan, and Times Square marks its busiest crossing, where Broadway cuts diagonally through the numbered street grid. The Theater District wraps around those blocks, with about 40 Broadway houses and evening curtains usually at 7 or 8 pm, so check the show you plan to see. Streets stay active late into the night, and the crowds around the square are largest after dark. Park Terrace Hotel sits inside this grid, within easy reach of the cross streets and subway entrances that tie the neighborhood to the rest of the island.

Fifth Avenue runs north to Central Park South, and the blocks below it hold the avenue's largest stores. East of the square, Bryant Park offers a green pause between the office towers. Rockefeller Center fills the ground between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, with its plaza and a seasonal ice rink in winter. North of 34th Street, the Garment District keeps a working trade in fabric and trim. Street numbers are easy to read once you know the rule: numbered streets run east to west, avenues run north to south, and Fifth Avenue divides East from West.

Getting there and around

The center of the neighborhood lies around 0.4 miles (0.6 km) from Park Terrace Hotel, so the Theater District, Bryant Park and Fifth Avenue are within walking range. The airports lie around 13 miles (21.2 km) away, and JFK and Newark Liberty are typically 45-75 minutes from Midtown depending on traffic and connections. Grand Central Terminal and Penn Station are around 0.3 miles (0.5 km) from the door. The subway runs 24 hours a day; fares are paid by tapping a contactless card or phone, and the MetroCard is being phased out. Check the OMNY weekly cap and any service changes with the MTA before a long day out.

Nearby sights and food

The Museum of Modern Art holds modern and contemporary collections a few blocks from the square, and Museum Mile starts at 82nd Street with The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The American Museum of Natural History faces Central Park on the west side. Observation decks give the widest views: One World Observatory downtown, SUMMIT One Vanderbilt beside Grand Central, Top of the Rock at Rockefeller Center, the Empire State Building and Edge at Hudson Yards. Hudson Yards and the Vessel anchor the far west side, and the Intrepid Museum, on an aircraft carrier at a Hudson pier, covers aviation and space.

Food in Midtown is built for a district that works late. Delis and slice counters turn out sandwiches and pizza at lunch, and food halls gather small kitchens under one roof. Italian, Japanese, Thai, Indian and Korean menus are widespread, with Chinese kitchens well represented a few blocks south. Steakhouses and seafood rooms cluster near the Theater District, and many fill early with pre-show diners, so a table at 6 pm can be easier to find than one at 8. Expect lines at popular counters near Bryant Park at midday; a block east is usually calmer.

A day from Park Terrace Hotel

A day from Park Terrace Hotel. Begin early in Bryant Park, when the paths are quiet and the lawns are open. Walk north up Fifth Avenue to Central Park South and enter the park at the southeast corner for a loop of the lower paths. Eat lunch near the park, then choose an afternoon: the Museum of Modern Art in Midtown, or a ride north to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Return and eat early, leaving time to walk to the theater. Evening curtains are typically at 7 or 8 pm, so check the show and the running time. End with the lights over Times Square from the pedestrian plazas.
