Courtyard by Marriott New York Manhattan Upper East Side

About Courtyard by Marriott New York Manhattan Upper East Side

Yorkville is a quiet, residential stretch of the Upper East Side, and this hotel sits on East 92nd Street within it. The address suits travelers who want a calmer base than Midtown, with Central Park about 1 mile (1.6 km) away in a straight line and Times Square about 2.5 miles (4.1 km). Couples, families and business travelers who plan to spend their days out in the city and return to a low-key block in the evening fit here well. Subway stations on the avenues to the west connect you downtown.

Courtyard by Marriott New York Manhattan Upper East Side is a 3-star hotel, graded by its official star classification, with a supplier guest score of 3.9 out of 5 from 1430 reviews. Expect a straightforward, functional city hotel rather than a resort: rooms, breakfast and a fitness center, with parking and valet parking listed among the services. It works as a practical base for a few nights of sightseeing, a family trip or a work stay on the Upper East Side.

Rooms and listed facilities

The listed facilities cover the basics for most trips. A 24 hour front desk and 24 hour security help if you arrive late, and luggage storage is useful before check-in or after check-out. Couples can ask about room type and quieter floors; families can ask about family rooms and cots, both listed. Business travelers have a business center and internet access. Breakfast, room service and a fitness center appear in the supplier list. Confirm breakfast arrangements, parking terms and any facility fee with the property when you book.

Rooms are laid out for short city stays, so ask the property which configuration fits your party rather than assuming. The spa and fitness center are listed for guests who want to keep a routine going, and air conditioning and free wifi cover the practical side. Couples may prefer a higher floor away from the street; families should confirm cot and family room details directly.

The setting

The hotel stands at 410 East 92nd Street in Yorkville, on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. This part of the island is largely residential: apartment blocks, a mix of low and mid-rise buildings, and local traffic rather than big sights on the doorstep. Central Park is about 1 mile (1.6 km) away in a straight line, Times Square about 2.5 miles (4.1 km), Grand Central Terminal about 2.5 miles (4 km) and the 9/11 Memorial about 5.9 miles (9.5 km). LaGuardia Airport is about 3.8 miles (6.1 km) in a straight line, JFK about 13 miles (21 km) and Newark Liberty about 13 miles (21.7 km).

Fifth Avenue and Museum Mile lie to the south and west of the address, and the observation decks are about 2.5 miles (4 km) away in a straight line. Closer in, Central Park at about 1 mile (1.6 km) gives you 843 acres of open ground from early morning onward. The blocks around East 92nd Street are quietest in the evening, which suits guests who want to sleep after a long day downtown. Check current subway service with the MTA before planning a route.

Location and neighborhood

Yorkville is the quiet, residential edge of the Upper East Side, the blocks east of Lexington Avenue where the grid runs out at Carl Schurz Park and the East River. Third Avenue carries the shops and the crosstown buses; the numbered streets between it and the water are mostly walk-ups, schools and small apartment buildings. Mornings move at a neighborhood pace: dog walkers in the park, deliveries on the avenue, coffee taken standing up. Courtyard by Marriott New York Manhattan Upper East Side sits in this calm pocket, with Central Park and the museums a straight walk west along the cross streets.

First-time visitors use Yorkville as a base for the sights. The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Central Park are a short walk west, and the American Museum of Natural History is a straight run across the park at 79th Street. The 86th Street subway stations put the rest of the island within easy reach: MoMA and the Theater District to the south, and the observation decks at Rockefeller Center, Hudson Yards and the Financial District. Coming back in the evening, the blocks around Courtyard by Marriott New York Manhattan Upper East Side are quiet, with the East River promenade beyond Carl Schurz Park at the end of the street.

Getting there and around

Yorkville lies east of Lexington Avenue, and the nearest subway stations stand on 77th, 86th and 96th Streets, with lines running along Lexington and the cross streets (check the MTA for current service). Grand Central Terminal is around 2.5 miles (4 km) away, useful for trains out of the city. The airports are further: plan for around 13 miles (21 km), with journey times that swing widely with traffic and connections. Midtown's center is around 2.5 miles (4.1 km). Fares are paid by tapping a contactless card or phone at the turnstiles, and the subway runs around the clock. Crosstown buses cover the numbered streets.

Nearby sights and food

The Metropolitan Museum of Art anchors Museum Mile on Fifth Avenue at 82nd Street, an easy walk west from Yorkville, with Central Park filling the blocks beside it. Carl Schurz Park, at the eastern end of 86th Street, is the local waterfront green, running along the East River and usually calmer than the big park. The American Museum of Natural History sits across the park on Central Park West. Further south, MoMA and the Theater District around Times Square fill an evening, and the observation decks draw their own crowds around sunset.

Eating in Yorkville leans local. Second Avenue and the side streets hold a spread of everyday places: pizzerias by the slice, diners doing breakfast, Japanese and Thai kitchens, and bakeries for a morning pastry. The Upper East Side also has a steady run of Italian trattorias, steakhouses and old-fashioned delis, plus cafes for a sit-down coffee. Reservations help on weekend evenings near the museums. For more choice, walk west to Lexington or Third Avenue, or ride the subway south to the East Village and Chinatown.

A day from Courtyard by Marriott New York Manhattan Upper East Side

A day from Courtyard by Marriott New York Manhattan Upper East Side: start early with coffee and a pastry from a bakery on Second or Third Avenue, then walk west to the Metropolitan Museum of Art for opening time, since the galleries fill by late morning. Break for lunch on the Upper East Side, then cross Central Park to the American Museum of Natural History, or stay east and follow the East River promenade from Carl Schurz Park. Return to Courtyard by Marriott New York Manhattan Upper East Side to change before the evening. Book a Broadway show or an observation deck slot at sunset, allowing time for the subway; evening curtains are usually 7 or 8 pm, so check the show. End with a late meal near the Theater District or back on the Upper East Side.
