Trump International Hotel & Tower New York

About Trump International Hotel & Tower New York

Trump International Hotel & Tower New York suits travelers who want a five-star base on the Upper West Side with Central Park across the street. Couples on a long weekend, families booking space for children, and business travelers who need Midtown within reach all fit here. The address at 1 Central Park W puts the park, Lincoln Square and the Upper West Side's quieter residential streets on the doorstep, while Times Square and Grand Central Terminal sit a short ride or a steady walk south.

The property holds a five-star official rating, and the booking supplier's guest score stands at 3.6 out of 5 from 1128 reviews. That score is the supplier's figure rather than a rating given here, so read recent guest comments for the detail behind it. Expect a full-service tower with a front desk staffed around the clock, a concierge and room service, which suits travelers who want help on hand rather than a self-service stay.

The setting

Trump International Hotel & Tower New York stands at 1 Central Park W, where the Upper West Side meets the park, in the Lincoln Square neighborhood. Central Park's southern edge at Fifth Avenue and 59th Street is about 0.6 miles (0.9 km) away in a straight line, and observation decks about 1.1 miles (1.8 km). Times Square is about 0.8 miles (1.3 km), Grand Central Terminal about 1.1 miles (1.8 km), Penn Station about 1.4 miles (2.3 km) and the 9/11 Memorial about 4.3 miles (6.9 km). Broadway runs diagonally past the block.

Location and neighborhood

Lincoln Square covers the blocks around Columbus Circle and the streets just south of the Upper West Side, with Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts at its center. For a work trip the position is practical: Midtown offices lie a short ride or a walk south, and the numbered streets keep directions simple. Fifth Avenue divides east from west street numbers, so an address tells you which side of the grid you are on. Broadway cuts diagonally through, which makes a cross-town walk less tidy than it looks on a map.

Mornings here start quietly for a central district. Residents walk dogs in the small squares, deliveries arrive, and the pace lifts as offices open. The area holds a music conservatory and cultural institutions, so street life mixes students, musicians and people heading to meetings. Evenings belong to performances at Lincoln Center, and the surrounding blocks fill on performance nights before curtains. Columbus Circle works as a landmark to meet under and as a waypoint between the park and Midtown. Trump International Hotel & Tower New York sits within this grid.

Getting there and around

Transit is the sensible default. The subway runs 24 hours a day; tap a contactless card or phone, and check current service changes with the MTA before a late meeting. From Trump International Hotel & Tower New York, 1.1 miles (1.8 km) brings you to the main rail stations, and 14 miles (22.2 km) is the rough road distance to the airports, where journeys from Midtown typically take 45 to 75 minutes depending on traffic and connections. Allow extra time at rush hour and confirm transfers with the operator. Buses and walking fill the gaps, and 0.8 miles (1.3 km) puts you at the area center for orientation.

Nearby sights and food

Central Park begins at the top of the district, at 59th Street, and its southern paths suit a walk before or after meetings. The American Museum of Natural History sits on Central Park West at 79th Street, a straight line up from the area. MoMA is south of Columbus Circle in Midtown, and the Theater District around Times Square lies a little further south, with around 40 Broadway houses and evening curtains typically at 7 or 8 pm; check the show. The Metropolitan Museum of Art is on Fifth Avenue at 82nd Street, along Museum Mile. The Intrepid Museum, on the Hudson, is within easy reach.

Eating near Lincoln Square leans Italian, Japanese and American, with plenty of casual rooms that suit a table for one. Bakeries open early for coffee and pastry, delis and sandwich counters handle a quick lunch, and noodle bars and sushi counters fill at midday. The side streets hold small Italian dining rooms and neighborhood places with counter seats, while the blocks around Columbus Circle have larger restaurants that work for a group dinner. For a working dinner, reserve ahead: popular rooms book out. Check opening days directly with each place.

A day from Trump International Hotel & Tower New York

A day from Trump International Hotel & Tower New York can start early with coffee nearby and a walk along the southern edge of Central Park, when the paths are quietest. Meetings in Midtown are a short subway ride or a walk down Broadway. Break for lunch at a counter or deli in the neighborhood. In the afternoon, choose one museum: the American Museum of Natural History for a short visit, or MoMA if the schedule allows a longer block. Return to Trump International Hotel & Tower New York to change, then eat dinner near Columbus Circle. An evening curtain in the Theater District ends the day; check times with the show and allow time to reach the theater.
