Where to Stay in Midtown Manhattan: The Best Hotels Near Times Square, Broadway, and Rockefeller Center

Midtown Manhattan lives up to its name. It’s the city’s busiest, brightest hub, packed with landmarks like Times Square, the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, Broadway, and MoMA. Staying between 34th and 59th streets puts you steps from all the action, with the bonus of a rooftop escape when the crowds get too loud.

But Midtown isn’t all corporate blandness. Plenty of hotels here break the mold—whether you want Central Park views from your pillow or afternoon tea at a legendary grande dame. Another perk: you’re roughly equidistant from downtown’s jazz clubs and the Upper East Side’s Gilded Age charm.

From luxury high-rises to quirky boutiques, here are the best Midtown hotels for every kind of traveler.
