Park Lane

Midtown


Overlooking Central Park, the Park Lane has large rooms by NYC standards (minimum 312 sq ft) with comfy beds and classically inclined furnishings. Service is friendly and the location handy for Midtown shopping and some of Manhattan's top museums and performance venues. If you have the extra cash, opt for a Park View room, which serves up a jaw-dropping view over the city's most famous green escape.
