Boasting 935 rooms three blocks south of Central Park, the Park Central New York is very popular with tourists and business folks alike—and for good reason: it's big, it's super convenient, and, most importantly, it's reliable and priced right.
Built in 1928, the hotel is blessed with art deco features throughout the lobby and the rooms. In addition, The Park Central is a purpose-built hotel. So, unlike many other New York properties, which were converted from apartment or office buildings, it offers spacious rooms and extra thick walls.
Rooms are fresh and attractive, decorated in a rich palette of gold and blue. Modern art decorates the walls. Furniture is contemporary, and most rooms have large desks.
More than half the rooms look onto the surrounding streets. Some quieter rooms face the hotel's interior. Those on the higher floors boast extraordinary views of midtown Manhattan. An upgrade to rooms on the highest floors will cost an additional $30. These upper Concierge Rooms include complimentary breakfast and access to the Concierge Lobby, with newspapers, high-speed Internet, and an outdoor terrace.
In the 75 years since it opened, the Park Central has had its share of famous and infamous moments. It was home sweet home for Jackie Gleason during the taping of "The Honeymooners," as well as the scene of a few gangster clashes back in the day. One mobster was famously "rubbed out" in the hotel's barbershop, which in turn has been "rubbed out" and replaced by an attractive restaurant.
Located at Seventh Avenue and 56th Street, the hotel is right on the pulse of Midtown, minutes to Times Square, Rockefeller Center, Fifth Avenue, and almost every subway line.
