Cheap hotels in Midtown E-Murray Hill, New York
Midtown East begins at Fifth Avenue and works east toward the water, encompassing the residential (and reviving) Murray Hill along the way. More business-oriented than Midtown West, Midtown East is all about business (think law firms, investment firms, publishing houses, and advertising agencies).
Still, there are plenty of noteworthy tourist sights in Midtown East, including Grand Central Terminal, the United Nations headquarters, the Chrysler Building, and St. Patrick's Cathedral. Midtown East is also somewhat of a shopping haven. The flagship Saks Fifth Avenue store is located here, as are Takashimaya, Chanel, Burberry, Calvin Klein, Niketown … Basically, if it isn't in Midtown East, then it's a few blocks north in the Upper East Side.
Affordable hotels in Midtown East are plentiful, as many small chains and independent hotels cater to business and leisure travelers. While it may not be the most pictureque neighborhood to call home, choosing a hotel here is undeniably convenient.
