Choosing a hotel to stay when visiting New York can be overwhelming, least of all because Manhattan is quite vast. There is sharp contrast between uptown and downtown. So, we recommend to divide your nights; a few nights uptown, and a few nights downtown can give you the best of both worlds. Alternatively, stay in Midtown to get a perfectly central location.
