Instructions

    Find a Place to Stay

  1. Being a major tourist attraction, New York City has numerous hotels in variety of price ranges and in all parts of the city. Major chains such as Marriott, Sheraton and Hilton all have at least one hotel in a convenient location. If money is no object, you might want to stay at The Plaza Hotel or the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. Both are city landmarks for their architecture and famous guests; whenever you see a New York Hotel in a movie, it's probably one of those two. If your budget is tight, though, you might want to check out some youth hostels.

    If this is your first trip to the city and you are incredibly wealthy, we recommend that you choose a hotel in midtown, since that will be the most centrally located. If you happen to be a student or poor (the two usually go hand in hand), you should definitely consider a hotel outside of midtown. The upper east side and the west side have plenty of more affordable (though still expensive) hotels.

    Be prepared to spend a lot. Everything in New York is expensive (including the food, the souvenirs and the entertainment), so you might as well enjoy it and stay in a comfortable place.
