Park Avenue At Grand Central
New York City, NY 10017
Chain: Hyatt Hotels and Resorts
Grand Hyatt New York is one of the best hotels for first-time visitors on a moderate budget. Adjacent to Grand Central Terminal, the hotel is five minutes from Fifth Avenue shopping, ten minutes from Times Square and the Theater District and a subway ride from anywhere in the five boroughs. Grand Hyatt New York doesn't offer the personality of a boutique hotel but it is clean, modern and ideally located. Have a drink at the Manhattan Sky Bar, offering unobstructed views of 42nd Street or enjoy the Commodore Grill & Lounge, but skip the Grand Cafe-- you'll get a much more authentic NYC experience if you grab a coffee from one of the vendors down the street.
Does HotelsByCity recommend this hotel?
Hyatt is a reliable brand that delivers exceptional quality for a reasonable price, so it's likely your stay will be a positive one, if slightly cookie-cutter. A helpful staff and central location ensure that the hotel lobby is always busy. Read our customer reviews?
The highlight of Grand Hyatt's 1,311 medium-sized rooms is their signature bed-- it's plush, it's soft, it's large, it's everything you want after a long day of touring the city. Views are hard to come by in NY hotels, so unless you're spending the cash for a view, you'll likely be looking onto rooftops. Yet the spacious marble baths, flat-screen TVs and available wireless Internet (for a charge) will keep you from staring out the window.
Flat-screen TVs with cable channels, T-Mobile wireless Internet, dual-line phones, 24-hour room service and more are the standard amenities at Grand Hyatt New York. In other words, they take care of the essential luxuries. If trekking around the city isn't enough exercise, the penthouse-level fitness center is complimentary to all guests.
Local trains, subways and express buses from the airport all lead to Grand Central Terminal, which is adjacent to the hotel.
