Which hotel near Penn Station has the best guest rating?

INNSiDE by Meliá New York NOMAD has the highest score in this list at 8.6, followed by Hilton Garden Inn New York/West 35th Street at 8.4. Both have an on-site restaurant and bar, and both are within walking distance of Herald Square.

Are there hotels near Penn Station with a rooftop bar as well as dining?

Yes. DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel New York Times Square West has terrace dining and a rooftop bar with city views, Moxy NYC Times Square has a rooftop bar and a French cafe, and Hilton New York Fashion District has a rooftop cocktail lounge.

Is it worth staying near Penn Station rather than Times Square?

For travelers arriving or leaving by Amtrak, LIRR or NJ Transit, I think it is. You save time with luggage, and Times Square remains a short walk north. Several hotels here, such as Holiday Inn New York City - Times Square, sit between both.

Do these hotels suit families who want to eat on site?

Several are described as family friendly, including The New Yorker Hotel, Holiday Inn New York City - Times Square by IHG and Hilton Garden Inn New York/West 35th Street. Each has a restaurant and a bar, which helps after a long train journey with children.

Where can I eat near Penn Station if my hotel restaurant is closed?

Koreatown on West 32nd Street is two blocks from the station and stays lively late. The Moynihan Train Hall also has a food hall, and the streets around Herald Square offer many casual options within a few minutes on foot.

Hotels with a Restaurant Near Pennsylvania Station

Penn Station sits under Madison Square Garden in Midtown Manhattan, with the Moynihan Train Hall across Eighth Avenue and Herald Square two blocks east. Trains from Amtrak, the Long Island Rail Road and NJ Transit arrive here at every hour, which is why a hotel restaurant matters more than usual. The selection below covers properties with their own dining room, from The New Yorker Hotel, a minute's walk from the station with three restaurants, to Hilton Garden Inn New York/West 35th Street near Herald Square. I looked at what each kitchen adds to a short stay between two trains.

The blocks around Penn Station are Manhattan at its most practical: commuters from New Jersey and Long Island, crowds heading into Madison Square Garden, shoppers at Herald Square and the Korean restaurants of West 32nd Street. Moynihan Train Hall, opened in 2021 in the former post office building, brought light and food halls to the west side of the station. Hudson Yards and the High Line are a short walk further west.

Eating well between two Penn Station trains

Around Penn Station, a train can drop you on Seventh Avenue late at night or pull out at dawn, and the surrounding blocks of Midtown, Koreatown and the Garment District change pace quickly after dark. A hotel with its own restaurant removes one decision from a tight schedule: breakfast before an early Amtrak departure, a proper dinner after a delayed NJ Transit arrival, all without crossing Eighth Avenue with luggage.

The New Yorker Hotel is the obvious starting point. This 1920s tower stands a minute's walk from the station, across Eighth Avenue from the Moynihan Train Hall, and it runs three restaurants plus a bar under one roof. With more than twelve thousand guest reviews and a score of 7.8, it is the most reviewed hotel in this list. I recommend it for travelers who want choice without leaving the building, especially on arrival evenings when the streets around Madison Square Garden fill up before a game or a concert. It also accepts pets and has a fitness center, which helps on a longer stay.

For a more design-minded table, Ace Hotel New York pairs a chic restaurant with a lively lobby lounge and an art gallery, also accepts pets, and guests rate it 8.2 across nearly four thousand reviews. It sits north of Herald Square, close to the NoMad neighborhood, so it works well if your plans lean toward Broadway and the Flatiron District rather than the station itself. INNSiDE by Meliá New York NOMAD, rated 8.6, is the highest scored option in the group, with a restaurant, a bar and terrace rooms in the same part of town, and a 24/7 fitness center.

West of Penn Station, toward Times Square and the Port Authority Bus Terminal, several larger hotels keep a restaurant and a bar on site. Holiday Inn New York City - Times Square by IHG, rated 8.2, is a modern high-rise with both, and DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel New York Times Square West adds terrace dining and a rooftop bar with city views. Moxy NYC Times Square has a French cafe and a rooftop bar instead of a classic dining room. My advice is to pick these if Times Square or the Hudson Yards side of Midtown is on your list.

Closer to the station on its south and east sides, smaller properties still keep a kitchen. TRYP by Wyndham New York City Times Square South, near Pennsylvania Station, has an airy lobby bistro and a 24-hour fitness center, while Hilton Garden Inn New York/West 35th Street, rated 8.4, offers a restaurant and a stylish lobby bar a short walk from Herald Square and Macy's. Hilton New York Fashion District adds a bar and grill and a rooftop cocktail lounge in the Garment District. I would choose one of these for a quieter base with dinner on site.

A traveler's perspective
If I had a single night before an early Amtrak train, I would book The New Yorker Hotel: it is a minute on foot from Penn Station, faces the Moynihan Train Hall across Eighth Avenue, and its three restaurants cover breakfast and dinner without a taxi. For a longer stay with better scores, I would choose Hilton Garden Inn New York/West 35th Street, near Herald Square, rated 8.4 by guests.
