Our take
U Hotel Fifth Avenue is a practical Midtown choice: the Empire State Building is a short walk away and Grand Central is easy to reach for trains out of the city. Rooms are comfortable, with marble bathrooms and free Wi-Fi, and there is a restaurant on site. Parking is offered, which few hotels in this part of Manhattan can claim. I would book it for location and comfort, but expect a cozy room rather than a spacious one.
- Take advantage of the short walk to the Empire State Building for early morning visits to beat the crowds.
- Consider using public transport from 34 St-Herald Sq for efficient travel around the city.
- If you're driving, factor in the cost of parking, which is a significant convenience in this area.

Why guests love itU Hotel Fifth Avenue puts families within a short walk of the Empire State Building, which saves subway rides with children in Midtown. Rooms are described as comfortable and cozy, with marble bathrooms and free Wi-Fi, and the restaurant on site helps when nobody wants to go out again. Parking is offered, which is unusual in Manhattan. A score of 8.2 from 994 reviews points to a solid stay, though cozy in New York usually means limited space.
