There are few neighborhoods in New York better for sightseeing than Midtown, Manhattan. In the heart of the concrete jungle and serving as the city's CBD, you’re within walking distance of the Empire State Building, Grand Central Station, Broadway, big-time shopping and Michelin-starred restaurants. It’s a great spot from which to base a weekend full of NYC’s most iconic sights.
What’s more, often the best Midtown NYC hotels are attractions in themselves – from big-name luxury like Ritz-Carlton and Hyatt to little boutique wonders, they hold enough secrets and activities to make you forget about sightseeing altogether. But of course, you won't. You’re in New York, after all – it’s probably why you came in the first place.
