Staying at a hotel in New York City can be costly to say the least. In fact, the average hotel night in the city went for a whopping $417/night this past fall.

Now that the holiday hustle and bustle has quieted, you can finally score a good deal thanks to NYC Hotel Week. The program, which is a part of New York City Tourism + Conventions, offers 25% off stays for a variety of the city's most celebrated hotels this winter.

What hotels are worth booking?

This is truly a judgment call based on your interests and budget, but we can say that a few spots on Time Out's best hotels list are offering deals. To name a few highlights:

  • The Rockaway Hotel in Queens: This hotel along Rockaway Beach feels like a quiet oasis. You can book an ocean view king room with a terrace for about $192/night.
  • The William Vale in Brooklyn: It's all about the views at this luxury spot in Williamsburg. Right now, a king room with a balcony is going for about $258/night. That's down from the typical price of $572. 
  • The Plaza Hotel in Manhattan: Live like Kevin McCallister in your very own room at The Plaza. We're finding king rooms going for about $886/night.

Other hotels on the list are offering budget-friendly deals for around the $100/night mark. A bunch of chain hotels are on the list, too, like Wyndhams, Hiltons, and Marriotts, so be sure to check those out if you have brand loyalty to a certain chain.
