When deciding where to stay in NYC, it can be hard to pick from the five boroughs. Midtown Manhattan is the iconic New York that most people dream of, complete with bright yellow taxis, bustling crowds, flashing signs, and plenty of sightseeing. When it comes to the hotels in Midtown, they live up to and exceed all expectations. While being in close proximity to the city’s hottest and most well-known attractions is reason enough to stay at one of these properties, these hotels offer more than just a place to rest after a long day of exploring. From luxury high-rises with Michelin star restaurants to boutique stays with sweeping views of the city, it’ll be hard to catch some z’s when your hotel is just as exciting as the city itself.
