Midtown Hotels in Manhattan, New York

Midtown Manhattan runs from the Hudson to the East River and between 14th and 59th streets, occupying the heart of the city. Encompassing Times Square, Rockefeller Center, Broadway and the Empire State Building, it's one of the city's three major "subdivisions." More than 700,000 commuters work in its offices, hotels and retail establishments. If you really want to see the city at its best, head east to the water and walk past the Brooklyn Bridge, then up to Central Park. The experience is as unique as the city itself.
