Hotels Near Rockefeller Centre in New York City

Consisting of 19 buildings which span 11 acres in Midtown Manhattan, the Rockefeller Center houses a myriad of shops and restaurants alongside NBC television studios, Radio City Music Hall, and the famed Rockefeller ice rink. The Top of the Rock Observation Deck on the 70th floor of the Rockefeller Building provides an expansive view of New York City--notably the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge and Chrysler Building. Outdoor aficionados in the area will find plenty to occupy themselves, as both Central Park and the grassy expanses of Madison Square Park sit nearby. Hotels near Rockefeller Center tend to be exclusive properties in a high price range, but some budget hotels are available.
