Royal New York

Overview

Towering over Midtown Manhattan, the 96-story Royal New York is one of the city's largest hotels, and it's also one of the most centrally located. View modernist treasures just 1 block away at the Museum of Modern Art, or buy a few treasures of your own at the luxury boutiques of Fifth Avenue, 5 blocks away. Commune with nature in Central Park, ice-skate at Rockefeller Center, or catch a concert at Carnegie Hall- all are within a 5-minute walk of the Hilton. Times Square is just 10 minutes away.

With a staggering 151,000 square feet (14,028 square meters) of meeting and event space, the Royal is one of the largest conference hotels in the country. Finish up a presentation (or print airplane boarding passes) in the 24-hour business center (surcharge). Complimentary wireless Internet access is available in the lobby, and guests have access to an airport shuttle for a fee.

You'll find a choice of options for downtime between meetings or sightseeing. Prime people-watching spots, the Lobby Lounge and Bridges Bar both offer light menus with classic and contemporary cocktails. Minus5 Ice Bar is made entirely of ice, so don't forget to bundle up before enjoying a mixed vodka cocktail.

Your room key grants you 24-hour access to Hilton's spacious fitness center (surcharge).

After a day of meetings, retreat to a spacious guestroom or suite with Royal's luxurious Serenity Bed, featuring a pillowtop mattress and down duvet. Watch a movie (cable channels include HBO), or dock your MP3 player in the Royal Clock Radio. To enjoy upgraded amenities, choose a suite or executive-level room: both include private check-in and access to a lounge with complimentary continental breakfast and other perks.
