Best places to stay when visiting New York City

New York City has some of the most famous hotels in North America. There are literally hundreds of options, so how do you choose? One way is to locate accommodations close to the attractions you are most interested in. If you want to see Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty, or Battery Park be sure to check out the Lower Manhattan listings below. The Midtown and Central Park listings put you near attractions such as Times Square, Broadway, the empire state building, and, of course, Central Park. In both Lower Manhattan and Midtown there is a luxury hotel ($350+), a comfortable lodge ($225 - $350) or a wallet-friendly inn ($110 - $225 per night) just for you.

LOWER MANHATTAN
Lower Manhattan is the hub of the American financial world, and the epicenter is historic Wall Street. Whether it's history of the financial markets or a tour of the New York Stock Exchange, you'll find it here. Lower Manhattan is also the starting point for ferry tours of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, some of the most famous icons in American history. Lower Manhattan is also the site of the World Trade Center disaster and there are plenty of artifacts and surreal visuals from that tragic event. To stay near any of these attractions, try one of the following hotels:

LUXURY
Ritz-Carlton New York, Battery Park
Two West Street
New York, NY 10004
(212) 344-0800
The Ritz-Carlton offers views of the statue of liberty, Ellis Island, and the financial district what more could be said! The accommodations are comfortable and spacious, and the service is excellent. If you're looking for the complete package, the Ritz-Carlton is it. There are even telescopes in the rooms for up close viewing of the sights!

COMFORTABLE
Embassy Suites Hotel New York
102 North End Avenue
New York, NY 10282
(212) 945-0100
The Embassy Suites offers a complimentary breakfast and family-friendly amenities in every room such as a refrigerator, pull-out sofa and microwave oven. Located across from the World Trade Center site, and with views of the Hudson River, this hotel can be a comfortable home-away-from-home while staying in New York, particularly for families.

WALLET-FRIENDLY
The Wall Street District Hotel
15 Gold St
New York, NY 10038
(212) 232-7700
The rooms are smaller, and the view is somewhat less breathtaking, but you are right in the heart of the financial district, just three blocks from Wall Street. A very comfortable stay, especially if you are working with a tight budget.
