The Fifty Sonesta Select New York

Overview

Let's get to the core of things. This place is in the perfect location, only 5 minutes from the Rockefeller Center and a short stroll from the billboards of Times Square and those Wicked shows on Broadway. You might say it's an a-peel-ing stay, with spacious rooms, cosy beds and a lovely doorman to welcome you back after a day of exploring. So, don't let people pip you to the post on this one - you won't find a sweeter stay in the Big Apple. (sorry).

Just a heads up that the hotel requires at least one guest on the booking to be over the age of 21 to be able to check-in.

Just so you know, a facility fee of $44 per room, per night applies at this hotel - and it's exclusive of tax.

Distance from airport

John F. Kennedy International Airport is around an hour's drive from the hotel - just a hop, skrrt and a jump in a yellow cab when you're soaking up the sights.

Rooms

Guest rooms with king-sized beds, Studios with urban kitchens and Junior Apartments big enough for 4 - take your pick! Whatever room tickles your fancy, you can count on having a serious night's sleep on a signature mattress, FREE high-speed Wi-Fi to power your late-night Netflix binges on the Smart TV, accompanied by a mini fridge to cool your beers, and then a cup of Joe from your very own coffee machine in the morning, to put some pep in those steps around the city's streets.

Studios are a great choice for a more flexible stay, with a kitted-out kitchen that comes with everything you need to cook up a storm - gas hobs, microwave, toaster, a fridge and all the cutlery and tableware you could ask for. Studios fit 4 people so it's perfect for a small family - or for keeping the cost down on a group trip (you can buy the kids a snow globe instead).

Junior apartments come with all the above, plus extra space and a living room with a pull-out sofa bed.

Food & Drink

Grab a salty snack or fizzy 'soda' from The Cupboard to keep you going on your adventures. It's the hotel's pantry, stocked with nibbles, drinks and even souvenirs and gifts. Oh, and there's wine!

Sports & Entertainment

In the city that never sleeps, it's not surprising the gym here is open 24/7. But after getting your steps in stomping the sidewalks of NYC, you might prefer to snuggle up by the fireplace in the lobby with a nightcap from The Cupboard, and let your small-town blues melt away.
