Hotels near Central Park
Central Park is an urban park between the Upper West Side and Upper East Side neighborhoods of Manhattan in New York City, and the first landscaped park in the United States. It is the sixth-largest park in the city, containing 843 acres (341 ha), and the most visited urban park in the United States, with an estimated 42 million visitors annually as of 2016. Central Park is owned by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation but has been managed by the Central Park Conservancy since 1998 under a contract with the government of New York City in a public–private partnership. The conservancy, a non-profit organization, sets Central Park's annual operating budget and is responsible for care of the park.

Central Park is enormous, so "near the park" can mean very different things depending on which side and which end you pick. The Upper West Side tends to suit visitors who want a more residential, less frenetic base, with easy access to the American Museum of Natural History and the park's western paths, while the Upper East Side offers proximity to Museum Mile and a quieter, more genteel feel. Staying near the southern end, closer to Columbus Circle or Midtown, puts you nearer the subway hubs and Fifth Avenue shopping, but you'll be sharing pavements with considerably more tourist traffic.
The trade-off is straightforward: pay a premium to wake up steps from the park, or stay slightly further afield and put the savings towards museum tickets or dinner.
Wherever you base yourself, the park itself is really several different experiences depending on entrance point — the Ramble and reservoir up top feel worlds away from the Sheep Meadow and zoo further south — so it's worth checking which stretch your hotel actually sits closest to before booking, rather than assuming "Central Park" means one single neighbourhood.
