Hotels near Empire State Building

The Empire State Building is a 102-story, supertall skyscraper in the Midtown South neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City, United States. The building was designed in the Art Deco style by Shreve, Lamb & Harmon and constructed between 1930 and 1931. Its name is derived from "Empire State", the nickname of New York state. The building has a roof height of 1,250 feet (380 m) and stands a total of 1,454 feet (443.2 m) tall including its antenna. The Empire State Building was the world's tallest building until the North Tower of the World Trade Center was topped out in 1970; following the September 11 attacks in 2001, the Empire State Building was once more New York City's tallest building until it was surpassed in 2012 by One World Trade Center. As of 2025, the building is the eighth-tallest building in New York City, the tenth-tallest completed skyscraper in the United States, and the 59th-tallest completed skyscraper in the world.

Staying near the Empire State Building means basing yourself in Midtown South, on Fifth Avenue at the edge of Koreatown and the Flatiron District — a well-connected patch of Manhattan with easy subway access rather than a single "hotel strip".

Because the immediate blocks around the tower are prime Manhattan real estate, staying right on top of it can carry a premium; moving a little further out, perhaps towards Chelsea or Murray Hill, often trades a few extra minutes' walk for calmer streets and better value, without losing the convenience of Midtown's transit links.

Given the building's magnetism for tourists — expect queues, street noise and crowds at street level, especially near the entrance — a room a short distance away can actually mean a better night's sleep. From this base, Central Park is a straightforward next stop, making Midtown South a sensible anchor for a broader Manhattan stay rather than a one-attraction visit.
