Hotels near Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Metropolitan Museum of Art, colloquially referred to as the Met, is an encyclopedic art museum in New York City. By floor area, it is the fourth-largest museum in the world and the largest art museum in the Americas. With 5,727,258 visitors in fiscal year 2025, it was the most-visited museum in the United States and the fifth-most visited art museum in the world.

292 hotels within 5km of Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan, United States, with nightly rates from around $123 to $5,041 (averaging $462), including 203 properties rated 4 stars or higher. The closest is The Mark New York, about 0.5km away. Madison Square Garden and Yankee Stadium are within reach for a gig or a match.

The Met sits on Fifth Avenue against Central Park, on the Upper East Side — a genteel, residential stretch rather than a hotel district in its own right, so options thin out closer to the museum and cluster more thickly a few blocks south around 59th–60th Streets, where the Upper East Side meets Midtown. Basing yourself right by the museum means quiet evenings, easy morning access before the crowds arrive, and pleasant walks through the park, but fewer choices for dining out or nightlife once the galleries close. Staying instead near Midtown or Columbus Circle trades a short subway or bus ride (the 4/5/6 and various crosstown buses all serve the area) for a livelier base with more restaurants, shops, and onward transport links.

Of the 151 hotels we track in the area, 111 are rated 4-star or higher, so this is generally an upscale pocket of Manhattan — expect fewer budget options than in areas like Midtown West or the Financial District. That skew reflects the Upper East Side's character as much as proximity to the museum itself.

If the Met is your priority — say you want repeat visits or an early, unhurried start — the closest hotels are worth the premium. If you're also planning to take in MoMA or the Morgan Library, a Midtown base often works better logistically, putting you within easy reach of several collections rather than anchored to one.
