Hotels with a View of Central Park
Central Park is the most visited park in the United States. It is one of the reasons why locals love New York and also the reason why real estate close to it is the most expensive real estate on the planet.
The park stretches from the end of Midtown to Harlem, offering many miles of trails for anyone who wants to jog or walk.
While the 59th Street is home to some of the city’s best hotels, there’s no shortage of hotels with a view of Central Park to choose from, but don’t expect to find budget or mid-range hotels with such views.
