The Fitzpatrick Grand Central Hotel is a very nice, boutique hotel for business travelers conveniently located on a quiet side street right across from Grand Central Station. It brings a unique Irish feel to your New York City visit, with a very friendly and competent service staff and comfortable rooms. I especially appreciated its small outdoor patio with heaters that made it possible to have a drink outside, even through it was the middle of winter!

The Affinia Shelburne Hotel in New York City is appropriate for business travelers who want to stay in the Murray Hill area and are looking for a larger boutique hotel that offers customized services, room service, and a location equally convenient to Grand Central or Penn Station.

The Carlton Hotel on 88 Madison Ave. in New York City is a solid bet for business travelers looking for a large (317 rooms), mid-town hotel in New York City. The modern, but classical-flavored furnishings are definitely upscale and service is strong. The hotel’s Country restaurant (located in the lobby) gets good reviews and is stylish but comfortable.

A great place to stay for anyone who needs to visit New York, but doesn’t want to pay high hotel prices, especially if they’re driving from the New England or upstate New York area. Just a 30-minute train ride away (about $13 round trip) from Grand Central, free parking, and a trendy, clean, and convenient interior , the Hampton Inn Yonkers New York feels like home the first time you walk in.

The Doubletree Metropolitan Hotel is a solid, midtown Manhattan bet for business travelers. It’s conveniently located almost on top of a subway stop (don’t worry if it’s raining or snowing!) at Lexington and 51st street, on the East Side.
