On the same street as several chain hotels, the Hotel Four Points by Sheraton Midtown New York is a 4-star hotel with basic services done well: a gym, a cocktail bar and free wifi. It is a good fit if you spend the day out and want a comfortable bed in Midtown.
Location and getting around
The hotel is on West 40th Street, on the west side of Midtown and near the theatre district. Penn Station and Times Square are about a 10-minute walk away. You reach the Empire State Building in about 15 minutes and Grand Central Terminal in about 20. For Washington Square Park, about 2.9 km away, the subway or a taxi will save you time.
Rooms and facilities
Each room has free wifi, a 48-inch flat-screen cable TV and a coffee maker. Some have views of the city skyline.
- Sammy’s Bar, with snacks and cocktails.
- Equipped gym area.
- Breakfast for an extra charge.
There is no sign of a restaurant of its own, so you will need to go out for lunch or dinner. If you want breakfast at the hotel, add it when you book.
Who it suits
- A good fit if you are going to the theatre and want to walk back.
- Ideal if you travel alone or as a couple and do not need a restaurant in the hotel.
- Practical if you arrive or leave by train from Penn Station.
