Between Fifth Avenue and the Avenue of the Americas, on 55th Street, the Hotel The Shoreham New York is a 4-star hotel suited to both tourism and business trips. Its strengths are having MoMA and Rockefeller Center around the corner and a business centre open day and night.
Location and getting around
The exact address is 33 West 55th Street. On foot, MoMA and Rockefeller Center are about 5 minutes away. Times Square and the Central Park entrance at Columbus Circle are about 15, and Grand Central Terminal about 20.
The hotel places Carnegie Hall about 650 m away. To get to One World Trade Center (6.5 km) or the Metropolitan Museum, about 35 minutes on foot, you may prefer the subway or a taxi.
Rooms and facilities
Each room has a flat-screen TV, a reinforced mattress and 250-thread-count bed linen. The gym and the business centre run 24 hours, and so does reception.
In the building there is a restaurant, White Olive, and a bar. The staff can help you with transfers and with tickets for Broadway shows. For breakfast there is a buffet, a menu and an American option.
Who it suits
- Business travellers who need to print or prepare meetings at any hour.
- Guests who want to go to Carnegie Hall or a musical and walk back.
