The Surrey, A Corinthia Hotel New York is at 20 East 76th Street, on the Upper East Side, a block from Central Park. It is a 5-star hotel with a landscaped rooftop, a French restaurant and a bar. It is a good fit if your trip revolves around the museums of upper Manhattan.
Location and getting around
The Metropolitan Museum is about a 10-minute walk, so you can go back and forth several times. Columbus Circle is about 25 minutes on foot across the park, and MoMA about 30.
Midtown is further than it looks: Times Square is about 2.6 km away and Grand Central Terminal about 2.7 km, so for those trips the subway or a taxi is the better choice. According to the property, Central Park is about 140 m away.
