Lotte New York Palace

Lotte New York Palace is on Madison Avenue. It sits a five-minute walk from the shops of Fifth Avenue and the spires of St. Patrick's Cathedral.

While most hotels in this grid trade on their proximity to Midtown office towers, the Palace creates a barrier between the guest and the street. You choose this for the courtyard, a rare open space that renders the noise of the surrounding blocks suddenly irrelevant. It is a more deliberate retreat than the hotels bordering Central Park, which is a fifteen-minute walk away. If you prefer the structure of a grand arrival to the anonymity of the nearby boutique properties, this is the only logical choice in the area.
