The Towers at Lotte New York Palace

The Towers at Lotte New York Palace is on Madison Avenue. It sits a five-minute walk from St. Patrick’s Cathedral and is steps away from Fifth Avenue shopping.

You choose this hotel for the proximity to midtown retail, which is a rare commodity in such a dense corridor. While its neighbors are often caught in the churn of the office district, the house car service allows you to bypass the walk to Central Park when the weather turns. It is a more practical base for a weekend of shopping than the smaller boutiques further downtown, provided you prefer the efficiency of being at the center of the grid over the character of the city’s residential pockets.
