YOUNG COUPLE LOOKING FOR THE BEST LOCATION/HOTEL IN MIDTOWN.

What do you mean by best? The answer may be different if you're willing to pay $500-1k or more per night compared to $200-$300 range. If your budget is < $150 then you'll likely to need to use priceline or take another step down in quality.

There are numerous threads on this exact same subject - you can use the search tool to look for "New York Hotels" to see some of the previous Q&A on the same subject.

Definitely do a search of this forum -- NYC hotels are discussed ad nauseum.

AND PLEASE STOP SHOUTING

Gekko,
:-? Aren't ALL hotels at popular travel sites/cities discussed ad naseum?

In fact, shouldn't Hawaii have it's own Forum? :-"O

How young and what's your budget?

Take your pick:

Madarin Oriental
Four Seasons
St. Regis

Hi Charlie,

My boyfriend and I drive to NYC several times a year! What a great city! We love The Roosevelt Hotel on the corner of Madison. We love the charm it offers. I just received an email from them on a summer offer. $199 a night and includes there breakfast which is excellent and also a bag lunch? for you to take along with you. Haven't heard of that before but okay. AND if you stay two nights the third if free. That's a good deal! We also liked Le Parker Meridian. Got on Hotwire for $135 a night a year or so ago. Didn't care for Park Central much or Sheraton Towers. We won The Waldorf Astoria for $115 a night over Thanksgiving, which was nice. But we keep going back to the Roosevelt. Just feels like "old" New York.

We love the city! Have fun! Don't miss a lunch or dinner in Little Italy. On the weekend they close down the streets. And also, every Saturday there is a street fair somewhere in the city. Find out where it is, great food and fun walk through. Lots of shirts/sweatshirts/hats, purses, stuff like that! Have fun planning you trip. Tons of helpful suggestions on previous posts. Let me know if I can help.

I'm going to stay at The Michelangelo in July, and it looks gorgeous. IT's right in the heart of Midtown near Theatres and Times Square. Decent rates on Expedia for summer months.
