How to Choose the Right New York Hotel Base

Central Park South works best for broader first trips.

Upper East Side works best for slower museum-led stays.

In heritage-heavy districts, also check whether elevators, step-free entry, or older staircase layouts matter for your stay before narrowing the shortlist.
