The Spotlight on Boro Hotel

Skyline Views and City Sounds from Long Island City


Boro Hotel is a modern, industrial-chic hotel in Long Island City, offering sleek design, floor-to-ceiling windows, and stunning views of the Manhattan skyline. Located just across the East River from Midtown Manhattan, it offers a quieter, artsy alternative to staying in the city, while still keeping you close to the action.

With custom furnishings, hardwood floors, and a minimalist aesthetic, this hotel blends boutique style with comfort. Guests love the open, airy feel of the rooms and the convenience of being just minutes from top NYC venues via the N and Q subway lines.

Why Concert-goers love it

The Boro Hotel is ideally positioned for music fans heading into Manhattan—just a quick subway ride away from major venues like Madison Square Garden and Radio City Music Hall. The 39 Avenue Metro Station is just 1148 feet from the hotel, offering late-night transport back after the encore. Rooms are quiet for NYC standards, and the 24-hour front desk makes late check-ins hassle-free. You'll also enjoy a flexible 12:00 PM checkout—perfect for sleeping in after a late night out.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a stylish base with easy access to the city
  • Solo travelers catching a once-in-a-lifetime gig
  • Couples planning a romantic concert weekend
  • Fans seeking a quieter post-show retreat
  • Budget-conscious concert-goers wanting luxury without the Manhattan price tag

Food and Drink Options

The hotel offers a cool on-site café and bar with options for light bites and drinks. While there's no 24/7 room service, there are plenty of local eateries just a short walk away, many open late. Breakfast is available on-site, and the spacious lobby terrace is a great spot to start your day after a night out.

Nightlife Options

While the Boro Hotel itself doesn’t host live music, you’re a quick subway trip from some of NYC’s best bars, lounges, and music venues. Long Island City also has a growing scene of craft cocktail bars and breweries within walking distance, ideal for a pre-show drink or a chill nightcap.

What People Say

Guests rave about the skyline views, friendly staff, and the ultra-modern room design. Many mention how convenient the subway access is for exploring the city and getting to concerts. The peaceful vibe and spacious layout make it a hit with travelers wanting a break from Manhattan’s bustle.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the hotel doesn’t offer full-service dining or room service, which can be a drawback after a late night. Others mention that while the location is close to the subway, there's not much happening directly around the hotel.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a stylish, comfortable, and conveniently located hotel just outside Manhattan, Boro Hotel offers a perfect mix of city access and post-concert peace.

Nice position. Very sparse hotel...

Liked: The streamlined modern rooms and the views of Manhattan were spectacular
Disliked: The "balcony" was just a metal frame and no seating area. The aircon leaked in the bedroom. No b and b in the rate.

Good

Liked: The food here was AMAZING. The staff were really nice and accommodating. The lobby was beautiful, the cafe was very nice, and we slept fairly well.
Disliked: The showers were a bit cold because there aren't doors on it, and the rooms were missing things. I have never stayed in a hotel with no mini fridge in it. The exposed wiring and plateless junction box on the ceiling were very unappealing, which is not something I expect at a luxury hotel. Additionally, one of the reasons we stayed at this hotel was because of the rooftop bar which we were really excited about. Our first night it was completely closed, the second night a big fundraiser was going on and there was no room for us, and the DJ was blasting the music so loudly we couldnt hear eachother so we went to a bar deeper in the city. That was very disappointing. When you pay so much for amenities they should always be available to all guests.
