Fitzpatrick Grand Central

Classic Irish Hospitality Steps from Grand Central

A warm, European-style retreat in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, Fitzpatrick Grand Central blends old-world charm with modern comfort. Just a block from Grand Central Station, this elegant hotel is perfect for visitors looking to explore NYC’s vibrant music and nightlife scene while enjoying a cozy, quiet stay. With its on-site Irish pub, thoughtful service, and inviting rooms, it's a favorite among travelers seeking character and convenience.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and this hotel delivers—less than a 5-minute walk to Grand Central Station, making it a breeze to reach venues across the city via subway or late-night train. Despite its central setting, guests often note how surprisingly quiet the rooms are after a night out. The concierge service is great for last-minute ticket help or late-night transport advice, and with check-out at 12:00 pm, there’s plenty of time to sleep in after the encore.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a stylish place to crash between shows
• Solo travelers catching a bucket-list artist
• Couples planning a romantic concert weekend
• Fans seeking a calm, upscale space to recharge post-gig
• Budget-conscious music lovers who value quality and location

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Wheeltapper Pub offers hearty Irish fare and drinks in a cozy setting, complete with a working fireplace and an outdoor patio. Room service is available daily from 7:30am to 9:00pm—perfect for a post-show bite. While there’s no 24/7 dining, the location means late-night eats are just a short walk away. Breakfast is served all day, which is a win for concert-goers who need a slow start the morning after.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel doesn’t host live music, the Wheeltapper is a great spot to begin or end your night with a pint or a cocktail. You're also just a few blocks from Midtown’s bars and lounges, and a quick subway ride from the city’s top music and nightlife districts.
