Your Midtown Base for Music, Lights & Late Nights

Modern and welcoming, Hampton Inn By Hilton Grand Central offers a relaxed retreat right in the heart of Manhattan. Just five minutes from Grand Central Station, you’ll be perfectly positioned to catch a concert, explore New York’s legendary music scene, or hop the subway to Times Square and beyond.

Each room comes with a flat-screen TV, coffee-making facilities, and a work desk, blending comfort with convenience. Whether you're in town for one epic night or a weekend of shows, you’ll appreciate the thoughtful touches and friendly vibe.

Why Concert-goers love it

The hotel is just a 5-minute walk to Grand Central-42nd Street station, making it a breeze to reach venues across Manhattan and Brooklyn. The 24-hour front desk and late check-out at 12:00 PM means you can sleep in after a long night of music. Tucked away on East 43rd Street, it offers a surprisingly peaceful stay despite its central location — perfect for winding down post-show.

Nightlife Options

You're just a short walk or subway ride from some of NYC’s hottest nightlife — think rooftop bars, jazz clubs, and late-night lounges.
