The Spotlight on HGU New York

Historic Charm Meets Midtown Music Energy


Set in a beautifully restored 1905 Beaux Arts building, HGU New York blends classic architecture with a modern, artsy vibe right in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. With curated artwork throughout, marble floors in the lobby, and a boutique feel, this hotel is both photogenic and functional. Just steps from the subway and a short walk to iconic venues, it's a smart pick for music lovers ready to explore the city.

Why Concert-goers love it

Located only 233 feet from the 33rd Street Lexington Avenue Subway station, HGU New York makes getting to and from your concert venue a breeze—whether it’s uptown, downtown, or in Brooklyn. After a late night out, enjoy complimentary WiFi to share your concert memories and a peaceful, art-filled space to wind down. While check-in starts at 4:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM, the concierge is happy to store your bags if your schedule doesn’t quite line up.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a stylish Midtown base
  • Solo travelers catching a must-see show
  • Couples making a romantic concert weekend
  • Fans wanting a quieter retreat after the music ends
  • Budget-conscious travelers seeking boutique vibes without splurging

Food and Drink Options

While HGU New York doesn’t offer 24/7 dining, there are plenty of walkable eateries nearby serving everything from late-night pizza to upscale bites. The hotel’s lobby bar offers a cozy spot for a pre- or post-show drink. And if you're sleeping in after a big night, local cafes bring solid breakfast options within a block or two.

Nightlife Options

Midtown may not be the nightlife capital of NYC, but you’re just a few subway stops from the East Village, Chelsea, or Brooklyn. That said, the hotel’s own bar is a relaxed spot to wind down with a craft cocktail. Nearby lounges and pubs also offer a more low-key scene for post-concert hangs.

What People Say

Guests love the stylish interiors, friendly staff, and convenient location close to both transportation and iconic NYC attractions. Many highlight the hotel's artistic ambiance and comfortable rooms as perfect for unwinding after a show. Reviewers also appreciate the strong WiFi and cozy atmosphere.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the rooms are on the smaller side—typical of NYC boutique hotels. Others mention occasional street noise, so light sleepers might want to request a higher floor or bring earplugs if staying on a weekend.

The Bottom Line

HGU New York is a stylish, well-located choice for concert-goers who want a cool, comfortable retreat in the city that never sleeps.

A comfortable stay with my...

Liked: Super comfortable, big bed with lots of comfy pillows. Nice decor. Newly renovated bathroom with great shower pressure. Coffee shop and pastries attached to the hotel was excellent. Close to Times Square, Empire State Building and short walk to Central Park (20 min).
Disliked: As per previous reviews, there is a very unusual, damp, musty smell when walking through the double door entrance of the hotel. It is an awful smell... observed damp beneath the carpet which is likely the cause. The hotel is run by the big chain Hilton - it's a massive surprise that Hilton hasn't sorted this quickly. Terrible wifi in the rooms, non- existent on the 7th floor.

I would stay here again,...

Liked: The room was comfortable and had shampoo, conditioner and soap. There are robes, hairdryer and iron.
Disliked: A nespresso machine and the ability to connect to Netflix, Apple TV, etc... would have been great. Some days the room was made up at then end of the day and the garbage hadn't be emptied.
