The Spotlight on Hotel 48LEX New York

Modern Manhattan Vibes with a Concert-Ready Location

Hotel 48LEX New York offers a sleek, boutique-style stay right in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. Just steps from Rockefeller Center and within walking distance to Times Square and the city’s top music venues, this luxury hotel blends the comforts of home with upscale service. Featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, apartment-style rooms with kitchenettes, and a private lounge for guests, it's a quiet yet central hub for concert-goers looking to relax between shows.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re never far from the music here—major venues are just a short walk or subway ride away. The hotel’s central Midtown location makes it easy to catch a late show and still be home in minutes. Guests appreciate the 24-hour front desk, quiet rooms, and the ability to grab a glass of wine at the exclusive guest lounge after the encore. While check-in starts at 4:00 PM and checkout is at 11:00 AM, the concierge is ready to help with early arrivals or luggage storage.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends looking for a stylish crash pad near Times Square
Solo travelers chasing their favorite artist
Couples planning a music-filled weekend getaway
Fans who want a peaceful, upscale place to recharge
Budget-conscious fans who value location and amenities

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no 24/7 dining, the on-site Lexington Brass restaurant offers a great pre-show meal and post-show drinks. Guests also enjoy the second-floor guest lounge, which serves AM pastries and an evening wine reception. Plus, Midtown’s endless lineup of late-night eats is just outside your door.

Nightlife Options

You're in the thick of NYC’s nightlife scene. From low-key jazz lounges to buzzing rooftop bars, there’s something for every music fan within walking distance. The hotel bar provides a relaxing place to regroup post-show, and the concierge can point you to hidden local gems.

What People Say

Guests rave about the floor-to-ceiling windows and modern, clean rooms. Many appreciate the quiet atmosphere despite the central location. The exclusive guest lounge with free wine and coffee is a big hit, and reviewers love the feeling of being in a cozy apartment rather than a typical hotel room.

Areas for Improvement

Check-in time at 4:00 PM can feel late if you're arriving early for a festival weekend, but staff are helpful with luggage storage. Some guests mention the kitchenette could use a few more utensils, but it’s perfect for quick bites or storing leftovers.

The Bottom Line

Hotel 48LEX New York is a stylish, comfortable launchpad for concert-goers who want to be close to the action—but still sleep soundly after the encore.

Unpleasant

Liked: Breakfast is good, 5-7pm free wines at the lounge is good too
Disliked: Their check out process was a mess, and they mistakenly over-charged us for one more nights. Their response to our request for bill correction and reimbursement has been extremely slow and not helpful.

Good for family of 3.

Liked: Wonderful staff, great location, all our requests were fulfilled promptly. No issues with mattresses/sofas in our room, pretty quiet (10th flor). The room description mentions a kitchen, however, it’s impossible to cock anything as only a microwave included. It’s unclear why there is a dishwasher—there are no dishes at all.
