With a lovely garden, shared terrace, and free WiFi, it's a great base for music fans who want to stay central.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything—and Leo House delivers. You’re less than a 10-minute walk from major music venues near Penn Station and Chelsea Market. Just two minutes from the 23rd Street subway, it’s easy to head uptown for a show or get back late without hassle. Despite being in the center of the action, the hotel offers a surprisingly peaceful environment, perfect for post-concert wind-downs. While check-in is at 4PM, the 24-hour front desk makes late-night arrivals simple.
