The Spotlight on The New Yorker A Wyndham Hotel

Classic NYC Charm Steps from the Action

With its bold Art-Deco design and iconic high-rise silhouette, The New Yorker A Wyndham Hotel offers vintage NYC flair in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. Located just across the street from Penn Station and minutes from Times Square, it's the perfect base for music fans catching shows at Madison Square Garden, Terminal 5, or Hammerstein Ballroom. The vibe? Classic New York energy with modern comforts and unbeatable convenience.

Why Concert-goers love it

You couldn’t ask for a better location—Penn Station is just 531 feet away, making late-night train rides or subway hops back to the hotel a breeze. With 24-hour dining and a helpful concierge desk that can assist with show tickets or post-concert dinner reservations, it’s built for fans on the go. Rooms are surprisingly quiet for Midtown, giving you a peaceful retreat after a loud, high-energy night.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for a central launchpad
- Solo travelers catching a dream performance
- Couples making a romantic weekend out of a concert
- Fans seeking quiet recovery after the encore
- Budget-conscious music lovers wanting Midtown location without luxury prices

Food and Drink Options

Two on-site dining spots, including a 24-hour diner, mean you’re never far from a post-show snack. Room service is available for late-night cravings, and nearby 8th Avenue is packed with quick bites and local restaurants. Enjoy breakfast at your own pace the next day—perfect for late risers.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself offers more of a classic, laid-back atmosphere, you’re just a few blocks from some of NYC’s best nightlife. From rooftop lounges to jazz clubs and cocktail bars, Midtown has something for every post-show mood. Want to keep it low-key? Sip a nightcap at the hotel’s cozy bar or explore nearby Hell’s Kitchen.

What People Say

Guests love the unbeatable location, especially for events at Madison Square Garden and nearby venues. Many mention the comfortable beds, fast elevators, and friendly front desk staff. The vintage charm of the building adds to the unique NYC experience.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms are on the smaller side—typical for NYC—and the building’s historic nature means some spots show their age. The elevators can get busy during peak times, especially right after major events.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers looking for a prime Midtown location, 24/7 dining, and easy access to major venues, The New Yorker A Wyndham Hotel hits all the right notes.

Robert G, Toms River Fri, 15 February 2013

It's a very old hotel but it is in a fantastic location for Manhattan. The price is exceptional for a NYC hotel and it is a clean, safe place to stay. Rooms were a little small but wouldn't stop me from staying again. Friendly staff.

Liked: Great location; nice price and clean.
Disliked: Small rooms.

Liked: We loved the location and easy access to all the sights. Also loved the vintage New York style of the property
Disliked: Only dislike for the property was the cleaning staff wanting to service the rooms at 8am. They were lovely and never unpleasant, but just too early for people on a holiday.

Great location and Nice staff!

Liked: I liked the location of the hotel. Near major attractions. The doorman that works day shift was very nice and helpful. And so were the cleaning staff. I loved the art deco style of the hotel.
Disliked: I requested a refrigerator and crib in our room before getting there. So I expect it in the room at check in. It wasn’t and took and hour to get it. Only to see that the fridge wasn’t even working. We lost a whole carton of milk!! The bed was too soft for my liking.
