The Vue Express @ 39th Street

Affordable Gateway to Brooklyn & Manhattan Shows

Modern and fuss-free, The Vue Express @ 39th Street is a practical base for music lovers exploring both Brooklyn and Manhattan. Located just off Interstate 278 in the Borough Park area, this hotel offers a well-connected yet peaceful spot to unwind between gigs. With bright decor, wood furnishings, and essential comforts like free Wi-Fi and air conditioning, it’s a smart pick for travelers who want easy access to the city without the downtown price tag.

Only a 5-minute walk from the 36th Street subway station, you can reach Barclay’s Center in just 15 minutes, Times Square in 30, or even catch some sun at Coney Island Beach in 20. A 24-hour front desk and free continental breakfast add to the convenience for guests on the go.

Why Concert-goers love it

Thanks to its close access to the subway, getting to and from concerts—whether in Brooklyn or Manhattan—is a breeze. The hotel’s location on a quieter Brooklyn street means you can catch some real rest after a loud night out. Early check-in isn’t guaranteed, but the 3 PM start works well for pre-show downtime, and with an 11 AM checkout, there’s time to sleep in after a late night.
