World Center Hotel

Modern Comfort Steps from NYC's Iconic Landmarks

Modern and sleek, the World Center Hotel sits in the heart of Lower Manhattan, directly across from Memorial Plaza and just a short walk from Battery Park. With clean lines, neutral décor, and smart in-room technology like bedside touch-screen monitors and iPod docks, this hotel blends style with convenience. Guests rave about the stunning city views from the rooftop restaurant and the free Wi-Fi and bottled water on every floor.

Why Concert-goers love it

The hotel’s location in the Financial District puts it within easy reach of subway lines and ferries, making it a breeze to catch shows across the city—from Brooklyn venues to Midtown arenas. After your concert, retreat to a quieter part of Manhattan to unwind. With late 3:00 PM check-in and a generous 12:00 PM check-out, there’s no rush after a late night out. Plus, the 24-hour concierge is always on hand to help with directions or late-night cravings.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a stylish home base near nightlife and multiple subway lines
• Solo travelers checking off legendary artists at NYC venues
• Couples making a romantic weekend of city concerts and riverside strolls
• Fans seeking a quieter spot to recharge post-show
• Budget-conscious music fans wanting solid value in a prime location

Food and Drink Options

The on-site rooftop restaurant, View of the World Terrace Club, serves up contemporary American fare with skyline views worth lingering over. While the hotel doesn't advertise late-night dining or room service, the Club Living Rooms offer free refreshments and you're within walking distance of late-night eateries in the Financial District. Sleep in after your show—plenty of nearby cafes serve breakfast into the late morning.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself keeps things calm and classy, you’re just a short subway or cab ride from NYC’s most vibrant music scenes and nightlife spots. Discover live music bars in the Lower East Side or chill out with a craft cocktail at nearby lounges. Prefer something low-key? The rooftop bar’s views are a perfect end to an unforgettable night.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the hotel’s clean, modern rooms, exceptional location, and the rooftop dining experience. Many highlight the friendly concierge staff and the little touches like free bottled water and in-room tech. It’s often described as a “hidden gem” in the Financial District.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the neighborhood can feel a bit quiet at night—great for rest, but not ideal if you're looking for action right outside your door. Others mention that the rooms, while modern, are on the compact side (as is typical for NYC hotels).

The Bottom Line

With smart amenities, a calm downtown location, and easy access to the city’s top music venues, the World Center Hotel is a concert-goer’s ideal crash pad in NYC.
