The Viceroy Central Park New York is a luxury hotel with 240 rooms centrally located in Midtown, just two blocks from the bottom of Central Park. Rooms have modern amenities like Beats by Dr. Dre sound systems, Smart TVs, and Illy espresso-makers. The hotel has a restaurant and bar in the lobby, a rooftop bar with Central Park views, and a 24-hour fitness center in addition to a concierge and other upscale services. But extras like breakfast, parking, and Wi-Fi aren't included in all room rates and can be pricey. Still, the Viceroy is a good value for its location and pearl level -- some comparable properties can cost more than double (we're looking at you, Ritz-Carlton) -- but travelers could compare rates with the nearby JW Marriott Essex House, which features dramatic Art Deco decor in its lobby.

The Archer Hotel New York is an upper-middle-range, 180-room property that sits on a fairly calm street, just two blocks from Bryant Park. The main floor’s lobby and foyer bar are cozy, chic, and welcoming, and the very hip on-site steakhouse means a good meal is close at hand. But the hotel's crowning highlight could be its rooftop bar, which offers spectacular views of the Empire State Building. Rooms are stylish, but they're far from spacious, particularly at the entry level. However, even the smallest ones sing the praises of New York City, with free local treats, classic literature, and artwork that highlights city life. Prices are competitive for the area, but the nearby Refinery Hotel has more square footage when it comes to rooms.

A modern boutique hotel with mid-century inflections, the 208-room Quin has all the amenities and attributes for a luxury Midtown Manhattan stay. Located on 57th Street at Sixth Avenue, two blocks from Central Park, the hotel puts you within walking distance or a quick subway ride from most of New York's major sights. It ticks all of the important boxes for a luxury hotel: Rooms are modern and luxurious, the downstairs restaurant and bar is a popular local spot, and the large fitness center can arrange for personal training sessions. Additionally, the hotel goes above and beyond to offer personalized concierge service with its Attaché program (concierges here are described as "lifestyle curators"), and each room's phone has a button that connects to a Bergdorf Goodman personal shopper.

The 345-room, upper-middle-range Belvedere Hotel is located in Midtown West, within easy walking distance of many attractions. Art Deco decor in the public spaces provides an elegant ambience, while the tastefully decorated and spacious rooms have kitchenettes. Features include a large, modern fitness center, a Brazilian steakhouse restaurant, room service, and business services (for a fee). The safe, central Theater District location makes The Belvedere a good choice for both families and business travelers. It's a great value, as rooms are among the best in this price category for this touristy area, but it may also be worth considering the (sometimes slightly pricer) Blakely and Chambers hotels.

Between the contemporary art (even in the guest rooms) and the high-design lobby, this luxury boutique feels as much like a SoHo gallery as a hotel. Central Park, the Museum of Modern Art, and Fifth Avenue are all within a three block radius. The cheapest rooms might feel like a tight squeeze but they're spacious for New York standards and lofted suites with expansive balconies are more like luxury apartments than hotel rooms. David Chang's Ma Peche restaurant and Milk Bar are hot spots for Manhattanites and hotel guests. There isn't a fitness center but guests get free passes to a nearby gym and pool. Chambers Hotel is a rare find for the Midtown East neighborhood. Though prices are high, most hotels in this neighborhood (St. Regis New York,The Peninsula New York, Four Seasons New York) are even higher and they don't offer room service by David Chang.

Located just minutes from some of Midtown's best attractions -- Times Square, Fifth Avenue's shopping stretch, and Rockefeller Center, among them -- the 124-room Holiday Inn Express Fifth Avenue is a comfortable option with free Wi-Fi and continental breakfast. The standard rooms, though cramped, have either a king-size bed or two doubles -- a rare thing, in New York. Distrikt Hotel, another value spot in Midtown, charges for its continental breakfast, but could be an excellent alternative for travelers hoping for a bit more style.
