New York Hotels

New York definitely has lure, temptation and glamour - an inexplicable alluring nature - something most other cities in the United States simply cannot offer. And one of the most enticing areas New York offer is the magical Manhattan area. Actually Manhattan is what New York is all about.

A visit to New York is incomplete without a stroll through Manhattan. Explore the museums and the great art scene, experience the unique and vibrant Broadway theatre, shop till you drop, or just go see what really happens on the 'Great White Way' - Manhattan is sure to keep you entertained and busy during your visit to New York, no matter how long or short the stay is.

Compared to the rest of the Unites States, the hotels in New York are somewhat expensive. But it's the same with most of the bigger glamorous cities - guess its part of the glam deal. And even though there are many lodging options available, for most travelers finding a proper place to stay in New York can be a difficult task, especially as the options are overwhelming.

Depending on your preferred attractions and forms of entertainment, you are sure to find accommodation close by. Most of the areas in and around the major attractions, such as Broadway and the Lincoln Centre, are dotted with hotels and other establishments offering lodging. If you plan to lodge at a high-end address, do keep in mind that these hotels also boast rates to match. On the other hand, if you wish to find more affordable lodging in Manhattan, try some of the smaller lodging providers. Most of the smaller establishments are located just outside the big attractions, yet within the city it self.

The key to a successful trip is finding the correct place to stay. Plan early and list out the things you want to do and see, especially as New York offers plenty, and find the best areas to stay. Sort hotels according to location, mix and match and do plenty of research online to get the best locality. Once you have selected the areas lookout for the smaller, privately run establishments. This is where planning early comes handy, most of the good budget hotels get booked well in advance. Also by planning early you can pick some of the great deals offered by online lodging option providers.

The temptress New York has lodging for all its visitors, but sometimes it might be a tad difficult to find your ideal accommodation. If you have specific travels plans and a limited budget, opt for one of the smaller, well established hotels in Manhattan itself.

For easy access to the best of Manhattan try the European-style boutique hotel, Fitspatrick Manhattan Hotel New York. With a typical Irish atmosphere, comfort and luxury, the hotel's location in the trendy east side offers easy access to best shopping experience, especially the designer boutiques of Madison Avenue, and some of the much sought after New York sights such as the Rockefeller Center, the United Nations and the Central Park.
