Best Hotels near Radio City Music Hall

Baccarat Hotel takes the age-old style rivalry between New York and Paris and turns it on its head. Instead of declaring a winner, the hotel marries the cities' renowned aesthetics together, creating a grandeur that delights guests. Walk into any one of the 114 accommodations and you'll find it decorated in a minimalist white color palette with sleek wooden four-poster beds, marble-topped nightstands and cashmere throws. Grab a drink at the crystal chandelier-clad bar and you'll be transported to 1920s-era Paris, or get your blood pumping at the fitness center. Whether your preference is old or new, this hotel knows how to do luxury. Along with an indoor pool and gourmet French cuisine, guests can enjoy a chauffeured joy ride anywhere within 15 blocks of the hotel in the property's house car. The hotel is also home to the Spa de La Mer, which as its name suggests, utilizes the luxury French brand in all of its treatments. But what guests love most is the location: The hotel is four blocks north of Rockefeller Center and five blocks south of Central Park, plus the Museum of Modern Art is across the street. Though a stay here is expensive, members of the I Prefer rewards program can offset costs by cashing in points.

This mansion-turned-hotel was designed by Stanford White and funded by railroad tycoon Henry Villard in the late 19th century; since then many have spent the night in the Lotte New York Palace (including the fictional Serena van der Woodsen of "Gossip Girl"). Previous visitors say the hotel is exquisite, from the decor to the view of St. Patrick's Cathedral just across the street. But above all, guests love the classic accommodations, outfitted in soothing neutral tones with brocade drapes and offering extra touches like thick terrycloth robes and 42-inch plasma TVs. Although some bemoan the iconic hotel's steep room rates and note a few issues with requests from hotel staff, most say the ideal location and impressive views make it worth the price.

Some people visit New York City for the shopping, some for the dining and others yet for the museums. But for those who reserve their Big Apple trips for the Radio City Rockettes and a spin around the ice rink at Rockefeller Center, The Jewel is a real gem. Overlooking the iconic plaza, The Jewel is beloved among recent guests for its convenient, central location with near-immediate access to the Theater District, Times Square and many more of the city's top attractions. When you do retreat to your room you'll find free high-speed Internet access, iPod docking stations and floor-to-ceiling glass windows with views of Rockefeller Center or St. Patrick's Cathedral (in most of the rooms). Guests praise the plentiful on-site amenities like free bottled water on each floor, a fitness center and a seventh-floor restaurant at the affiliated private business club, The Terrace Club. (Meals at the Club's dining venue are 20 percent off for hotel guests.)
