Close to transportation hubs, all the attractions that New York has to offer and yet out of the way of the hustle and bustle is the Westin New York Grand Central.

The Westin New York Grand Central is located just two blocks from Grand Central Terminal and within walking distance of the Chrysler Building, Rockefeller Center, and Times Square. Whether you are in New York for business or pleasure you can't find a place any more convenient.

This modern hotel has 774 guest rooms or suites and is home to THE LCL: Bar & Kitchen and a 3,000 square foot state-of-the-art fitness center.

We stayed in the Premium Corner King Room. This well-decorated room was very spacious with a large entryway, a comfortable king-size bed and a pullout sofa that was actually comfortable. There was also a large work desk and chair with a port line as well as wireless internet for a cost.

The amenities included very nice toiletries, bathrobes, and a large flat screen TV. Starbucks coffee was a nice plus too.

The best part of the room was the view of the Empire State Building from the oversized windows.

The Westin New York Grand Central is at 212 East 42nd Street (between 2nd & 3rd Avenues).
