West 57th Street by Hilton Club

Situated in a tiered skyscraper with a glass facade, the West 57th Street by Hilton Club hotel is a modern, cosmopolitan property that's geared toward the Hilton’s “Exclusive Shared Ownership” timeshare program and Hilton HHonors club members. Because of this and the hotel’s tourist-friendly location, the property is popular with leisure travelers. The hotel features well-maintained, modern decor that’s simple but tasteful. In the streamlined lobby, white tiled floors provide contrast for wood laminate walls and reception desks, and bright yellow accents. A siting area offers high-backed velvety armchairs and armless couches. These decor elements are seen throughout the hotel, uniting the common areas with a relaxed, modern atmosphere. 

Situated in midtown Manhattan just two blocks from Central Park, this Hilton Club hotel is ideally located for easy travel to almost anywhere in Manhattan, plus there’s plenty of sights in walking distance. In addition to restaurants and shops (including those on Fifth Avenue), Carnegie Hall, The Russian Tea Room, Central Park, and the MoMA are all within a two- to six-minute walk from the hotel. The rest of the city is easily accessible via the subway system. The F train is very close, and the N, Q, R and B, D, E trains are also a short walk from the hotel. While the area is busy, it’s a convenient spot for sightseers who want to be in the heart of the action.

For a hotel of this caliber, the amenities are fairly limited. The reception area is small and streamlined with little in the way of seating, and the only other spot to gather in the hotel is the Owner’s Lounge, where a free continental breakfast is served; this space has an outdoor terrace with modern seating. The hotel’s free breakfast includes a nice but standard spread with cereal, yogurt, and breads, as well as fresh fruit and coffee. While there are no on-site restaurants or bars, the hotel offers room service from the nearby Redeye Grill and Brooklyn Diner. A stylish (though windowless) fitness center features large murals of the city and has cardio machines with individual TVs, weight machines, free weights, medicine balls, and yoga mats. A small business center offers three PCs and a printing and fax machine for guest use. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel. A concierge is available during limited hours, and the hotel offers fax, laundry, and valet service. There is no daily housekeeping.
