On the Ave - from $259

A hotel blocks from Central Park, On the Ave Hotel brings modern luxury and peace of mind to New York travelers, who identify with the pace of Manhattan’s Upper West Side.

Bold and modern, the On the Ave lobby has been reduced to its bare essentials – vast marble floors, confident stone columns, and floor-to-ceiling windows. A pianist plays on weekday afternoons and weekend mornings in the connecting lounge, where polished wood floors, plush fabric seating and a banquette alcove serves as an elegant rendezvous point for guests. On the 16th floor, On the Ave Hotel features a balcony with Adirondeck chairs, potted plants and panoramic views of Central Park and Manhattan’s Upper West Side skyline. Other noteworthy hotel amenities include discounts at a nearby fitness center, wireless Internet access and a business center.

While the hotel does not have a restaurant of their own, the Manhattan Diner, located directly across from the hotel on Broadway, offers 24-hour room delivery, and will charge meals to the hotel room bill. Favorite menu items include waffles, chicken souvlaki and matzo ball soup.

Distinguished and charming, each of the hotel’s 267 guestrooms boast modern mahogany desks, beveled mirrors, framed artworks and large windows that lend sweeping views of Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Praised by comfort-seeking patrons, the guestrooms feature featherbeds with down comforters and 310-thread-count Italian linens. On the Ave guestrooms also include a number of sophisticated amenities, including flat-screen televisions, Frette Italian bathrobes and slippers, and Belgian chocolates with turndown service.

"Service was excellent.The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful.They went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable." Murray, January 2009

"I was on the internet for weeks before our trip. I constantly read how small rooms were in Manhattan, On the Ave. however, had very nice sized rooms with a fair amount of storage so you could actually put your clothes away..It was a great room and a great hotel. All employees were very friendly and accommodating. I had stayed in Manhattan once before, and had actually wanted to find a hotel in this same area, when I could not, I settled for the best hotel I could find that fit my budget. After staying at On the Ave. I found I actually liked this location better.. More restaurants nearby, more attractions nearby and close to Central Park and the subway..I really cant say enough good about this hotel." Linda A May 2010
