Stanford Hotel

Located two blocks from the Empire State Building and Madison Square Garden, the Stanford Hotel, in Manhattan’s Koreatown, offers budget accommodations near New York City’s favorite attractions.

The Stanford Hotel’s exterior is best distinguished by its French Renaissance façade, merlot awning and vertical marquee. With marble floors, maple wood paneling and a granite reception desk, the hotel lobby is bold and inviting. Onsite, the Maxim Lounge serves complimentary continental breakfasts in the mornings, but transforms into a karaoke bar at night. Asian jazz bands perform in this space on Saturday evenings. Moreover, the Stanford features a 24-hour coffee shop, where guests can access high-speed wireless Internet. Guests also receive a discount at a local fitness center, located less than two blocks away.

Hotelbook Tip
Greeley Square is located less than one block west of the Stanford Hotel, and was designed to commemorate Horace Greeley. Aside from his role as owner of the New York Tribune, during the newspaper wars at end of the 19th Century, Greeley also founded the Republican Party, and is best remembered for having coined the expression, “Go west, young man.”

Traditional and warm, the 112 Stanford Hotel guestrooms feature cherry wood headboards, conservative furniture arrangements and lamp lighting. Each air-conditioned unit is equipped with a compact refrigerator, wireless Internet access and in-room safes. The televisions have built-in VCRs, and guests can rent videos through the front desk.

Positioned on W 32nd Street, between 5th Avenue and Broadway, in Manhattan’s Koreatown, the Stanford Hotel attracts leisure travelers from Asia and abroad. Surrounded by 24-hour Korean restaurants and businesses, this mid-rise Manhattan hotel also stays open late, to accommodate the long hours of the city's Korean greengrocers. The Empire State Building, Madison Square Garden/Penn Station, and Macy's department store are all fewer than two blocks away.

The New York Subway stops two blocks north at 34th Street, where 6th Avenue and Broadway intersect.
