With its location in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, you are just steps away from Manhattan's best-known attractions including the Empire State Building, 5th Avenue, Rockefeller Center, Madison Square Garden, NYC shopping, Times Square and much more. Many NYC Tours launch from near this area. (See Step 4, "NYC Sightseeing" to add sightseeing tickets to your New York Vacation Package.)

-Two Exquisite In-House Restaurants:

The Strand Rooftop Lounge & Bar: Designed by Lydia Marks, this is one of the hotel's signature features, with a retractable rooftop on the 21st floor boasting stellar views of the Empire State Building.

A Fish Called Avalon: The new hip sister to the popular Miami Beach seafood grill of the same name will include indoor garden seating, a piano bar and sidewalk café. Guests of the Strand can also order room service directly from the restaurant.

-COMPLIMENTARY BREAKFAST, SAVES MONEY. Every morning you get a free deluxe European buffet breakfast; a major savings for all travelers.
