Located in quiet but central Midtown East, this Marriott has what you'd expect from the big chain (comfy, clean rooms, friendly staff, mediocre food), plus more -- a location with some history, freshly renovated rooms, great electronics, and a fancy top-floor gym with great views of the city. It's not cheap, but nothing is in this part of town.

The Langham Place Fifth Avenue is a modern luxury hotel conveniently located a four-minute walk from the Empire State Building and three blocks from Bryant Park. Some of the 234 spacious and minimalist rooms come with kitchens and laundry machines, making this an appealing choice for business travelers and families. Michelin-star Ai Fiori restaurant provides a distinct Riviera setting and Italian and French cuisine. Some of the 7,500 square feet of flexible meetings, events, and weddings spaces feature skyline or Empire State Building views. Chuan Body + Soul includes a modern fitness center and a Himalayan salt sauna. Just about the only downside is how simply the rooms are decorated. For a more striking design and an indoor pool, consider the nearby Chatwal, A Luxury Collection Hotel, New York.

The upper-middle-range Renwick Hotel is walkable to both Grand Central Terminal and the Empire State Building, and is convenient for tourists and business travelers. Elegant and artistic interiors reflect and celebrate New York City. The 173 decently-sized rooms feature eclectic furnishings like paintbrush door hangers and literary quotes on ink pads, reflecting the building’s history as a home for artists and iconic writers like Steinbeck and Fitzgerald. Aside from Wi-Fi and morning coffee, there aren’t many freebies here; breakfast isn’t included, and parking comes with hefty charges. However, the celebrity chef-owned restaurant offers room service, and there’s a business center and gym. Nearby, the DoubleTree by Hilton Metropolitan New York City has less style, but cheaper rates.

An iconic NYC landmark, the Lotte New York Palace is utterly palatial, with gilded stairways, marble floors, and a courtyard that reflects its palazzo design. Travelers are drawn to its high glamor and its incredible location, right behind St. Patrick's Cathedral and a short walk to Rockefeller Center and Fifth Avenue shopping. Rooms are split between two sections: The Palace (773) and The Towers (176), a separate hotel-within-a-hotel with a residential feel. (Read about The Towers here.) All Palace rooms have soaring views plus luxe extras like bathrobes, slippers, and free shoeshines. Decor is traditional and old-fashioned, and so is the tech: There are no in-room USB ports, and Wi-Fi costs a steep fee. Bathrooms are also a disappointment, with shower/tub combos that feel pedestrian. Both rooms and public spaces suffer from some wear, too. But fans of the property overlook these shortcomings to focus on its supreme glitz.

Located in business-heavy Midtown East, this quiet, upscale chain property is a solid option within walking distance of Rockefeller Center and Grand Central Terminal. Rooms are stylish, featuring clean lines, comfortable beds, and modern design elements -- but there is a fee for Wi-Fi and there are no coffeemakers or individual temperature controls. On-site amenities include a small but fully functional business center, a spacious fitness center with natural light, and meeting rooms that feature expansive terraces on the top floor of the hotel. There is no full-service restaurant, but a lobby bar and breakfast buffet are popular. Overall, this is a good choice for business travelers, families, and Hilton Honors members, though it may be worth comparing rates with The Lexington New York City.

The 209-room Benjamin is an elegant property in Midtown East, surrounded by skyscrapers and near many attractions and subway lines. Pretty rooms are spacious with kitchenettes, flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, and remarkably comfortable beds -- the hotel has hired a sleep specialist and offers a pillow menu to ensure a good night's sleep.

The neighborhood is quiet at night and there is a pesky fee for Wi-Fi.

This upscale, 116-room Hyatt (now Hotel 48LEX) opened in 2011, is one of the trendier hotels in corporate Midtown East. It is primarily designed for business travelers and couples, and almost all rooms can only fit two guests. Highlights include excellent views, in-room spa treatments, and a chic lounge that serves drinks and free snacks. The Andaz Fifth Avenue is comparably priced and just as stylish, but its rooms lack the 48LEX's kitchenettes.
