Recent Fitzpatrick Grand Central Review: "This is a great hotel in a great location with great value! Upon check-in we were told that the king-size bed confirmed at reservation was a mistake & all they had was queen-size. To accommodate the difference they offered us an upgrade to a slightly larger room & a free drink in the bar - a nice way to settle in to the City! Hotel staff were friendly & accommodating. They quickly brought to the room, a roll-away bed without linens. We notified the front desk that we needed linens & another robe. Both were there when we returned to the room after our drinks. The room was very clean (a spoon left in the sink was probably overlooked by housekeeping). The bed was great - very comfortable! Although the room fronted the street, it was very quiet. There was a refrigerator, robes, a large umbrella for our use if needed, iron & board, pants press, safe, hair dryer & plenty of thick towels. Although small, the lobby was comfortable with overstuffed furniture. We actually visited with a friend for a while in one of the seating areas. We ate once in the bar - the duck quesadillas were light & tasty! There is another restaurant in the hotel; an enclosed patio restaurant. Check-out was easy. We were able to leave our luggage with the bell-hop until we were ready to leave a few hours later. Retrieving our luggage took a while as rather large airline crews were checking in and out at the same time. This is a great boutique hotel for the value in NYC & I would highly recommend it. It has an old-world European charm with modern accommodations. I will stay there again & could see it being my base whenever in New York."

Overview
Enjoy genuine Irish hospitality just a short walk or ride from New York's most popular attractions at the Fitzpatrick Grand Central. This Midtown East hotel, part of the Irish-family-owned Fitzpatrick hotel group and renovated in 2011, is filled with charming touches that transport you to the Emerald Isle. The green-carpeted lobby includes a cozy fireplace, Irish newspapers, and a clock set to Dublin time. Railroad photographs remind you where you actually are, 2 blocks from Grand Central Terminal, with the magnificent Chrysler Building in plain view, 1 block south.

You can easily frame your day around world-class sightseeing. Less than a mile from the hotel, take in a Broadway hit, then join the crowds in glittering Times Square. Tour the luxury shops along Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue: Saks, Tiffany & Co., FAO Schwarz, and Barneys are all within 10 minutes by cab. Go the same distance to explore Rockefeller Center, with its wintertime skating rink and spectacular Top of the Rock Observation Deck. If districts beyond Midtown are calling, walk 5 minutes to Grand Central Terminal and catch a subway or bus.

When you've worked up an appetite, stop by the Fitzgerald's Wheeltapper Pub, named after railroad inspectors who literally tapped wheels. The pub is rich in Irish ambience, with dark-wood furnishings and authentic fare such as corned beef and cabbage and 8 types of draught beers. A courtyard with a heated deck offers pleasant outdoor seating. If you're on an Irish-themed holiday, indulge in a pub tour. The Blarney Stone Restaurant, O'Neill's Irish Pub, and Patrick Conway's Pub are all within a 5-minute walk. Need to work out? The hotel offers complimentary access to the New York Sports Club, 4 blocks away. Guest parking at the hotel is also available (surcharge).

Later, retreat to your Hotel Rooms, featuring a partial-canopy bed and brocade drapes. Marble bathrooms with designer toiletries and Irish terry robes let you freshen up in luxury. Watch a movie on the flat-screen TV, or catch up with friends via wireless Internet access (surcharge). In the morning, refuel with hearty Irish oatmeal at the Wheeltapper, or 24-hour room-service dining is available.

Hotel Rooms
Canopy beds, elegant tapestries, marble baths, nightly turn down service and plush bathrobes provide a comforting and distinctive guest retreat. Accommodations feature high- speed Internet access, cable television, in-room safes and designer toiletries.


A short guide to Midtown

Some of NYC’s best-known landmarks are north of 14th and south of 59th—or Midtown Manhattan. Here, couples kiss atop the Empire State Building. Grand Central Station’s opal-faced clock is a famed meeting spot. While fortunes are made on Wall Street, fortunes are spent at Fifth Avenue’s shops. Other highlights include Madison Square Garden, the United Nations, and the Garment and Diamond districts.

Recreation

Guests receive complimentary day passes to the New York Sports Club, a chain with locations throughout Manhattan--including one 4 blocks away. In addition to a wide range of cardio machines and weight equipment, the club offers a sauna and steam room.
