The Helmsley Middletowne Hotel is located in a smart East Side neighborhood noted for having as many great eating and drinking establishments as just about any place in the world. Situated on a quiet side street just off Lexington Avenue, the Helmsley Middletowne also is three blocks from Rockefeller Center and four blocks from the United Nations. Many other New York landmarks and famous Fifth Avenue shopping are all within easy walking distance.
Popular with UN diplomats, executives and those who appreciate a small, personal hotel with a residential feel, the elegant sitting room and lobby with crystal chandeliers sets a warmly inviting tone, right down to the complimentary continental breakfasts of fresh bagels, muffins, pastries, coffee and tea - a rare amenity in New York hotels. Although the hotel doesn't have its own restaurant, guests are within walking distance of world- renown restaurants serving nearly every cuisine known to New York tourists.
The hotel offers access to a neighborhood health club, business services and other amenities. Concierges are most adept at landing theater tickets and dinner reservations as well as providing dry-cleaning services.
Guest rooms are appointed with a pleasant traditional décor and old- fashioned quilted paisley-print bedspreads matched to upholstered headboards and formal window treatments. The rooms come equipped with refrigerators, cable TV with HBO, three phones each, hair dryers, Internet access and ample closets.
Described as a quiet haven in Midtown Manhattan, the Helmsley Middletowne, one of five N.Y. hotels in the famously named company, offers Hotels.com travelers everything they want in convenience, price and location.
