About the property

What makes The Lexington Hotel, Autograph Collection worth the points.

The Lexington Hotel, Autograph Collection is a 725-room historic hotel at 511 Lexington Avenue and 48th Street in Midtown East/Turtle Bay. Built in 1929 and associated with New York’s Grand Central “Terminal City” hotel cluster, it is a New York City-designated landmark with Romanesque Revival and Art Deco character. Inside, the hotel leans into a Jazz Age New York identity, with specially commissioned art and design references to the building’s glamorous history. The setting is especially convenient for travelers who want to be near Grand Central Terminal, Rockefeller Center, the United Nations, Park Avenue, Madison Avenue and Fifth Avenue. Amenities are practical rather than resort-style: guests get a fitness center, 24-hour front desk, concierge desk, smoke-free setting, pet-friendly policy, valet parking and on-site dining through The Stayton Room plus a coffee shop/café. The property does not list a swimming pool, full-service spa or executive lounge, so it is best approached as a characterful Midtown base rather than a full resort-style hotel.

Timing

When to go.

Live · you're in July
Best time
May–Jun, Sep–Oct

These shoulder-season months usually offer mild, comfortable weather with lower crowds and prices than the summer and holiday peaks, while avoiding New York’s hottest, most humid period.

Avoid
Jan–Feb, Jul–Aug, Dec

January and February are the coldest winter months and commonly the cheapest but least comfortable for weather; July and August bring the hottest, most humid summer conditions; December is a peak holiday month with higher prices and heavier crowds.

From the analysis

A few more timing notes.

Spring and fall are strong times to stay if you want comfortable walking weather for Midtown landmarks such as Rockefeller Center, Fifth Avenue and Grand Central.
The holiday season is popular in this area because Rockefeller Center, Fifth Avenue and Midtown shopping are close by; expect heavier crowds around major attractions.
Summer can be convenient for sightseeing but often brings hot, humid walking conditions in Manhattan.
Weekdays can be especially practical for business travelers because the hotel is close to Grand Central, Midtown offices and the United Nations area.
The fine print
  • · Rooms in historic Midtown Manhattan hotels can be compact, especially in standard categories.
  • · The hotel does not list a pool or full-service spa among its amenities.
  • · Valet parking is available for a daily fee, with higher pricing for oversized vehicles and no in/out privileges noted.
  • · There is no published club lounge, so lounge-style elite benefits should not be expected.
