Hotwire Hotel: 4.5* New York City (Midtown East) The New York Palace

[iqdarko]

Hi, I am new here, and was wondering if anyone could help me before my first bid!

I am looking for 3 rooms in the above dates, in NYC.

was thinking about luxury hotel between 4* - 5* and max price $220.

The areas I like are: Central Park South, Theater District, Midtown east, Midtown west, Empire Building.

Is that a realistic price? I would love examples if you have any...

And any other tip to help me get the best possible room would be great!!

Thank you! :)

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

How many people are going to be in each room?

Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

Thank you! :)

We are going to be 2 people in each room (to be honest, we are going to be 2 rooms 11th - 17th and another room 11th - 15th, but the details are less important for you I guess :) )

Thanks again!

Yes, you should be able to get a 4* hotel for these dates at $220 or under.

If you're willing to accept any 4* hotel in the zones that you're willing to accept, you can try PRICELINE, but here are some guesses if you're interested in having a guess of the hotel before purchase:

$177 Millenium Broadway

$190 Affinia Shelburne

Let us know your thoughts and how you'd like to proceed and we'll take it from there.

Thank you! that sounds great..

Do you have an estimate of what will cost me a 5* hotel? I am just curious heh...

Thanks from your help!

[thereuare]

HOTWIRE has a 5* hotel in the Central Park East zone for $248/nite which i'm guessing to be The Carlyle, if that is of any interest, but not in the zones you've mentioned above. If this is a good option you could bid for a 5* up to $248/nite and if rejected take this HOTWIRE option... if you're only looking at the MTE, MTW, TS, CPS and ESB zones then a guestimate would be around $300.

Congratulations on your success!

Glad to see you received the hotel you were hoping for and that you're happy with the results.

You're also near my often recommended Ess-A-Bagel (Third Ave at 51st St) which has one of the best bagels in the city, makes for a nice, and relatively inexpensive, breakfast among local NYers.

Thank you for sharing your win with the board.
