Where to stay near New York Life

The go-to pick is Lotte New York Palace — A landmark luxury hotel across from St. Patrick's, in the Park Avenue core — the room for hosting a client or an executive visit.. The office sits in Midtown Manhattan, on Madison Square (51 Madison), so book to that submarket rather than defaulting to “downtown.” See the full verified shortlist for New York Life →
