Where to Stay When Visiting Citigroup (New York)

By Rachel Julian, Editor-in-Chief · · 5 min read

Citigroup's headquarters is in Tribeca / Financial District. Pick the right district — and the right airport. In New York, the airport choice quietly decides the trip.

Direct answer: Visiting Citigroup's New York HQ (388 Greenwich St): stay in the the Financial District / Battery Park City area near the office. Stay in the Financial District or Battery Park City near Citigroup — downtown is compact and walkable, and the hotels here put you minutes from the bank towers. You don't need Midtown for a downtown meeting; the short commute is the whole point. From Lower Manhattan, Newark (EWR) is usually the closest — about 25 minutes through the tunnel — with LaGuardia (LGA) ~35 and JFK ~45. Newark is the quiet pick for a downtown trip; LGA still works for domestic.

Citigroup is a global bank, headquartered at 388 Greenwich St, New York, NY 10013. That's the Financial District and Battery Park City — the Wall Street core and the waterfront just west of it, where the big banks headquarter and a cluster of hotels sits within a few blocks.
