Where to Stay When Visiting KKR (New York)

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

KKR's headquarters is in Hudson Yards. Pick the right district — and the right airport. In New York, the airport choice quietly decides the trip.

Direct answer: Visiting KKR's New York HQ (30 Hudson Yards): stay in the Hudson Yards / Midtown West area near the office. Stay in Hudson Yards or Midtown West near KKR — there are hotels in the development itself and more a short walk east. It's its own pocket on the far west side, well served by the 7 train and a quick hop to Penn Station. Hudson Yards sits on the far west side, so Newark (EWR) and LaGuardia (LGA) are about the same — roughly 30 minutes each, with EWR often a touch easier off the West Side Highway. JFK is about 50 minutes. For most trips here, EWR or LGA.

KKR is a global investment firm (private equity, credit, and infrastructure), headquartered at 30 Hudson Yards, New York, NY 10001. That's Hudson Yards and Manhattan West — the far-west-side district around the 7-train terminus, where BlackRock, Pfizer, and KKR anchor new towers with hotels built into the development.
