In 2009, New York City was listed as the top tourist destination in the United States with 45.25 million visitors. Not all visitors to the Big Apple were visiting the sights, though, because many businesses call the city home and draw business travelers. Whether you are visiting New York City for pleasure or business, hotels along 55th Street in Manhattan can accommodate you.

Allergen-free feather beds, plasma televisions and ergonomic work stations make this hotel a prime choice for business or pleasure travelers. The hotel is one block from Carnegie Hall and a short walk from shopping on Madison and Fifth Avenues, and its concierge can help guests find just about anything.
