Hotel Information: A chrome-and-black-glass entrance glitters outside, but inside the New York Helmsley is much more subdued. A floral carpet helps keep the lobby quiet and the ambience tranquil.

Insider tip: Grand Central Terminal 2.5 blocks west of the New York Helmsley includes a marketplace where vendors sell baked goods, sandwiches, salads, and a variety of take-away foods in addition to produce, meat, seafood, and cheese.
