Hotel Wales, a 3-star hotel rated 8.0/10 on Booking.com, is a 30- to 50-minute drive from JFK Airport, depending on traffic, or an hour-and-a-half via public transportation. The hotel near airport occupies a walkable and quiet location in Manhattan's Upper East Side, a posh residential neighborhood home to the famous Museum Mile, Central Park, and Madison Avenue. The nearest subway station on 96th Street provides easy access to top attractions like the Museum of Modern Art, the Empire State Building, Times Square, the High Line, and One World Trade Center.

Diverse Dining Options
The hotel has two popular restaurants: Paola's Restaurant, serving Italian specialties like freshly made pasta, and Le Paris Bistrot, offering French cuisine in a charming setting. An Italian restaurant in the lobby is popular with locals, and Paolo's NYC serves lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch. Guests can also enjoy a cup of coffee or tea from the free dispensers in the lounge.

The hotel's elegant interiors, featuring cream, beige, and rich brown hues, pair leather armchairs with dark wood furnishings and floral wallpaper.
“In my opinion, this boutique hotel provides a charming contrast to Midtown, nestled in the Upper East Side near the Metropolitan Museum and Central Park; I appreciate the old-world elegance, even if some find it a bit worn. With its dog-friendly environment and rooftop terrace, the hotel certainly has its own appeal. I think it makes a solid choice for those wanting a different New York experience.”
