What The Fifty Sonesta Select New York actually is

The Fifty sits on East 50th Street between Second and Third, a residential-feeling block well away from the Midtown crowds. The inventory is unusually suite-heavy for a hotel at this price, with many units including kitchenettes and separate living areas.

That makes it a practical choice for families and longer stays. The location is convenient without being central: Grand Central is a ten-minute walk, the UN is five, and the E and M trains at Lexington Avenue connect quickly to the rest of the city.

What stands out

  • 01 Suite-heavy inventory with kitchenettes
  • 02 Quiet residential block in Midtown East
  • 03 Ten minutes' walk to Grand Central, five to the UN
