The practical hotel zone
Across 20 of the 20 properties within 0.5 miles of the Empire State Building, the August 2026 snapshot ran from $137 to $788 a night, with a median of $206. Treat those as reference points rather than rates you can book today.
Review scores in this radius have a median of 8.3, and 6 of 20 sit at 8.5 or higher. We rank on a review score weighted by how many reviews it rests on, so a perfect score from a handful of stays does not outrank a strong score from thousands.

FAQ
Common questions
How is distance measured on this page?
As a straight line between coordinates, not as a walking route. We hold coordinates for every property and we do not hold verified pedestrian routes, so quoting walking minutes would mean inventing them.
How many hotels are within 0.5 miles of the Empire State Building?
65 properties in our selection sit within 0.5 miles. This page shows the 20 closest, because past that point the extra options stop changing the decision.
Are these prices bookable?
No. They are reference points from our August 2026 snapshot, useful for comparing properties against each other rather than for setting a budget.
