High Line

Running along the west side of Manhattan, the High Line is an elevated park that was converted from the tracks of the elevated trains built in the 1930's. When the entire park is complete, it will stretch 1.5 miles long and run through the Meatpacking District, West Chelsea, and Hell's Kitchen. It runs from Gansevoort Street on the south to 34th Street (between 10th and 11th Avenues) on the north.

The park includes concrete pathways lined with natural flowerbeds along its course. The park also features fixed and portable seating, lighting, and other special additions. Access to the High Line is located every two to three blocks. All access points include stairs, while some have elevators. The High Line is open daily from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

The High Line is about 20 minutes west of LaGuardia International Airport by taxi. The hotel is within walking distance of Hell's Kitchen, Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, and the New York Public Library. Other nearby tourist sites include MoMA, Carnegie Hall, Ground Zero, Rockefeller Plaza, Central Park, Times Square, the Theater District, Central Park Zoo, Mission of St. Kitts and Nevis, the Empire State Building, New York Skyride, Grand Central Station, and St. Patrick's Cathedral, to name a few.
