Penn Station sits at 31st Street and Seventh Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, connecting Amtrak, NJ Transit, and the Long Island Rail Road under one roof. The hotels on this list were chosen based on taxi time from Penn Station, subway access, shuttle availability, and a mix of star ratings so travelers at different budgets can find a good fit. Every hotel here falls within a 10-minute taxi ride or 20-minute transit trip from the station.
Why Penn Station travelers should prioritize proximity
Arriving at Penn Station with luggage after a long Amtrak or NJ Transit ride is not the moment to figure out a complicated subway transfer. The station's main exits drop you onto Seventh Avenue between 31st and 33rd Streets, and the hotels closest to those exits save you the most time and effort. A 3-minute taxi ride costs around $10 to $12 with tip and gets you to the door without navigating stairs or turnstiles with bags. The hotels on this list were chosen with that specific scenario in mind.

Transfer tips for Penn Station arrivals
- Taxis and rideshares pick up on Seventh Avenue outside the 32nd Street exit — skip the 34th Street side during rush hour, as it backs up.
- If you arrive on NJ Transit or the LIRR, the A, C, and E subway lines connect directly inside the station concourse without going outside.
- Ask your hotel about luggage storage if you arrive before check-in time — most Midtown hotels offer it at no charge.
- The 1, 2, and 3 trains stop at 34th Street-Penn Station on the west side of Seventh Avenue, one block from the main taxi stand.
Hotels near Penn Station: what each segment offers
The five hotels on this list cover a range from a 3-star historic property directly across Seventh Avenue from the station to a 5-star luxury hotel two blocks west in the Hudson Yards corridor. Budget-focused travelers get the most from The New Yorker or Hotel Pennsylvania, both within a 2-minute walk of the station entrance. Travelers who want upscale rooms and a full-service experience will find Pendry Manhattan West and Kimpton Hotel Eventi worth the slightly longer taxi ride. The Marriott New York at the Brooklyn Bridge sits in the middle of that range with reliable 4-star amenities and a location that works well for both leisure and business travelers.
