01 / THE BRAND
What it’s all about.
Park Lane puts Central Park South at the center of a New York visit. The attraction is a strong Midtown base, particularly if park walks, museums and city views are higher on the wish list than a downtown neighborhood atmosphere.

02 / WHAT IT COSTS
Room rate + $49 mandatory daily fee
The official FAQ lists a mandatory $49 destination fee. A two night stay therefore adds $98 before any applicable fee taxes. Standard car valet is listed at $65 without in and out privileges; confirm the current total and vehicle rules.
Prices in US dollars unless stated otherwise. Starting prices and historical examples are not live offers. Select your dates, guest ages and travel product, then compare the final total and cancellation terms.

05 / THE SHOPFEST VERDICT
Is it worth your trip?
Choose Park Lane for the address and confirm the view you are paying for. For a family of five, settle the room configuration first: a rollaway is not a solution here.
