Wyndham New Yorker Hotel

With 912 rooms on several dozen floors of the iconic Art Deco skyscraper just next to Penn Station, the Wyndham New Yorker Hotel lights up much of the city with its glowing red New Yorker sign. It has an old-school chandeliered lobby and a storied history: It opened in 1930 with much glitz and glam, and then was purchased by Reverend Sun Myung Moon and his Unification Church in 1975. Only 3 blocks from the Empire State Building, you get a stunning up-close-and-personal view of the iconic skyscraper.
