If you're looking for Murray Hill hotels near Grand Central Station, look no further than Westgate New York Grand Central! This neighborhood's history is as rich and diverse as the Murray Hill hotel history that lies within, hallmarked by a semi-normal, home-from-school, college town type feel that often finds its young professional travelers partying until the early morning among the pubs, sports bars, and 30-something haunts that line third avenue and Midtown East Manhattan. Visitors and residents alike often convene the evening with easy going (and romantic) walks on the East River, after an affordable evening dinner at any of the superior Korean, Indian or Sichuan food joints that give this local enclave the energy and youthful spirit it exudes. With several blocks of this urban area often dubbed 'Curry Hill' on account of its Indian-influences restaurant scene, this casual, down-to-earth neighborhood has something for everyone!
