Getting to the hotel from JFK (John F. Kennedy Intl)

- By car/rideshare/private car: most direct; time varies widely with traffic
- Taxis and ride apps pick up at designated airport curbs—expect tolls and a flat JFK–Manhattan surcharge on some services
- No hotel airport shuttle is confirmed; check local transfer companies if you prefer prearranged pickup
| Option | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Car / Rideshare / Taxi | Most direct; subject to traffic and tolls |

Getting to the hotel from LaGuardia (LGA)
LaGuardia is the nearest airport by distance, about 6.4–7.3 miles from the hotel; driving typically takes less time than from the other New York airports but is still affected by rush-hour congestion.
Driving directions from LaGuardia toward Midtown commonly use the Grand Central Parkway heading west and connections through the boroughs toward the Midtown Tunnel and E 39th St to the hotel.
- By car/rideshare: fastest option in many cases—times depend on traffic
- Taxis and ride apps operate from designated LGA pickup points; fares vary by company and route
- If you prefer scheduled service, look for private car companies that serve LGA-to-Midtown runs
| When to choose | Why |
|---|---|
| Rideshare / taxi | If you want direct door-to-door service without transfers |
| Prebooked private car | Predictable pickup time for early-morning or late-night flights |
| Public transit | May save money but requires transfers and checking MTA routing |
