Experience all Rockefeller Center has to offer.
The Paramount Hotel has an amazing location with Rockefeller Center at your feet.
Rockefeller Center has been called the “centerpiece of central Manhattan” because it encompasses 22 acres in the middle of Midtown. Rockefeller Center covers the ground and buildings between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, from 47th to 51st Streets, with all buildings being linked by underground walkways and concourses filled with shops, restaurants and other businesses.
Rockefeller Center attracts thousands of people a day through its Channel Gardens full of fountains, flowerbeds, and its famous gilded statue of Prometheus. The Gardens also are the site of the annual New York City Christmas tree. The centerpiece of Rockefeller Center, though, is the Rockefeller Center ice skating rink, which has undergone a recent renovation. Novices and professionals alike skate the ice every day, while the skyscrapers, like the GE Building that houses NBC studios, provides a towering backdrop.
The Paramount Hotel New York is within easy walking distance from Rockefeller Center. And the Paramount Hotel New York’s concierge services can help secure tickets to Radio City Music Hall, home of the legendary Rockettes, for any of their seasonal theme shows. (Radio City Music Hall is part of Rockefeller Center at the corner of Sixth Avenue and 50th Street.)
Or maybe you’ve dreamed of saying “Hi, Mom” on the Today Show. You can at Rockefeller Center, where the glassed-in studio can be seen on the southeast corner of 49th Street. Then take a tour of NBC studios; tours commence every 30 minutes between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. weekdays and Saturdays, and between 9:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Sundays. And then get in touch with your inner Peggy Fleming or Michelle Kwan as you twirl around the Rockefeller Center ice skating rink. Check with the Paramount Hotel’s concierge for tips on doing these things and for walking directions to Rockefeller Center.
And after you’ve enjoyed Rockefeller Center for the day, shopping and ice skating and sightseeing, relax with a drink at one of the Paramount Hotel’s two bars, The Library or the Paramount Bar, or enjoy dinner overlooking the hotel lobby at the Mezzanine Restaurant.
