Penn Station is at 31st Street and Seventh Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, connecting Amtrak, NJ Transit, and the Long Island Rail Road under one roof. The hotels on this list were chosen based on taxi time from Penn Station, subway access, shuttle availability, and a mix of star ratings so travelers at different budgets can find a good fit. Every hotel here falls within a 10-minute taxi ride or 20-minute transit trip from the station.
Why Penn Station travelers should prioritize proximity
Arriving at Penn Station with luggage after a long Amtrak or NJ Transit ride is not the moment to figure out a complicated subway transfer. The station's main exits drop you onto Seventh Avenue between 31st and 33rd Streets, and the hotels closest to those exits save you the most time and effort. A 3-minute taxi ride costs around $10 to $12 with tip and gets you to the door without navigating stairs or turnstiles with bags. The hotels on this list were chosen with that specific scenario in mind.
