ISC East, the security industry conference held at Jacob K. Javits Convention Center each November, draws around 6,100 attendees to the Far West Side of Midtown Manhattan. The hotels below are the five closest bookable properties to the Javits Center, ranked by walking distance. Where distance is equal, higher star rating and guest satisfaction determined the order.
How to get to Javits Center from each hotel
The Javits Center is on 11th Avenue between 34th and 40th Streets. Every hotel on this list is west of 9th Avenue, which means you walk along 34th, 36th, or 33rd Street toward the Hudson River. There are no subway stops at the front door: the closest MTA service is the A, C, E at 34th Street-Penn Station, about a 10-minute walk from the venue itself. For most attendees staying at these hotels, walking to Javits is faster than taking the subway. The M34 SBS bus runs along 34th Street and stops near the venue entrance if the weather turns. November temperatures in this part of Midtown average 39°F to 44°F, so pack a layer for the walk. The blocks between 9th and 11th Avenues are wide and exposed, with minimal shelter from wind off the Hudson.

Practical tips for ISC East attendees
- Book early: the Javits Center hosts multiple events in November, and the hotels within a 5-minute walk fill up months in advance.
- ISC East is a separate event from ISC West, which takes place in Las Vegas each spring. Make sure your booking matches the New York dates: November 3-5, 2026.
- The Javits Center's main entrance is on 11th Avenue at 38th Street. Factor that into your walking route if your hotel is on 33rd or 34th Street.
- Rideshare pickup at Javits can back up during peak session breaks. The walk to your hotel is often faster than waiting for a car.
