An online travel agency takes 15 to 25 percent of the reservation as commission (Mews, April 2026, a hospitality software vendor). hotelhuddle works on a request model. Submitting an RFP is free, the platform sends the request to 50 or more hotels in the destination, and you pay the hotel directly at the hotel's own rate (hotelhuddle.com/how-it-works).
How this list is ordered
Ten New York properties, from the Midtown event floors to the boutique and five-star rooms. Each entry carries the address and the star rating the hotelhuddle directory lists, and the rate decision a direct request changes.
New York drew 52.4 million leisure visitors and 12.6 million business visitors in 2025 (New York City Tourism + Conventions, March 2026). The same organization booked 1,515 meetings and events that year, for almost 345,000 definite room nights.
1. New York Hilton Midtown
1335 Avenue of the Americas, four stars in the hotelhuddle directory. Hilton states 1,878 rooms at that address, between 53rd and 54th Street, and calls the property the hotel with the largest event space footprint in New York City, on 150,000 square feet of event space (Hilton, October 2021). Park Hotels & Resorts owns the hotel. Direct booking: the request reaches the property's group desk, and competing Midtown hotels answer the same dates.
2. New York Marriott Marquis

1414 6th Avenue, five stars. The property's own site places it in the center of midtown Manhattan. Direct booking: on a five-star rate the 15 to 25 percent an agency commission takes is the largest single item in the reservation (Mews, April 2026), and the request goes to the hotel's own desk.

Which properties answer mid-week and shoulder-season dates

The list divides into two groups. Hilton Midtown, the Marriott Marquis, the Hotel Edison and the Marriott Downtown sit in Midtown and Lower Manhattan, on the event and theater side. The Langham, the Peninsula, the Plaza, 1 Hotel Central Park and the Mandarin Oriental sit on the five-star side. Ace Hotel New York sits in NoMad.

Send the dates you are considering
One request covers the comparison. Submission is free, the platform sends it to 50 or more qualified hotels in the destination city, and nothing obliges you to book (hotelhuddle.com/how-it-works). Send a mid-week set of dates and a shoulder-season set as two requests, then compare the offers side by side.
