Check Availability

When would you like to stay at Affinia 50?




‘Ample space, friendly staff, clean & tidy’

Part of the Affinia hotels’ highly respectable brand, Affinia 50 is the former Plaza Fifty hotel which was fully renovated and re-launched after a $12m renovation in late 2004. Located in the heart of midtown and close to Fifth Avenue’s shops, Rockefeller Plaza and Grand Central Station, its many people’s perfect hidden secret, and is also close to several world class restaurants.


‘Unpretentious, this hotel doesn’t try to do too much by offering too much, instead, it simply focuses on what its good at, namely providing good service and clean, tidy internal spaces and suites. Room service can be taken via an excellent local Indian restaurant, but there is no restaurant on site. A great location means this is simply not a problem’
