Downstate New York Hyatt Hotels Hotels: Downstate New York Hotel Guide

30 Rockefeller Plaza is an Art Deco skyscraper in the middle of Rockefeller Plaza in Manhattan. At 850 feet (260 m) high, the 70-story building is the 14th tallest in New York City and is a great place for capturing views at sunset (especially because it offers views of the Empire State Building).

To get this shot, head to the top of Rockefeller Center, known as "Top of the Rock." The entrance is on W 50th St between 5th and 6th Avenues. Tickets can be purchased on the basement level of building. Be sure to purchase your tickets in advance in order to make your way to the top by sunset (the entry system is timed). Also allot time for a security screening and wait times at the elevator.

Once you arrive at the observation deck take the escalator to the upper levels where your views won't be impeded by the glass windscreens. Tripods are not allowed (although monopods are allowed), but you can rest your camera on the stone barriers of the upper observation deck. Additionally you can use a table-top tripod for stability.

Top Downstate New York Hotel Reviews

The Westin New York Grand Central

10/10 Excellent

"From the time we checked in till the time we left the stay was absolutely amazing. The room was spacious and clean the staff was very friendly. Loved having a great city view. The beds were comfortable the breakfast was amazing this place has all the amenities you would need. It’s close in walking distance to most things but if your not up for walking your right next to the train to get you where ever you need to go. The only disappointment (not really) was the pillow we never could it to be comfortable. Other than that will definitely consider this hotel again for future stay in the city!!"

Hilton Garden Inn New York Times Square South

10/10 Excellent

"I was very impressed with this hotel. Staff were very professional and friendly from Manager to all staff, Room was spotless and clean. Only suggestion put longer shower curtains in your roll up bathrooms. I had to use towels to dry the floor as the curtain was too high. "
