In a vivacious locale like Manhattan, you can never run out of things to do and places to see. I lived in the city for five years and I still feel that I haven't tasted everything that New York has to offer. Before coming to New York, a tourist must always check out (or should I say 'check in') lodging options. A perfectly situated hotel with awesome discount rates will most definitely kick off an unforgettable New York experience and serve you the city's attractions on a platter. So pull up a chair, arm that mouse, and start clicking away as you discover your ultimate New York discount hotel amidst captivating cites even before you set foot in the grandest city that ever existed.

You can't possibly go to New York without marveling at the holy ground that is Time Square. When you want to lavish in the midtown New York air, I suggest you pick a hotel within the vicinity of Time Square where almost everything worth seeing is just within reach (or a quick cab ride so you better practice your hailing skills). When you think about New York hotels, you come up with two earth-shaking words -- Hotel Pennsylvania. It certainly is hailed around the world as one the most popular New York hotels. No wonder people who are in town for business and/or leisure always check out available rooms at the Hotel Penn. It's a two-star hotel with a whole lot of star quality so no matter if you're paying with daddy's *AMEX Platinum* card or hard-earned cash, you know you're in for an exclusive treat. Choose from 1,700 guest rooms, junior suites, and executive suites and book that room online today. With Macy's and the Fashion District just a tumble away, you'll make all your glitzy shopping dreams come true. Even with a limited one-day pass into the city, you should always make time for Time Square.

For the ultimate theatrical extravaganza, open your ears and eyes to the majesty of 'The Great White Way' -- Broadway. Also found in Manhattan's colorful midtown district, it is the home to around 36 theaters that host the most celebrated musical and theatrical productions the world has seen to date. Get tickets for the latest Broadway hits such as Wicked, Chicago, Spamalot, and Mama Mia while you leisurely park your suitcases at the luxurious four-star Iroquois Hotel. With 114 deluxe hotel rooms for the taking, make sure you book those reservations way in advance because they go faster than Barney's items on sale.

Who can forget the classic movies like 'An Affair to Remember' and 'Sleepless in Seattle' that used New York as one of their romantic backdrops? Deborah Kerr and Meg Ryan were utterly brilliant but there was one other thing that stood out the most -- The Empire State Building. Not even a wild city newcomer like King Kong could resist the 1,050 feet beauty. Enjoy a breathtaking view every time you peer out the window from the four-star Vincci Avalon Hotel. Take in European-style accommodations without even leaving New York City.

A more laid-back traveler will appreciate a relaxing stay somewhere close to the soothing air of Central Park. The four-star Excelsior is a landmark hotel in the charming upper west side of New York City that provides tourist and business accommodations with just a hint of the Old World and loads of unequivocal hospitality. It has an awesome view of plenty attractions exclusive to the west side such as the Hayden Planetarium, the American Museum of Natural History, and the unparalleled Central Park. Lounge and relax in Excelsior's French adored suites after you see everything that Manhattan has to offer.
