DoubleTree by Hilton New York Downtown

Six blocks from Battery Park, DoubleTree by Hilton New York Downtown occupies 8 Stone Street in the Financial District's cobblestone historic strip, one of Manhattan's few surviving 17th-century-pattern lanes now lined with bars and lunch counters rather than counting houses.

The four-star tower puts Wall Street and the 9/11 Memorial within a ten-minute walk, and the Staten Island Ferry terminal is closer still, making it a practical base for business travelers and ferry-bound sightseers alike.

Stone Street itself closes to traffic on weekend evenings, turning the block outside into an outdoor dining strip through summer.
