The George Manhattan, Tapestry Collection By Hilton

Eight floors of a converted West Harlem residence hall, The George Manhattan sits on West 126th Street between Morningside and St. Nicholas Avenues, four blocks from the 125th Street Metro-North stop and a fifteen-minute walk to Columbia University — a fit for academics, visiting faculty, and travelers wanting Harlem's brownstone streets over Midtown crowds.

Rooms keep tall original windows and wide oak-trimmed hallways from the building's institutional past. The lobby bar draws a local crowd most evenings, not just hotel guests.

Apollo Theater and Marcus Garvey Park both fall within a ten-minute walk.
