As the very first in the Pod Hotels collection, Pod 51 Hotel ushered in a new generation of budget hotels in New York City and remains one of the most unique and affordable hotels in the city to this day.

Perfectly located on a charming, tree-lined block in Midtown Manhattan, our recently renovated hotel makes it easy to experience it all without spending it all on your hotel room.
 
At the hotel, you’ll find comfortable, inviting spaces for relaxing or catching up with work, from our chic, comfy hotel rooms to our café, patio and courtyard, and al fresco rooftop. Step outside and it’s a few steps to three major subway lines, Fifth Avenue, Central Park, Grand Central Terminal, Rockefeller Center, and much, much more. The opportunities for exploring, shopping, eating, and playing are limitless!
