Queens is the largest borough in New York City, and I’ve always found it full of hidden gems and exciting attractions to explore. When I stay in Queens, I love that there are so many hotels to choose from—whether I want something familiar or a spot that feels more personal. You’ll find all your go-to hotel chains here, along with smaller places that offer warm, personalized service.

Looking for pools, free Wi-Fi, or even stunning skyline views? I’ve stayed in hotels that have all of that and more. Whatever your travel style, you’ll have no trouble finding a place that checks your boxes and helps you enjoy a truly great stay in the Big Apple.
