Events in New York
One event a year moves hotel prices in New York, and this is what it does to them. Where to stay, how long each district is from the venue, and how to get here.
What is on

The weeks the city fills
4–7 Nov 2027
New York City Marathon
Worst: Race day at ×2.4. Cheapest: Expo and build-up at ×1.6.
Against what the same hotel costs four weeks earlier — our estimate, not a live rate. Outside these weeks New York prices like any other month.

Where to stay
Central Park (finish)| District | To the venue | Price | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper West Side | 10 min walk | $$$$ | Walk to the finish and to the family reunion area; the runners' district |
| Midtown | 20 min metro | $$$$ | Thousands of rooms, the expo at the Javits Center, and the early-morning buses |
| Upper East Side | 15 min walk | $$$ | The other side of the park, on the course at mile 24, slightly cheaper |
| Downtown Brooklyn | 35 min metro | $$$ | On the course for its longest stretch, and a different price band entirely |
| Long Island City | 30 min metro | $$ | One stop from Midtown across the river; the value play that still works |
