Our take
Travelers seeking a refined evening experience with a prime Midtown location will appreciate this Hilton Club. Its rooftop bar is ideal for those who enjoy sophisticated cocktails and city views after a day of exploring. However, guests looking for extensive rooftop amenities beyond a bar, such as a pool or a full-service restaurant, might find the offerings more limited. This property caters to urban explorers who value convenience and a chic spot for a nightcap.
- ✓Head to the rooftop bar just before sunset to experience the city's transformation from daylight to a glittering nightscape.
- ✓Reserve a table by the edge of the terrace for the most unobstructed views of the surrounding Midtown architecture.
- ✓Consider visiting during a weekday evening for a slightly more relaxed atmosphere compared to the bustling weekend crowds.

Why guests love itA family of four on a holiday trip booked Hilton Club The Central at 5th for the sofa beds and the Midtown location near Rockefeller Center and St Patrick's Cathedral. While the children slept, the parents slipped up to the rooftop bar and lounge for an evening cocktail with the city lights around them. Days started early with skating and window shopping. The rooftop is a bar rather than a pool deck, so families wanting a swim should look elsewhere.
