Hersha Hospitality Mid-Atlantic Hotels

30 Rockefeller Plaza is an Art Deco skyscraper in the middle of Rockefeller Plaza in Manhattan. At 850 feet (260 m) high, the 70-story building is the 14th tallest in New York City and is a great place for capturing views at sunset (especially because it offers views of the Empire State Building).

To get this shot, head to the top of Rockefeller Center, known as "Top of the Rock." The entrance is on W 50th St between 5th and 6th Avenues. Tickets can be purchased on the basement level of building. Be sure to purchase your tickets in advance in order to make your way to the top by sunset (the entry system is timed). Also allot time for a security screening and wait times at the elevator.

Once you arrive at the observation deck take the escalator to the upper levels where your views won't be impeded by the glass windscreens. Tripods are not allowed (although monopods are allowed), but you can rest your camera on the stone barriers of the upper observation deck. Additionally you can use a table-top tripod for stability.

Top Mid-Atlantic Hotel Reviews

Hotel Edison Times Square

10/10 Excellent

"Cleanliness was impeccable, and the staff were courteous and attentive. The location was conveniently close to Times Square. I would definitely recommend booking here again."

Pod Times Square

10/10 Excellent

"The room was spotless and the staff friendly. My other comments are that I really like the minimalist vibe. It’s very sustainable. However, you don’t provide a way for visitors to recycle or compost, which I think a lot of them would want to do. Other suggestions: have milk available for people to put in coffee. I was a little alarmed that the room had a window that opened completely to the outside far above ground. I would have liked another blanket, a regular outlet over the desk, a notice to hang on the door to let the staff know that they don’t have to clean or change towels, and more places to hang wet towels. I liked the bar and breakfast and access to free tours. Great location and interesting clientele! Thanks much. Love that check out was at noon. Darcy DuMont"
