How to get to 1 Hotel Central Park from JFK, LGA and EWR
From JFK: take a taxi/ride-share (roughly 40–50 minutes depending on traffic) or use public transit (AirTrain + subway) for a longer trip. From LGA: taxi/ride-share is typically the fastest option (about 28–35 minutes depending on traffic); public transit requires a bus/shuttle connection into the subway network. From EWR: taxi/ride-share is about 40 minutes in normal traffic; public transit (AirTrain + NJ Transit + subway/transfer) takes longer. All routes end at 1 Hotel Central Park, 1414 Avenue of the Americas (6th Ave) at 58th Street, steps from Central Park South.
In this guide
Arriving from JFK (John F. Kennedy International Airport)
By taxi or ride-share: the straightforward option is a direct taxi or ride-share from the terminals to 1 Hotel Central Park. Travel time under normal traffic is often around 40–50 minutes; allow more time during peak hours.
By public transit: public-transit trips from JFK typically use the AirTrain to Jamaica Station, then subway into Midtown Manhattan. The transit route is longer than a taxi but avoids traffic and can be more predictable during rush periods.
- Taxi / ride-share: curb-to-curb service to 1414 Avenue of the Americas
- Public transit: AirTrain JFK → Jamaica (or Howard Beach) → subway into Midtown
- Private car/limo: available for surcharge; BookResorts agents can assist with 24/7 bookings (+1 (888) 605-1350)
| Option | Typical time |
|---|---|
| Taxi / Ride-share | About 40–50 minutes (varies by traffic) |
| Public transit (AirTrain + subway) | Longer than taxi; allow 50–75+ minutes |
Arriving from LGA (LaGuardia Airport)
By taxi or ride-share: LaGuardia is the closest major airport by road; a taxi or ride-share usually takes about 28–35 minutes in normal traffic. Times rise during peak travel hours and bad weather.
By public transit: LGA does not have a direct subway connection. Travelers typically use an airport shuttle or bus to connect to a subway or to an LIRR/NJ Transit connection; this makes public transit trips longer and a bit more complex than JFK or EWR options.
- Taxi / Ride-share: simplest curb-to-curb option to the hotel
- Shuttle / bus + subway: can be cheaper but requires one or more transfers
- Private car: limo/town-car services are offered by the hotel for a surcharge; BookResorts can arrange transfers
| Option | Typical time |
|---|---|
| Taxi / Ride-share | About 28–35 minutes (varies by traffic) |
| Shuttle / Bus + Subway | Longer than taxi; variable depending on connections |
Arriving from EWR (Newark Liberty International Airport)
By taxi or ride-share: a direct taxi or ride-share to 1 Hotel Central Park usually takes about 40 minutes in normal traffic. Allow extra time if traveling during peak hours or during airport delays.
By public transit: public transit routes typically use AirTrain Newark to Newark Liberty station, then NJ Transit into Penn Station and a subway or short walk to the hotel. Expect the public-transit option to be longer than a taxi ride.
- Taxi / Ride-share: direct and convenient; travel time depends on bridge/tunnel traffic
- Public transit: AirTrain Newark → NJ Transit to Manhattan → subway or walk to Midtown
- BookResorts can help arrange private transfer options via the hotel's concierge or limo services
| Option | Typical time |
|---|---|
| Taxi / Ride-share | About 40 minutes (varies by traffic) |
| Public transit (AirTrain + NJ Transit + subway) | Longer than taxi; often 60–90+ minutes depending on connections |

Practical tips for your airport transfer
Traffic and weather can change travel times substantially. If you have a tight schedule (flight connections, shows, meetings), allow generous buffer time for ground transfers and consider a private car if time-critical.
If you want help arranging transfers before you travel, BookResorts agents are available 24/7 at +1 (888) 605-1350 to assist with limo or town-car reservations and to confirm hotel arrival procedures.
- For quicker arrivals during peak traffic, consider public transit from JFK/EWR (AirTrain + rail/subway) to avoid congestion — but expect longer door-to-door time.
- At LGA, plan for a shuttle or bus connection to the subway system unless you prefer a taxi/ride-share.
- Confirm the hotel’s minimum check-in age and payment requirements: guests must present photo ID and the credit card used for booking (hotel requires a matching name)
