Located in the heart of Midtown East, Pod 39 offers a fun, modern, and budget-friendly take on the classic New York City stay. Just steps from Grand Central Terminal, Bryant Park, and the Empire State Building, this boutique hotel combines sleek design with smart use of space to deliver everything travelers need — and nothing they don’t. Whether you’re exploring Manhattan solo, traveling with friends, or planning a quick business trip, Pod 39 is designed for efficiency, style, and connection.


Housed in a restored 1918 brick building, the hotel blends vintage character with youthful energy. Guests can enjoy skyline views from the lively Arthur & Sons Rooftop Bar, dine on Mexican-inspired fare at the on-site Arthur & Sons Restaurant, or unwind in the colorful communal lounge and game room. With multilingual staff, pet-friendly rooms, and a location that makes walking to Times Square or Fifth Avenue effortless, Pod 39 stands out as one of NYC’s best-value boutique hotels — playful, social, and undeniably urban.
