A lesser-known destination, though, is the midtown Manhattan strip once known as a Music Row, where musicians used to shop for drumsticks, guitars, and more. For years, Music Row has been deemed dead due to small-business closures, but it lives on through one institution committed to keeping the music on. The Hard Rock Hotel New York, opened in 2022, not only pays homage to what West 48th Street once was, it also offers music-loving NYC visitors a modern place to hang near the Theatre District and Radio City Music Hall. The rooms here are fit for rock stars, with Fender guitars and Crosley record players available on request. Guests are treated like celebrities, greeted with a red carpet welcome. Courtesy of Hard Rock Hotel New York The Hard Rock Hotel New York doubles as a hotel and museum. It houses a leather motorcycle jacket owned by Joey Ramone, a pair of silver patent leather boots worn by Lady Gaga, and a handwritten love letter John Lennon wrote to New York City in 1972. Meanwhile, the hotel's two story glass-enclosed Rock Star suite on the 34th floor will boast epic views and one of the city's largest hotel terraces. Unforgettable outdoor jam session, anyone?

The hotel will deliver selections from its collection directly to your room, though you likely won't be spending all that much time there. The Hard Rock Hotel New York is located just steps away from Broadway's theaters and bright lights and towering billboards of Times Square. The hotel is a short walk from Rockefeller Center, Radio City Music Hall, Central Park, and Fifth Avenue's luxury retailers. The hotel is set to open in April and includes several areas for live performances, so don't be too surprised to discover a new favorite band in its lobby. Prices start at $395 per night and reservations are being accepted now. Meena Thiruvengadam is a travel writer who loves historic plaques, wandering new streets, and walking on beaches.
