About Pod 51

We helped pioneer a new standard in budget-friendly hospitality when we opened in 2007. Today, Pod 51 continues to offer guests affordable style in New York City. Situated along a charming street away from the noise, our hotel puts you just steps from three major subway lines in Midtown East. At the end of the day, unwind with a picnic on our rooftop deck or soak in the slice of calm that is the outdoor garden, complete with seasonal menus and happy hour.
