Five blocks from the Empire State Building, the King & Grove New York hotel places guests near the city's top sights while slashing up to $100 off its current rates.

Visit Dec. 16-25 and Jan. 2 - March 3 for $129 per night, including weekends and Christmas. Add $50 per night to stay Nov. 16-20.

Following the multimillion-dollar renovation of its neoclassical building, the hotel's rooms are now wrapped in clean mid-century lines and bright geometric patterns and have a queen bed.

Guests are a short stroll from Herald Square, Macy's and the hip Chelsea neighborhood, which is full of top restaurants and shops. Madison Square Park is three blocks away, and Union Square is a 15-minute walk south -- this season both parks will be aglow with winter craft markets and local food stalls.

Note: Rates are nonrefundable. Refundable rates are available starting at $10 more per night.
