Ideally situated on its own corner between two New York City landmarks -- Central Park and Lincoln Center -- the trendy Empire Hotel has reduced rates to $159 per night for midweek stays.

This special rate is valid Sunday-Thursday through June and is more than 50% off regular prices. Weekend stays are $20 more per night.

The iconic 1920s hotel reopened in the summer of 2008 after a floor-to-ceiling renovation. The lobby, with its stone floor and metal accents, echoes the architecture of 1960s-era Lincoln Center. The new Ed’s Chowder House offers seafood fare, and the rooftop bar boasts stunning Manhattan views. Guests receive 10% off services at the full-service spa.

Rooms pay tribute to Central Park with a rich earth-tone palette. Each features leather furnishings, flat-screen TVs, plush Frette linens and bathrobes, and complimentary wireless Internet.

Blackout Dates: March 18-20, 25-27, 31; April 1-2, 8-10
