Hotels Near 86th St Station, New York City

86th St Station sits on the 4, 5, 6, and 6X lines. Five hotels lie within a twenty-minute walk — one of them less than five minutes from the station, close enough to manage with luggage.

The 4, 5, and 6 trains all stop here, giving you fast access to the subway's Lexington Avenue spine. If you need the express, the 6X runs through as well — useful when you're moving with luggage and don't want extra stops.

Food is easy from the moment you arrive. Krispy Kreme is steps from the station, and Variety Coffee Roasters and Paris Baguette are a one-minute walk if you want something less sweet in the morning. For meals, seven restaurants sit within a five-minute radius — Shake Shack and Chick-fil-A are the quickest options, while Milano Market, Butterfield Market, and Café Sabarsky round out the short walk. That number grows to 21 within twenty minutes.

Voco The Franklin New York by IHG is a one-minute walk from the platform — about as close as a transit hotel gets. The Carlyle and The Mark are both ten minutes out, putting them in the same radius as Café Sabarsky and Butterfield Market. If you're staying at either of those and want coffee before heading to the train, the walk back takes you past most of the same options you'd pass on the way in.
