New York Hotels

The Empire State Building in central Manhattan is one of the world's most famous skyscrapers. Tourists flock here to take in the incredible views of New York, but be warned, the height and wind can make the experience pretty nerve-wracking!

The 102-storey construction, designed by Shreve, Lamb and Harmon Associates, was the world's tallest building between 1931 and 1970. The building itself rises to 1250 feet, but the broadcasting tower (added in the 1950s) extends a further 222 feet. The distinctive spire was originally conceived as a mooring point for Zepellins, but the updraft created by the building meant that it has never served this purpose.

The building is predominantly an office block and is home to several broadcasting stations. The top and bottom, however, cater to the whims of the tourist. Each year around 3.5 million people visit the observation deck on the 86th floor, which provides a magnificent view of the city.
