Travelers visiting NYC who want a panoramic view of the Manhattan skyline will be impressed with their options along the Hudson River in New Jersey. There are seven hotels that offer inspiring views of the Big Apple and are within a quick walk to train transportation to New Jersey via the PATH subway system. Expect to spend about 20 minutes commuting to Manhattan, or the Financial District via the PATH. Ferries are also available to cross the Hudson, and this can be a cool way to see NYC, but beware of restricted ferry schedules that favor commuters.

The W – #1 NJ Hotel With Skyline View of NYC

The W is the best choice for a luxury minded hotel in New Jersey with a view of Manhattan. Guests looking into the W for its views need to keep in mind that only rooms above the cozy and wonderful status offer views of Manhattan. In other words, standard rooms typically face away from Manhattan. The W’s Lulu bar offers up a view of Manhattan from behind the bar. The W also sits in front of Pier C that connects with the Hudson river walk. Unfortunately the W is expensive for most budgets. Parking is over $35 per day and wifi is not free. The W receives an edge over nearby competitors for its location in Hoboken. Hoboken will offer the best neighborhood amongst other alternatives locations.
