LIVE FROM NEW YORK
Named a National Historic Landmark in 1987, Rockefeller Center is made up of multiple building complexes—including the original 14 office buildings constructed in the 1930s, as well as a slightly newer building across the street and four more towers built during the 1960s and 1970s. If you want to explore this historic area, staying at one of the hotels near Rockefeller Center is your best bet.
The centerpiece of the complex is the “30 Rock” building, where NBC is headquartered. The 70-floor skyscraper includes most of the network’s New York television studios—where shows like Saturday Night Live and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon are recorded. It’s also home to NBC News and MSNBC, as well as the famed Rainbow Room restaurant.
Also located in the complex is the iconic Radio City Music Hall. The 6,000-seat theater has featured legends like Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald, as well as award shows, including the Grammys and the Tonys. It’s also famous for the annual Radio City Christmas Spectacular, a musical holiday stage show that has run for more than 70 years.
If you’re headed into New York City to see some of this world-renowned entertainment, you should check out hotels in the Rockefeller Center area.
