Hotels Near Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) in Manhattan (2027 Guide)

Last updated: October 19, 2026 · By Ronen, Stay Near The Venue

Treatment at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center usually centers on the Upper East Side, where Memorial Hospital (1275 York Avenue) and several outpatient buildings sit within a few blocks. Manhattan hotels are expensive, but MSK has arranged discounts and waived fees at a number of nearby hotels – so it pays to know the codes before you book.

Quick answer: the Helmsley Medical Tower at 1320 York Ave is about a block from Memorial Hospital and offers kitchen suites for hospital patients and families. For appointments at the Rockefeller Outpatient Pavilion, stay in Midtown East, where several MSK-discount hotels are close by.

How we checked this guide

The “Last updated” date at the top of this page is when we last reviewed it end to end.

• Parking rates, shuttle fees and transport times are taken from the port’s, venue’s or operator’s own published pages and from each hotel’s own website — not from aggregator sites.
• Distances and journey times are the figures the venue or transit operator publishes, not our estimates. Where we give a distance, we say what it is measured to.
• Hotel amenities (breakfast, shuttle hours, pet and parking policies) come from each hotel’s own site. These change more often than anything else here, so confirm them when you book.
• Room rates are deliberately not listed anywhere on this site. They move daily, and a price written one month is wrong the next. Our links take you to live pricing instead.
• We have not stayed at every hotel we write about. Where we contacted a property directly, the guide says so and gives the date. Where a figure comes from a third-party report rather than an official source, we say that too.
