Umbrella Hotel an Ascend Hotel Collection Member

In the South Bronx, a block-friendly base near Yankee Stadium and fast transit links — close to the Bronx Zoo, New York Botanical Garden, Bronx Little Italy, Central Park, Apollo Theater and within reach of NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia University.

A non-smoking, no-frills urban hotel with 53 air-conditioned rooms that feel clean and modern. Rooms feature pillow-top beds, flat-screen TVs, refrigerators, coffee makers and work desks, with simple bathrooms and showers.

Complimentary continental breakfast and free WiFi keep mornings and online time easy, while on-site parking (self-parking available; charges may apply) adds convenience. Expect a practical, neighborhood-focused stay with the city just outside the door.

Complimentary newspapers in the lobby, a 24-hour front desk and luggage storage streamline arrivals and short-term business needs, with free wireless internet available throughout the property.

Grab the complimentary continental breakfast each morning or order limited-hours room service; a block of local restaurants — from Bronx Little Italy spots to neighborhood diners — is right outside for more regional flavor.
