Kosher hotels in New York - recommended hotels for kosher and Shabbat observant in New York, close to kosher restaurants and synagogues

Those looking for a kosher hotel in New York will find it mostly in Brooklyn. The Brooklyn borough is home to New York’s Jewish community, which is one of the largest in the world.

Central New York also has an active Jewish community, synagogues, kosher restaurants and Chabad houses. You can find hotels in Manhattan that not kosher, but definitely suitable for Shabbat and kosher observers in terms of proximity to kosher restaurants and synagogues.

Manhattan has countless accommodation options, but there is no kosher hotel in New York in the Manhattan area. Because of this, I recommend staying for the week in Manhattan – close to all the attractions. And on Shabbat stay at a kosher hotel in Brooklyn, which is more suitable for Shabbat observants. Brooklyn offers a huge variety of food ready for Shabbat, synagogues and also strictly kosher hotels.

For those who prefer to stay in the center of New York on Shabbat, I suggest staying in one of the hotels recommended below, which are suitable for Shabbat observant and are close to synagogues or Chabad of Midtown Manhattan.

Kosher Hotels in New York - Strictly Kosher Hotels in Brooklyn

    A kosher hotel in New York in the Borough Park neighborhood. A simple and good place owned by a Jew, in a great location close to a subway station. The hotel staff is courteous and helps with any problem and request.

    We stayed at this hotel ourselves on a trip to New York, so it is recommended from personal experience.

    Tip: It is recommended to order from the renovated rooms on the upper floors of the hotel. We stayed in a renovated and cozy room on the fourth floor. You should also ask for a room that does not face the street when booking.
