Navigating the Subway from the Martinique Hotel
​
While visiting Manhattan, you’ll find that the Martinique Hotel is centrally located—making it an ideal starting point for getting around the city via subway.
When using the subway, here are a few key tips to keep in mind:
Train Types:

Local trains stop at every station along the route.

Express trains make fewer stops and will get you to your destination faster.
