About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of Murray Hill at 139 East 33rd Street, this fully covered, multi-level parking garage offers safe, secure, and sheltered vehicle parking in Midtown East Manhattan. Formerly operated under the Central Parking brand and integrated into the SP+ (SP Plus) network, the facility features an attended valet format designed to maximize convenience and vehicle care. Maneuvering through busy New York streets can be challenging, but drivers can drop off their keys with the on-duty attendants right at the entrance. The facility accommodates standard compacts, sedans, and mid-size crossovers with ease. Full-size SUVs, minivans, and passenger trucks are also accepted, though standard New York oversized vehicle surcharges apply upon entry. Drivers of high-profile commercial vans or vehicles fitted with roof carriers should note the standard indoor clearance height of approximately 6 feet 6 inches (1.98 m).

Visitor & Driver Tips

East 33rd Street is an active city corridor; stay alert as you cross Lexington Avenue to prepare for a prompt turn into the garage entrance on your left. If traveling during morning or evening rush hours, build in an extra 10 to 15 minutes for car check-in or vehicle retrieval. Oversize vehicle rates apply to larger SUVs and pickups, so drivers should confirm these fees at intake. To guarantee your parking space and secure the best discounted rates, consider reserving in advance through parking aggregator apps prior to entering the city.
