Who knows the Central Park area well in NYC?

I’m going to write a fantasy story that deals with the main characters going on vacation in New York City and staying in a hotel there. Central Park is going to be one of the important scenes, and I want to know if there are hotels around there so that I can use them to be realistic.

Also, less important, but if you know some night clubs that are near Central Park that would be cool as well. I’m going to make up a nightclub for the story, but maybe I could make references to others. The ones I know are far from Central Park.
