Check the parade route (you can Google it) - there are many hotels along the route. Basically, the parade starts on the Upper West Side and moves south on Central Park West to the bottom of Central Park - then turns east and turns south on Sixth Avenue - it goes south on Sixth Avenue to the finish at Herald Square. There are several hotels along the route - I would contact the hotel directly and tell them you want a room where you can watch the parade. The room should be on a lower floor, like 2nd floor or 3rd floor. The Warwick and The Hilton on Sixth Avenue are directly on the parade route. We attend the parade, but we watch it from the street. I believe there is a good chance the parade will be cancelled in 2020 - but who knows? The decision would be made well in advance.

I would highly recommend the Kimpton Muse hotel at 130 West 46th Street, great place to stay & only about 150 metres from Times square on 7th & the parade route on 6th. We watched the parade from the corner of West 46th & 6th avenue, if you get there early about 7am you get a great view of the whole parade. Have fun
