New York metro carrier hotels

A carrier hotel is a building where many networks meet and connect to each other. In New York they are historic telecom buildings, each with several colocation operators inside, so choosing the building is only half the decision.

Choosing space in a carrier hotel

Inside one address you may find a building-run meet-me room, floors leased by large data center operators, and smaller providers reselling space. Each has its own pricing, power limits and cross-connect rules. Before you compare quotes, decide which networks you need to reach and ask each operator how you would connect to them: directly in their space, or through extra connections to another floor or another operator.

If you mainly need room and power rather than direct access to many networks, a New Jersey facility connected back to a carrier hotel is often the better fit. Our pricing guide covers the trade-offs.
