Best Luxury Hotels in New York

The city that never sleeps is an epicentre of art, music, fashion, food and shopping. A melting pot of cultures, New York is synonymous with the concept of cosmopolitanism. Whether you fancy a $1 slice of pizza at 2 am in the morning, some gourmet street food when exploring the sights, or sustainable seafood from the latest swish restaurant opening downtown, NYC is a culinary smorgasbord. New York is designed to be explored on foot and each neighbourhood offers something completely different, take the time to explore the century-old Jewish delis of the Upper West Side and then head to the trendy bars and clubs of the Meatpacking District. It’s no wonder the city is also home to some of the hippest luxury hotels in the world. Here are just a few of our favourite luxury hotels in New York.
