7) Whitby Hotel

The Whitby Hotel possesses the charm and style that make it a favorite amongst celebrities, jet-setters, and fashion icons. Nestled in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, the Whitby Hotel is a celebration of contemporary art and design.

8) Hôtel Barrière Fouquet’s

Located just blocks from Hudson River Park, Hôtel Barrière Fouquet’s brings Parisian charm to Tribeca, at the heart of New York City. The hotel exudes chic elegance, adorned with a pastel color palette dominated by lilac and almond green, accentuating the refined fabrics, wood paneling, and Art Deco furnishings.

Behind the glass and brick facade lies a small slice of Paris, featuring a classic brasserie, a sophisticated bar, the serene Spa Diane Barrière, a glamorous cinema, and residential-style rooms and suites, all designed by Martin Brudnizki with unmistakable French flair.

The hotel, rightfully acclaimed in New York, hosts several restaurants, all under the expertise of Michelin-starred chef Pierre Gagnaire. Don’t miss the Brasserie Fouquet’s, high-quality vegetarian cuisine at Par Ici, and the 1920s ambiance at Titsou Bar.

9) The Ned

The Ned exudes a boutique atmosphere, boundless charm, and holds many prestigious accolades. It’s essential to know that booking a room doesn’t guarantee access to some of the more exclusive spaces. The solution? Opt for the Duplex Terrace Suite, the building’s largest and most antique-rich accommodation, starting at 6,000 USD (surprisingly reasonable by this list’s standards), which provides entry to Ned’s Club Downstairs.

Membership to the Club allows guests to frequent a lounge with live music, a bar, and a library (hidden from public view by heavy curtains). Guests also receive priority seating at Cecconi's and Little Ned, the sophisticated 1920s-style speakeasy, ensuring a comprehensive experience in this luxurious New York hotel.

10) Mandarin Oriental

The Mandarin Oriental holds a well-deserved reputation for its impeccable style and detail-oriented service. The hotel features a renowned spa, a gourmet restaurant, and breathtaking views of Manhattan from every room. It’s unsurprising that a stay in this iconic Columbus Circle building comes at a substantial cost (870 USD just for entry).

Noteworthy is Suite 5000, equipped with every conceivable comfort and luxury. Positioned on the 50th floor and designed to awe, it is beautifully decorated. Among its most striking features are the hanging artistic installation by Steven Naifeh at the entrance, a sparkling Swarovski crystal wall in the dining room, and a custom bathtub in the bathroom.

11) Ritz-Carlton NoMad
