3. The Peninsula New York
Midtown Manhattan’s golden Peninsula calls itself a «cocoon of peace and quiet» amid the fray on Fifth Avenue. And recent travelers agree, though they contend that it’s an expensive cocoon. Highlights include free internet access, the rooftop terrace Salon de Ning (which offers stunning city views), and a highly acclaimed spa and health club. But that’s not all this ultra-luxurious hotel has going for it. Previous visitors cited the top-notch service, spectacular vistas and enviable location (just steps away from Central Park and Rockefeller Center) as equally compelling reasons to return. Others described the property as elegant and serene, praising the hotel’s calming color palette and extra touches found in each of the accommodations, such as stocked minibars, marble baths, cozy robes and slippers, and sleek flat-screen TVs. Recent visitors also raved about the delectable dishes and sophisticated atmosphere offered at the hotel’s dining establishments, the Clement Restaurant and the Gotham Lounge.
4. Park Hyatt New York
Dogs are welcome at the Park Hyatt. Upon arrival, the hotel will provide a bed, dog bowl and treats for your four-legged friend. Guests are required to pay a $100 fee per stay up to six nights and an extra $100 for seven to 30 nights.
