Where We’re Staying in the City |  | | The Fifth Avenue Hotel | | New York, NY | | Finding a stay in Manhattan is all about location, location, location—and this five-star hotel delivers on both setting and style. The Fifth Avenue Hotel is, as the name suggests, on the corner of Fifth Avenue and 28th Street in New York’s trendy NoMad neighborhood. The area is ideal for those looking to experience the excitement of the city without being right in the middle of the bustle. The vibrant energy of Koreatown is a short walk uptown, while the hotel’s surrounding blocks lean more refined, dotted with scene-y cocktail lounges, top-rated restaurants, and prime people-watching in Madison Square Park. The hotel itself is both an ode to the city’s rich history and a buzzy spot in its own right. The main building is housed in what was once a Gilded Age mansion, now home to a renowned restaurant from James Beard Award-winning chef Andrew Carmellini and the moody, wood-paneled Portrait Bar—both drawing in the city’s modern muses. | | | | |  | | Virgin Hotels New York | | New York, NY | | Proudly standing just off Broadway in NYC’s buzzy NoMad district, Virgin Hotels New York is the coolest place to stay in the Big Apple. Voted the #1 hotel in New York City by Travel + Leisure, it’s safe to say that this place has more than a little magic, captivating the heart (and winning the vote!) of thousands of travelers. It’s easy to see why—the hotel embodies the vibrant energy of the city itself. Guest rooms, or chambers, pair impressive city views with residential-style comforts, a fourth-floor pool deck lets you swim in the shadow of the Empire State Building, and onsite restaurant Everdene is a lively, multi-space hub for dining, drinking, and dancing. Start your morning off right with a fitness class at the fifth-floor studio and a hearty breakfast at Everdene before heading out into the city. With five subway lines within walking distance, the hotel is an ideal starting point for wherever your day takes you. In the evening, unwind with a restorative massage at the onsite spa or enjoy live music and handcrafted cocktails with stunning views on the rooftop terrace. | | | | | | Park Central New York | | New York, NY | | If you’re planning a trip around what—and where—you’ll eat, it’s hard to beat New York, where Michelin-starred fine dining, viral street snacks, and beloved no-frills institutions come together in a true foodie’s paradise. While your list of must-book reservations (and pesky walk-in only places) may be fully fleshed out, if you’re wondering where to stay, look no further than Park Central New York. The hotel has an ideal location on 7th Avenue just south of Central Park, removed from Times Square's 24/7 bustle, but still only blocks away from Midtown’s must-hit spots. With Carnegie Hall and the MoMA just steps away, there’s no shortage of culture, and nearby subways make it easy to hit downtown hotspots. No matter where your day takes you, start it off right with grab-and-go options from Central Market at the hotel, and end it with a nightcap or a light bite in the swanky lounge just off the lobby, Twenty-Sevens. | | | | | | Millennium Premier | | New York, NY | | For those looking to truly immerse themselves in the energy of the Big Apple, few places put you closer to the action than Millennium Premier.

With only a few rooms per floor, it offers a peaceful place to rest your head, along with a complimentary breakfast ideal for fueling up for wherever the day takes you. Catch a Broadway show, enjoy a quiet moment in Bryant Park, or stroll to Fifth Avenue for shopping and Central Park for fresh air. The 42nd St–Times Square subway stop—just two minutes from the hotel—connects you to 12 subway lines, so the whole city is within easy reach. After a day in the city that never sleeps, you’ll appreciate having a restful place that actually does. | | | | | | The Knickerbocker | | New York, NY | | Standing tall in Times Square, The Knickerbocker merges historic charm and modern top-end luxury. A beaux-arts façade and mansard roof contrast the surrounding lights and hyper-modern architecture of Times Square, while the interior is delightfully minimalist and modern. Retreat to your slice of serenity in the hotel's soundproofed, spacious rooms, which feature bespoke decor and Diptyque bath products. Indulge in a menu full of market-driven ingredients hand-selected by master chef Charlie Palmer at his eponymous restaurant Charlie Palmer Steak IV, or grab a cocktail at the beloved rooftop bar, St. Cloud, and marvel at the striking view of the city. | | | | | | |
