New York, United States View on map
8.1 Very Good Based on 2584 reviews
Editor's Pick

"Art Deco detailing and vintage New Yorker covers define this former hotel. Custom furnishings fit tight spaces, while a rooftop bar overlooks the neighborhood. Best for Manhattan explorers, less so for anyone needing reliable elevators."
