Everything you’d expect of a grand New York hotel, and more, with a gleaming entrance that beckons you into this beacon of sophistication and haven of serenity in one of the world’s most dizzyingly enticing cities.

Sixty seconds. That’s all the time it takes to fill the bathtub – and it’s by no means small! But such quiet efficiency and attention-to-detail is typical at this Art Deco-style, honey-coloured edifice – a refuge of elegant tranquillity and, hands down, one of the classiest hotels in town. ​The top-notch staff have a real 'can-do' attitude (especially the concierge, who can sort out anything!), which is one reason why everyone who's anyone has stayed here. It's über-luxurious, yet surprisingly unpretentious. Our favourite bits? Seeing Manhattan from your bed (it's the city's tallest hotel), and the hotel bar's martinis – some of the best in New York City!
