If you’re dreaming of a glamorous escape to the Big Apple, I’ve got you covered. Over the years, I’ve stayed at some incredible places in NYC, and these luxury hotels always stand out. Whether you want rooftop views, iconic service, or suites that feel like movie sets, I think you’ll love these picks. I always say—when you're in a city this dazzling, you deserve a stay to match.

Highlights:

  • The Plaza Hotel – I still remember my first stay here. It’s a timeless Fifth Avenue landmark with opulent suites, classic afternoon tea, and those dreamy Central Park views you’ll never forget.
  • The St. Regis New York – If you want old-school glamour, I’d point you here. You’ll get butler service, elegant rooms, and the iconic King Cole Bar—I loved sipping a cocktail where history was made.
  • The Greenwich Hotel – I found peace in the heart of Tribeca at this chic hideaway. You’ll feel the rustic charm, enjoy a Japanese-inspired spa, and sleep in art-filled rooms that feel incredibly cozy.
  • HGU New York Hotel – I’ve recommended this Beaux-Arts beauty to friends who want great style and a great location—it never disappoints.
  • The Langham, New York, Fifth Avenue – When I want extra space and serious elegance, I head here. You’ll find Michelin-star dining, skyline views, and suites that feel more like penthouses.
