- New York, United States
With cathedral-high ceilings, suits of armour lining the hallways, artwork on every wall, and a jaw-dropping entrance hall housed within a historic former armory, this eccentric, spotlessly kept castle hotel delivers a theatrical sense of occasion that goes well beyond a mere place to sleep.
- New York, United States
Tucked into two connected Gramercy brownstones, this nine-room inn charms with old-world décor, real metal house keys, beautiful linens, a tea room, and staff warm enough to welcome guests arriving at two in the morning, though a handful of recent visitors note it would benefit from some careful renovation to restore it fully to its former glory.
- New York, USA
The Sherry-Netherland achieves a distinctive warmth through its old-world service rituals, bellmen in elevators, staff who learn guests' preferences, impeccably timed housekeeping, combined with spacious residential-feeling rooms and a hushed, timeless atmosphere that feels more like a refined private refuge than a corporate hotel, though its ultra-luxury formality keeps it from the deepest cosiness.
- New York, USA
A handsome Art Deco building in the heart of NoMad, The Evelyn wins consistent praise for its stylish, period-faithful interiors, generously sized and well-appointed rooms complete with a Marshall Stanmore Bluetooth speaker, and a warmly attentive front desk team, Dipak, Amal, Arielle, and Dinet among them, whose seamless, detail-oriented service elevates what is already a beautifully kept and enviably located stay.
- New York, USA
A peaceful retreat from the Times Square tumult just steps away, the Casablanca charms with its all-day lounge on the second floor, coffee, tea, and snacks always on hand, attentive staff who will wait outside with you until your taxi arrives, and a quietly old-world atmosphere of dark wood and orientally styled breakfast rooms that suits theatregoers perfectly, even if the rooms run small and the décor is decidedly well-worn.
- New York, USA
From its wood-panelled lobby and curved Beaux-Arts archways, dimly lit in exactly the right way, to the pillow-top beds, clawfoot tubs sitting open in the grander rooms, Italian breakfasts at Cecconi's, and a rooftop bar with Manhattan views, The Ned NoMad offers considerable atmospheric richness, though a handful of guests found the service ranged from warmly professional to noticeably cool.
- New York, United States
Wildly eccentric rather than polished, the Carlton Arms charms with its room-by-room artwork covering every surface, a resident cat named Ned roaming the corridors, friendly and attentive staff, and a brilliantly central Manhattan location, though travellers should arrive prepared for narrow staircases, no lift, and decidedly no-frills amenities.
