We’ve rounded up five of our favorite New York hotels, each considered to be nothing less than a local city landmark.
The Waldorf Astoria
Located in mid-town Manhattan, The Waldorf Astoria is as opulent as it is steeped in tradition. The 42-story Art Deco hotel has been world renowned for more than a century, drawing the likes of royal dignitaries since 1893. The Waldorf Astoria and the adjoining Waldorf Towers feature 1,416 guestrooms and suites, each boasting original Art Deco motifs. Hotel amenities include a diverse selection of dining options, a world-class Guerlain Spa, salon, and fitness center, as well as one of the area’s most comprehensive concierge teams. In fact, rumor has it, that the Waldorf Astoria was the first hotel in the world to offer room service.
Mandarin Oriental Hotel, NYC
Rising 54 stories high above Manhattan, the Mandarin Oriental achieves the perfect balance of both modern and oriental design elements. Each of the 248 guestrooms and suites offer sweeping panoramas of the city, including breathtaking views of the neighboring Central Park, the Hudson River and the Manhattan skyline.
