The 214-room Langham Place Fifth Avenue is a modern, luxurious hotel conveniently located close to the popular tourist sites and corporate offices of Midtown Manhattan. Le camere sono grandi e dotate di caratteristiche di alto livello (Wi-Fi gratuita, dock per iPod, biancheria di pregio e articoli da toiletta), ma i decori sono piatti e senza carattere. Per un design più appariscente, considerate il vicino Chatwal oppure gli hotel (leggermente meno lussuosi) Andaz

Il Plaza, edificio centenario da 282 stanze, è un simbolo di New York Un restauro da 400 milioni di dollari nel 2008 ha aggiunto alle enormi stanze delle rifiniture nei bagni placcate in oro, ma ha anche convertito la maggior parte delle stanze con vista sul Central Park in residence privati. E ancora l'eccezionale centro ricreativo ed il servizio di camerieri 24 ore rende attraente la spesa.

The Waldorf Towers occupies the top floors of the iconic Waldorf Astoria hotel in Midtown East. It is an exclusive boutique with 117 classic, individually decorated rooms, some of which have a rich history of famous guests and long-term residents. Most amenities are shared with its sister property -- including the great (but pricey) restaurants, high-end Guerlain Spa, and beauty salon -- but the hotel has its own lobby, fitness center, elevators, and concierges. Some rooms have underwhelming decor for the price, but for a more personalized stay with a little more luxury than at the Waldorf Astoria, the Towers is still a great pick.

The grand, century-old St. Regis is known for its extraordinary service -- rivaled only by that of the Plaza -- but the hotel has many other outstanding features, including 229 elegant rooms with great amenities; a world-class spa, and a great location on Fifth Avenue. While it lacks the pool and Central Park views of the Mandarin Oriental, a famed Bloody Mary at the King Cole Bar more than compensates.

Disegnato apposta per i viaggi di lavoro, il Four Seasons, che si trova nella Midtown East, possiede 368 stanze e tutte le caratteristiche essenziali del lusso: una lobby molto stilosa, un servizio sempre a disposizione, una spa di qualità ed un centro fitness e stanze fra le più spaziose della città. Inoltre, i clienti possono usare la spa gratuitamente. Ma, prima di prenotare, controlla i prezzi al Waldorf-Astoria (più storico) o al Mandarin Oriental (la palestra è migliore)

One of New York's most visually stunning hotels, the 899-room New York Palace has a gilded, grandiose style that is a little gaudy but still fabulous enough to blow away the boutiques. Dotato di 899 stanze, è un'eccellente e moderna alternativa (e meno pretenziosa) al vicino hotel che si trova nella Midtown East, il famoso Waldorf-Astoria. Huge rooms, a luxe spa, and a fantastic gym make the Palace a great value among luxury hotels.

The Lowell is a high-end boutique known for its top-notch service and gorgeous individually decorated rooms. It is located in the tony Upper East Side, a block from Central Park, and a short walk from designer boutiques along Madison and Fifth avenues. Its 72 rooms and suites have elegant, stylish decor and great amenities, including Bulgari toiletries, flat-screen TVs with movies on demand, and free Wi-Fi. Most units also have wood-burning fireplaces, full kitchens, and terraces. The two solid on-site restaurants and the fitness center are all perks, but the hotel does not offer spa services.

Il Peninsula da 239 stanze ha piccoli televisori nelle stanze standard,ma la piscina interna, la superba palestra (attrezzature gratuite, té organici, una saune e una stanza per il bagno di vapore), le largamente complimentate terme e salone di bellezza, e fax in stanza lo rendono una buona scelta per un tranquillo, classicamente lussuoso hotel. E per lo shopping di alta classe, stare sulla 5th Avenue è una posizione ideale.

The Gotham, one of Manhattan’s skinniest hotels, opened its doors in 2009 in the same spot that was once endearingly known as the Gotham Book Mart. The 66-room boutique pays homage to its former tenant through the name, of course, but also through the sophisticated bookish decor. The cheerful lobby has a welcoming feel -- even more so when guests are offered a glass of wine from one of the trendily dressed staff members (no uniforms here). With the cozy Tenpenny restaurant and bar in the rear, Gotham attracts regular corporate types for the ultra-cool, modern rooms. Every room comes with a balcony or patio, and guests enjoy free Wi-Fi and use of the neighborhood sports club.

Located farther from the subway stations than most Midtown East hotels, the Wyndham's neighborhood isn't exactly fashionable (it's dominated by offices and residential buildings), but it's a smart, stylish option with an intimate, low-key vibe, a great gym, luxurious in-room amenities, a friendly staff, and easy access to Midtown's corporate centers.
