Also on the Upper East Side is the Carlyle, the spot for a classic New York City experience.  Since it opened its doors in 1930 the Carlyle has been much more than just a hotel; it is truly one of Manhattan’s most iconic landmarks. Almost all of the hotel’s 192 rooms have been recently renovated so you’re sure to sleep in style but you aren’t here for the bedrooms: don’t miss a martini in the iconic Bemelmans Bar. As you sip, enjoy the illustrations by Ludwig Bemelmans, the people watching and the live music… oh if these walls could talk!

A stone’s throw from Central Park, The Mark is as elegant and chic as it gets.  Occupying a block between Fifth and Madison avenues, the hotel is perfectly positioned to discover all the Upper East Side has to offer. With art deco inspired interiors by Jacques Grange, a restaurant helmed by Jean-Georges Vongerichten, and its own outpost of the Parisian favorite, Caviar Kaspia, there is no lack of sophistication here.  Don’t miss a nightcap in the Mark Bar for a true taste of New York nightlife.

Walking into the dimly lit lobby and living room of The Bowery with its velvet arm chairs and purposely threadbare carpets feels like stepping back in time into downtown Manhattan at its heyday. And though the lobby and bar have a perfectly cultivated cool, dark vibe, the rooms on the higher levels are bright and airy with floor to ceiling windows, luxuriously comfy beds and sleek tiled bathrooms.  Their in house restaurant, Gemma, has the best lineup of Italian comfort food and is an ideal spot for a candlelit dinner after a day exploring.

A relative newcomer on the scene, Nine Orchard in the Lower East Side opened its doors in 2022 after a meticulous restoration project of a century-old bank.  Incorporating historically accurate millwork and original cornice moldings, this building is truly a landmark restored to former glory and brings just the right level of sophistication to an otherwise too-cool-for-school neighborhood. With 116 rooms, a stellar restaurant and an in-house DJ, this hotel is the downtown spot of the moment for locals and visitors alike.

The Battery Maritime Building is a building that many New Yorkers will know on sight but had never stepped foot in; until now.  Reimagined as Casa Cipriani New York, a hotel and member’s club from the classic Italian Cipriani empire, you know this is going to be a lesson in luxury. The forty-seven suites were designed by Theirry Despont and feature cashmere covered walls by Loro Piana Interiors, the sheets are from the finest luxury linen house in Italy and the river facing rooms have their own private terraces complete with Statue of Liberty views.  With a Cipriani restaurant, a jazz cafe and an art deco bar, guests could spend their entire stay inside the hotel and not tire of the spectacle or people watching!
