New York Hotels for a Historic Holiday
The Algonquin Hotel New York, NY
A long-standing and incredibly-classic NYC hotel with a striking aesthetic, The Algonquin Hotel has long been a favorite of those in literary circles. From 1919-1929 it played host to the Algonquin Round Table, a group of New York City-based artists and thinkers so famous that John F. Kennedy once said he grew up dreaming of being a member. Although The Round Table no longer meets, their illustrious spirit lives on in the hotel, which now offers a different sort of amenity: a hotel cat, Hamlet, named after former resident John Barrymore's most iconic role.
We're willing to bet that most young travelers to New York are looking to stay in NYC's most stylish neighborhood, and with NoMo SoHo in the area, why wouldn't you? This hidden gem offers an eclectic mix of nostalgic and modern, solidly matching the area through trendy design, with an overarching feel that lacks pretense. With incredible views of the Manhattan skyline from its rooms, the perspective is unmatched, and the hotel's artful ambiance and relaxed urban luxury are complemented by thoughtful amenities and a vibrant greenhouse. The dining venue, NoMo Kitchen, serves a seasonal American menu with global influences, and there's even a dreamy bakery pop-up going on at the ground floor. Just steps away from the excitement of New York's city streets, NoMo SoHo is the perfect destination for your next escape.
There's a reason that the Hamptons are every New Yorker's favorite getaway. This adorable, well-appointed stay rides just on the line between bed & breakfast and hotel, providing guests with a classic Hamptons experience, with delightfully decorated rooms full of personality, each inspired by a Scandanavian luminary. Frette linens adorn the beds, and Tivoli bluetooth speakers are available in each room. When it's finally time to emerge and explore, the on-site bar is a great place to make a stop, offering up wonderful cocktails guests are sure to enjoy. Just a short trek from the ocean, The Maidstone is a great place to catch some fresh air.
Amazing prices and quiet floors characterize Millennium Downtown New York, situated in the center of the Financial District. Here, guests are provided vistas of Lower Manhattan and unmatched proximity to some of the most famous attractions of New York, such as The Oculus and One World Observatory. Upon completing a day of touring, shopping, dining, and discovering the rest of the bustling metropolis, the hotel's lobby bar, Liquid Assets, serves as an ideal destination for guests to relax and enjoy a refreshing cocktail.
A seriously historic hotel in Midtown Manhattan within steps distance from some of the best NYC attractions, The Kimberly Hotel gives off a grand, European vibe from the moment you step into its beautiful marble lobby classically styled with gold furnishings and a spectacular salt water aquarium. The hotel boasts spacious suites with private balconies at surprisingly affordable prices. Head 30 stories up and you'll hit one of the best rooftop bars in the city, Upstairs, where you can take in the most stunning views of New York while you sip your cocktail.
