1

The St. Regis New York

Midtown East, New York City, New York, United States

With butlers on call 24-hours, ever ready to draw guests a bath from the hotel’s signature bath menu, a top restaurant from renowned French-born chef Alain Ducasse on site, chandeliered guest rooms, a 5th Avenue location (the better for shopping), and a stunning Beaux Arts lobby, the St. Regis is a classic luxury pick.

Lotte New York Palace

Midtown East, New York City, New York, United States

One of New York's most visually stunning hotels, the gilded, grandiose New York Palace is lavishly decorated with gold flourishes, marble, and chandeliers. The Palace was originally constructed as a private mansion in 1882, and its famous facade twinkles among a sea of midtown skyscrapers.

Four Seasons Hotel New York

Midtown East, New York City, New York, United States

Legendary architect I.M. Pei designed the public areas to adhere to a rigorous symmetry. But the enormous rooms value comfort and convenience over adventurous style, making the Four Seasons a premier choice among high-profile business travelers.

Waldorf Astoria New York

Midtown East, New York City, New York, United States

The chandeliered, Art Deco lobby has a historic charm -- and a strict dress code. Allegedly the first hotel in the world to offer room service, the Waldorf still impresses with its antique decor and bustling but reserved vibe. It's not for everyone, but few hotels anywhere can match the Waldorf's cinematic history and elegance. Every president since FDR has stayed in the presidential suite.
