New York City Hotels for a Magical Holiday Stay
Ace Hotel Brooklyn Brooklyn, NY
Ace Hotel Brooklyn is more than just a place to rest your head; it's a cultural hub at the intersection of everything the borough has to offer. The Roman and Williams interiors are a blend of poured concrete and warm, earthy tones, offering a grounding yet inviting atmosphere. The Lobby Bar is a cocktail aficionado's dream and routinely hosts DJs for dance parties and groups gathering for work and play. The all-day restaurant, As You Are, is helmed by star chef Camille Becerra and serves up a Brooklyn-inspired menu that's as diverse as the city itself. In trademark Ace style, the rooms are spacious and stylish, complete with custom-made furnishings and local artwork arranged under the creative direction of Niki Tsukamoto.
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 serene oasis in the heart of one of the busiest cities in the world, Aman New York offers an unforgettable experience to anyone who steps inside. Housed in what was once the first location of the famed Museum of Modern Art, it is as close as you can get to a resort-style retreat without leaving city limits. The three-floor spa provides travelers with treatments that hail from both the East and West, combining the best of both, while the top-of-the-line accommodations allow guests ample room to breathe, relax, and take it all in. The guests-only restaurants, Arva and Nama, serve up Italian and Japanese cuisines, respectively, in a setting that is never too busy or crowded. Or, if you're looking for a more casual meal, The Garden Terrace and Lounge Bar both serve food and drinks as well. Of note is also the Jazz Club, serving Aman-inspired drinks and fare to guests and non-guests alike, set against live music played by some of the best in the city.
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.
As much of a gem as its eponymous company's world-famous crystal, Baccarat Hotel offers up a similar blend of classic craftsmanship with modern flair. Everything here is unapologetically opulent, from the grand common spaces to the guest rooms that invoke private Parisian pieds-à-terre. Stressed out by the chaos on the ever-busy streets of NYC? The ultra-luxe Spa de La Mer (yes, that La Mer) is an oasis for relaxation and rejuvenation, making it a perfectly indulgent escape. Conveniently located across from the Museum of Modern Art, the Baccarat Hotel New York is the epitome of pure opulence and should be a dream stay for any discerning traveler.
