New York is certainly one of the most famous cities in the world. Countless art, music, films, and books have detailed every aspect of the city and it remains an inspiration to those who visit today, just as it did to all the settlers who first saw the Statue of Liberty and forged the nation. As a city whose history and culture has been shaped as the gateway to the United States, the concept of luxury hotels is as synonymous with the city as that famous statue on Ellis Island, and the hotels established within the city have defined the very ideals of hospitality, service, and luxury.
Whilst the city of Albany is the capital of New York State, New York City is certainly the largest city and indeed is the most populous city in all of North America. It is also the most culturally diverse with no less than 170 different languages spoken. This rich cultural diversity is very much a part of the fabric of the city, the city for which the term 'melting pot' was created. Perhaps for this reason, this is a friendly city welcome to all, and this charm and welcoming style is very much in evidence in the luxury hotels New York City has to offer.
The world's top city break destination, New York City for many means the borough of Manhattan, one of the world's most important cultural, financial, and commercial centers. Even New Yorkers from other boroughs consider going to Manhattan as a 'trip to the city'. Whether shopping in Bloomingdales, taking in a Broadway Show, or seeing the many sights including the Empire State Building, Times Square, Central Park, Greenwich Village, or Wall Street, the famous sights of Manhattan offer a sense of familiarity and most of the luxury hotels New York City provides are well placed for visitors to take full advantage of the attractions on offer.
While Manhattan is certainly the most popular visitor destination, it is just one of five boroughs, each with their own unique sense of identity. New York City is built on a series of islands and only one of the boroughs, The Bronx, is land connected to the United States Mainland. The others are all interconnected through a series of bridges, boats and tunnels and the famous Subway system forms an attraction in its own right. The Bronx is home to the famous Yankees, a Major League Baseball team. The old Yankee Stadium is the most famous sports venue in the United States, soon to be replaced by a new stadium close by. The original is to be turned into parkland, in common with much of the Bronx.
There are many types of luxury hotel in New York, from the splendor of some of the world's top classic hotels to the ultramodern business oriented establishments. There is of course every major hotel chain as well as some of the best boutique hotels on the planet. The concept of the boutique hotel has its roots here and remains the best place to find the individuality, character and style which defines the term. Midtown and downtown Manhattan have clusters of fine boutique hotels and the notable architecture of Brooklyn is home to many additional excellent examples.
As a world center for business and finance, New York has a great many luxury hotels designed for business travelers, all offering a range of business and networking facilities. In the city that never sleeps, business centers and services operate 24 hours and combine with leisure and recreational facilities to ensure any time spent in the city in business is both productive and enjoyable.
Whether in the city for business or pleasure, the rooms will have state of the art facilities in internet connectivity and visual and audio entertainment options. Room service, climate control, and first class concierge services are to be expected and guest rooms will be stylish, comfortable and well appointed.
Depending on the type of hotel, a range of leisure facilities will be on offer too, including, boutiques, fitness suites, a selection of bar and lounge options, and world class restaurant facilities. Regardless of the facilities, all offer a timeless space of exclusive peace and quiet, which is at the heart of all the city's most famous sights and attractions. The staff within the hotels will do everything to ensure guests make the most of their time spent in the city, whether for the best theater tickets, restaurant reservations or tourist information. The luxury hotels of NYC deliver the very best of the greatest city in the world.
