    Location 6.77 /10

    Situated on Fifth Avenue at the corner with 59th Street, the hotel is right at the southeast corner of Central Park, on the border between Midtown and Uptown. Guests will be in the heart of some of the city's best shopping and within a 20-25-minute walk of Museum Mile to the north and Times Square, the theatres and some other of the top attractions to the south. 5th Ave/59th Street subway station is just opposite the hotel meaning you can get to the rest of the island as well as to Queens quickly and efficiently with Grand Central 15 minutes away by foot too for more subway lines and regional trains. Both JFK and Newark are 19 miles away while La Guardia is 10 miles.

    Accommodation 8.70 /10

    The hotel has a total of 50 guestrooms and suites, although of course there are many more private apartments in the building occupied by their owners (at which you may well stop while riding in the elevator). While the amenities in the guestrooms and suites remain consistent, the décor can change quite drastically as each of the rooms is decorated by their owners. That said, most are fairly classically appointed with a few having been done up in a more contemporary style. Guestrooms and suites each have categories with a courtside view or a city view, the former being exceptionally quiet. The standard rooms all have king sized beds dressed in the finest white linens and with skirts and plaids which complement the other upholstery in the room, such as the curtains. Every room has a range of nicely crafted furniture including bedside tables, drawer units, buffets and occasional tables upon which you'll find an iPod docking station, telephone, antique lamps, fresh flowers and Belgian chocolates. Amenities in the room include a flatscreen television, safe, minibar (with complimentary water and soft drinks) and bathrobes. The bathrooms, some of which are on the small side, are all fitted out in marble and have great mirrors, fresh flowers, Gilchrist and Soames toiletries plus many other amenities, hairdryer and bathtub.

    The suites, again, decorated in various styles, boast separate living spaces with beautiful period furniture and antiques decorative objects, as well as fireplaces (not all suites) and modern kitchenettes. Some have an extra half bathroom. Those towards the top of the building obviously have the finest views of Central Park and the surrounding area.

    Overview 9.20 /10

    At over 170 metres in height, The Sherry nether land cannot be missed, just opposite the southeast corner of Central Park. The elegant, dark brown brick tower has several setbacks as it rises meaning that the apartments get smaller as one gets higher. The T-shaped lobby, which was modelled on the Vatican Library, has a vaulted ceiling which is now covered in white paint, but through which one can still see remnants of the original surface. The entrance also boasts friezes taken from the shipping and railroad magnate Cornelius Vanderbilt's mansion, beautiful marble work on the walls, crystal chandeliers, custom woven carpets and cushioned armchairs as well as plants, mirrors and occasional tables. Opposite the reception desk is a bank of three hand-painted lifts, each one attended to by white-gloved operators, something that only a handful of hotels in New York can now boast.

    The rest of the public areas of the hotel are as in just as pristine a condition. The corridors are wide, light and easily navigable while the room numbers are clearly indicated and never too far from the elevators. There is complimentary wifi throughout the hotel as well as a free-to-use business centre. The hotel has a modest fitness room with cardio machine, free weights and a bench but no wellness facilities. Around the hotel are several exclusive boutiques selling fashion, antiques and collectables as well as a couple of hairdressers and a snack shop.

    Food and drink 8.20 /10

    Cipriani is the hotel's bar and restaurant and is part of the empire started by Giuseppe Cipriani back in 1931 in the shape of the now legendary Harry's Bar in Venice. This New York version is an almost exact copy of that Italian landmark and serves classic Italian dishes as well as coffee and cocktails in an atmosphere which tries to emulate that of the original establishment. Bellinis play a large part in the cocktail menu while risottos, pastas and fish and meat dishes complete the modest menu. A smartly decorated eatery with crisp white tablecloths, fine china and good service, guests (who get a 20% discount) should pay a visit to the restaurant, even if it is just for a coffee, to get a feel for the place.

    To know

    One of the cities most classic hotels, the building that houses The Sherry Netherland was built in 1927 by the ice cream and confectionary magnate Louis Sherry and was at the time the world's largest apartment block. In 1954 it became a cooperative, as it remains today, however 50 of the apartments are opened up as hotel rooms and are decorated according to their owners' tastes.

      Classicism, luxury, and refinement characterise the Plaza - one of the must of the American megapolis. No doubt that even the most demanding clients find the environment, the amenities, and the equipment to be all they dream of - everything in a sumptuous decor in "French Renaissance" style.

      The Pierre has always been a landmark hotel in New York City?and we are glad to report that after its latest $100 million renovation following its takeover by Taj Hotels, it is still very much one of the hotels by which others must judge themselves. It is true to say that it may not have some of the facilities of some of the other top hotels (no spa, smaller rooms), but when it comes to service, style and sophistication, not to mention history, it is untouchable. With a location that would make most hotels weep with envy, fabulously appointed rooms with an Asian touch and a new, top quality restaurant, The Pierre is back on top of its game and ready to welcome once again all types of traveller, no matter their motive for visiting the city. All this comes, of course, at a price, but if you had to choose a place to spend your hard earned cash, this has got to be near the summit of your shortlist.

      We had high expectations before staying at Chambers and those were translated into fond memories by the time we left. Aside from the fact that it doesn't have on-site fitness or wellness facilities, this is the perfect city hotel. The rooms are spacious and uber-stylish, its Midtown location is difficult to beat and it boasts two food outlets from celebrity chef David Chang. It also has an impressive art collection which is displayed both in the property's public spaces and in the guestrooms and which comprises over 500 pieces. All the above married with some unique touches, friendly service and an inspired décor make Chambers one of our favourite Midtown bolt holes for both couples and families on leisure.

      The intention of the Four Season's Chinese-born American architect, Ieoh Ming Pei, was to create a hotel "in the grand tradition of a former time when going to a hotel was an occasion." Thanks to his ingenuity and vision those days live on in our time. A Four Seasons, wherever it may be in the world, is synonymous with quality and timeless sophistication and this spectacular New York example is no exception. It is a hotel of superlatives: the tallest New York hotel, the largest standard rooms in the city, the most expensive hotel suite in the world. Whether you are travelling as a family, couple or friends, on business or pleasure, and want to be guaranteed a flawless stay, you need look no further.

      This is a hotel of distinction in an area of distinction. A relatively small property by New York standards, it exudes European class from the front door to the fitness room and everywhere else in between. The Lowell, while boasting a rich history (and the furniture, antiques and objets d'art to go with it), has all the modern amenities you'd expect from a top class hotel. Every detail has been painstakingly considered and if you manage to find one single flaw we take our hats off to you. Couples or small families will find in The Lowell an extremely comfortable, well-located hotel with the best of services and a staff to match. A hearty thumbs up from easyvoyage.co.uk.

      Let's not mince our words; The Peninsula is quite simply one of the finest hotels in New York, even more so now it is the other side of a renovation. From the very first moment you enter the hotel you'll have no doubt about the quality of experience that awaits you. There is very little to pick holes at here where excellence comes as standard: the large rooms are finely furnished, the restaurants of the highest caliber, the spa one of the most beautiful and complete in the city and the service faultless. Like all top class hotels this all comes at a certain price, however if there was ever one hotel which could justify the cost it would be this one.

      It is difficult not to get excited about hotels such as the Ritz-Carlton New York Central Park as it encapsulates everything one would dream about New York before having visited. With a commanding position right on the city's most famous green space, its services and amenities are amongst the finest in Manhattan: generously proportioned and excellently appointed guest rooms, fine décor and furnishings throughout, a spa very much in the tradition of the hotel and a restaurant which is not, proving that despite the hotel's classic appearance, it can still keep up with modernity and the demands of its guests and neighbours. This is a hotel where quality has a price but if you're going to buy it anywhere, then consider this property before you do.

      You may be coming to the United States to see New York, but the St. Regis is a destination in itself. The most sumptuous hotel we have visited to date in the city, its beautiful Beaux-Arts interiors are a sight to behold. It's (rightly) famed for its unrivalled service and King Cole Bar (more in 'Food and Drink') as well as its beautiful, spacious and well appointed rooms, however it does lack some of the high tier amenities of its rivals, such as a swimming pool, and the views are not quite as good. That said it can boast an Alain Ducasse restaurant and original antique décor. It's true to say that some may find the hotel's opulence a little overbearing, but let's not lose sight of the fact that this is nonetheless a true masterpiece. Even if you don't have the means to stay here, come and take a look around as the property has some unique features. Couples, friends or business travellers will all find their calling at the St. Regis.

      Q. What do you get when you take $150 million and put them into the hands of one of the world's greatest architect/designers? A. The Mark. Be under no illusions, what Jacques Grange and co have conceived in the leafy surroundings of the Upper Eastside is now the yardstick against which all other hotels will now have to measure themselves. After over two years under renovation with some of the most sought after names in the creative fields working on the project, The Mark has transformed itself from a decent hotel to a hotel of superlatives. Everything is top draw from the design to the staff, from the food to the wellness centre. This all, of course, comes with the price tag that its quality demands, however rest assured that no other hotel can come close to what The Mark has to offer.

      • Location 9.22

      We're going to stick our necks out here and say that of all the hotels we have stayed at in this city, the Setai probably takes top spot. Of course there are many different types of hotel in the city and not everyone is looking for what the Setai has to offer, but as on overall experience, it can't, in our opinion, be bettered. The rooms are not only some of the biggest in the city, but they are likely to be the best appointed in terms of amenities too. The stunning, contemporary spa is as luxurious as it is spacious and in its restaurant the hotel has one of most memorable dining experiences to be had. But what impressed us most, and where the hotel rises above it competitors, is the consistent attention to detail and impeccable service the likes of which we've never seen. Although new (November 2010 opening), this is right up there with the old masters and the best thing is that it can only get better!

Generously proportioned, impressively appointed rooms are complemented by a relaxed yet top class Italian restaurant, while the spa is a sight to behold. You'll have a tough job finding a property where the service is paralleled and don't even get us started on the views! A magnificent, modern and memorable hotel, we recommend the Trump Soho to all kinds of traveller, newcomers or old hands, couples or families. A huge thumbs up.

      Although no longer associated with its Parisian namesake, the Plaza Athénée New York continues to offer one of the most refined hotel experiences in the city. Its style may not be as subtle as some of its competitors and thus some many find it a little overwhelming, but there is no getting away from the fact the hotel is a class act from top to bottom. It boasts capacious, well-appointed and recently renovated rooms (January 2010), a fine wellness centre, a celebrated restaurant and bar and an impeccable service from a smart, professional staff. If you're after that classic European opulence the other side of the Atlantic then the well-located Plaza Athénée is one to consider.
