Read expert review From £216per night Check availability Rates provided by Booking.com
On the southern tip of Manhattan, overlooking Battery Park and New York Harbour, with spectacular view of the Lady Liberty and Ellis Island in the bay, this is the contemporary sister to the more classical Ritz-Carlton Central Park. It’s enormous, but the park and waterfront setting give it a surprising intimacy.

Read expert review From £175per night Check availability Rates provided by Booking.com
This hip 70-room hotel, housed in a converted 1901 factory building on the Williamsburg, Brooklyn waterfront, has great views of Manhattan from the upper floors. The style is industrial meets contemporary: solid original brickwork spruced up with addition of a three-storey glass and aluminum structure, to the original rooftop and loft-size guest rooms with timber ceilings and over-sized windows. Don’t miss cocktails at sunset at sixth-floor bar and terrace, Ides.

In a city of traffic and skyscrapers, Conrad New York has enviable access to natural scenery. There’s just one road separating the hotel from a small park and the Hudson River, where ferries can take you to Ellis Island or down to the Statue of Liberty. On the other side of the hotel is Tribeca, one of the most upscale neighbourhoods in Manhattan with designer shopping and the chance to spot celebrities in their natural habitat.

Lower Manhattan is thriving — who knew Wall Street would become such a happening destination — and this chic 253-room property is leading the way. You get great views of the East River, Brooklyn Bridge and New York Harbour from the upper floors, and it is an ideal place for hanging out, whether it’s in the welcoming lobby lounge with its complimentary cookies, candy and coffee, or in spacious high-ceilinged rooms with those dramatic views.

Slightly off the beaten path, but close enough for those who want to walk to SoHo, the Village, or Tribeca. Though you will have to travel for dining and drinking, the Hudson River Park that runs the length of the Westside Highway is great for jogging, walking, or cycling, and you are close to ferry access to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty.
