New York luxury hotels | W Union Square

New York luxury hotels | W Union Square

Located on the northeast corner of Union Square, the W Union Square is an attractive trendy hotel which would be perfect for business travelers needing to stay downtown. For tourists, the convenient Union Square subway station provides a quick 15 minute train ride to midtown. While the lead-in "Wonderful" room is small (285-320 square feet), I saw a "Spectacular" room, quite nice at 340 square feet. While not overly large, it would be great for a single traveler. I was told that Virtuoso guests in either of these room categories are upgraded if possible to a "Mega" room (355-390 square view) which has a southern exposure and looks directly out onto Union Square.

I had lunch at Olives, Todd English's restaurant offering both moderate prices and very good contemporary Mediterranean cuisine. Note: the entire hotel will undergo a rapid rolling soft goods renovation between March-July, 2009.

Definitely book through Virtuoso. Not only will you pay the Best Available Rate, Virtuoso guests receive an upgrade upon arrival if available and a daily continental breakfast for two via room service. Just contact a Virtuoso luxury travel consultant to make your reservation.

New York luxury hotels | The Plaza

New York luxury hotels | The Plaza

The Plaza is perfectly located at the southeast corner of Central Park, and its recent $400 million renovation has created a stunning five star luxury hotel in midtown Manhattan. The old 59th Street entrance is now reserved exclusively for apartment owners. Hotel guests enter on the Fifth Avenue side of the building (as do patrons of the Palm Court restaurant and the Oak Bar). The public spaces of the hotel are impressive, and the Palm Court has a beautifully reconstructed stained glass ceiling, a feature of the original property that was removed by a previous owner.

Room selection is critical at the Plaza. A room with a lot of natural light is highly desirable because the gilded furnishings look overdone in artificial light, so do work with a luxury travel consultant when booking the Plaza New York. You will want to be blocked into a room with full-length windows and a view preferably to the east (Fifth Avenue) or the north (Central Park). In the summer months — when the sun is high in the sky — courtyard view rooms have plenty of natural light.

For discounted rates and special amenities including a Full American breakfast for two in the Palm Court and a $100 F&B credit, book your room at the Plaza New York through a Virtuoso luxury travel consultant.

New York luxury hotels | The New York Palace

New York luxury hotels | The New York Palace

I knew virtually nothing about the New York Palace except that it had been recently acquired by the Dorchester Collection. During my site inspection, I was first shown a basic room in the main hotel — a 350 square feet room that feels spacious because of the wide dimensions of the room and an especially good layout. The room was quite attractive with a neutral decor — a light tannish-gold color scheme. Moderately priced, this is a good value option in midtown New York for visitors who want to be in the area of St. Patrick's Cathedral, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Rockefeller Center. Executive Lounge floors in the main hotel cost $150 extra and offer breakfast, small sandwiches at lunch, and canapes and cocktails in the evening.

But what is truly exceptional is the Tower wing (which participates in the Virtuoso program). This "hotel within a hotel" was the find of my trip. With a completely separate check-in area and concierge desk, these rooms occupy floors 41-54 of the hotel with alternating floors offering "modern" and "traditional" decor. The styling of the contemporary floors features a distinctive modern carpet design and beautiful blond zebra wood doors and trim. The traditional floors feature red carpeting and rosewood woodwork. Guests can request the styling category of their preference; I liked both. Request a west facing room for a fabulous view of St. Patrick's Cathedral. Lead-in Tower rooms are a generous 450 square feet, but because Virtuoso guests receive an exclusive upgrade at the time of booking, you will end up in a 600 square foot Junior Suite. This is a screaming value in midtown Manhattan. Just book through your Virtuoso luxury travel consultant — and also receive free daily Full American breakfasts and other amenities at absolutely no extra charge

New York luxury hotels | The Carlyle

New York luxury hotels | The Carlyle

Located in the Upper East Side at East 76th and Madison, the Carlyle, New York, is set in a residential neighborhood very convenient to such attractions as the Metropolitan Museum. This is a very attractive luxury hotel, and the newly renovated rooms come in either an ivory or a blue color scheme; I found both very appealing.

There is much variety among the rooms (and the bathrooms), and it's important to let me know your preferences when booking this hotel. Do you want a bath tub? a separate shower? a powder room in your suite? a kitchenette? Chances are, the hotel can accommodate whatever you wish — if you ask for it. For a special treat, book a tower room for incredible views of the full expanse of Central Park — or looking south down Madison Avenue.

For great discounted rates and valuable amenities, just book through a Virtuoso luxury travel consultant. You will be upgraded upon arrival (subject to availability), receive complimentary breakfasts and internet service, as well as a $50 Food & Beverage credit to be used once during your stay

New York luxury hotels | Waldorf Towers

New York luxury hotels | Waldorf Towers

My impression of the Waldorf Towers began while waiting for the Sales Manager to arrive to begin my site inspection. I watched as three generations of a family arrived at the Waldorf; I saw their two young, impeccably dressed granddaughters twirling in the marble lobby. Then a fashionably dressed mother and her three teenaged daughters walked through the hotel, leaving for a day of shopping on Madison Avenue. This as much as anything told me about the guests for whom the Waldorf Towers would be the ideal hotel for a trip to New York.

The Waldorf Towers is a small luxury hotel within the very large Waldorf Astoria located on Park Avenue. With its own private entrance on E. 50th Street, the Waldorf Towers is comprised mostly of suites — elegant, impeccably decorated accommodations with a neo-classical style that reminds one of an earlier gilded age. The suites are incredibly large with full living rooms well suited for entertaining and wonderful bedrooms. The hotel is so configured that it is easy to create anything up to a five bedroom suite. Even the yet-to-be-renovated rooms were wonderful, and the newly renovated suites are even more so. A special treat: walking down the hallways and viewing the pictures of the many celebrities who have visited this storied hotel.

Virtuoso guests receive a complimentary Continental Buffet breakfast for two daily, an upgrade on arrival subject to availability, and — new for 2009 — a $100 spa credit. Simply make your booking through a Virtuoso luxury travel consultant to receive these valuable amenities at a rate already discounted from the Best Available Rate
