When I think of New York, I think of great food, great shopping, great theatre and great art. I also think of great hotels, but until now the price of luxury hotels in New York has been out of sight. Things have changed, and I will mention a few places that offer both luxury and affordability.
The Alex Hotel (www.thealex.com offers luxury in midtown Manhattan. The rooms are chic and sophisticated, with flatscreen tv's in all living rooms, bedrooms, and bathrooms. The bathrooms themselves are gorgeous, with limestone counters, large rain showers, and oversized tubs. They are currently offering a weekend rate starting at $299.
The Muse Hotel (www.themusehotel.com) is located near Times Square, so it is perfect for theatre goers. It is done in a contemporary style, small, but efficient rooms, and priced at $224.
The Lowell (www.lowellhotel.com) is one of my favorites, for its personalized service and attention to detail. It is located on the upper eastside, and priced around $250.
Finally, thanks to my friend Marlene for telling me about Radio City Apartments (www.radiocityapartments.com). These are full service apartments, with 24 hour security, contemporary decor, and full kitchens. Many people stay here for extended periods, and the management offers a 20% discount on more than four days if you book directly with the hotel. The apartments are located just off Times Square, within walking distance of many attractions. The same management company manages The Cosmopolitan Hotel (www.cosmohotel.com) on 49th, between 6th and 7th. Priced in the mid $100's, these properties can't be beat. As with all travel deals that I recommend, the prices quoted were available when I checked, but cannot be guaranteed.
So save on your New York hotel, and spend your money on great food and great theatre.
