The Ritz-Carlton New York, Central Park
The Ritz-Carlton New York Central Park is a classic luxury hotel that sits directly across from Central Park, on Central Park South, in an area teeming with upscale restaurants and shops. The 259 guest rooms and suites are spacious and elegantly decorated, many feature views of Central Park. Some rooms come with Club Lounge access and butler service is available for a fee. Auden Bistro offers pre- and post-theater menus, and cocktails and afternoon tea can be had at the glamorous Star Lounge. There’s no pool, but La Prairie Spa and a modern fitness center offer luxe places to relax and work out. Another five-pearl option is the nearby St. Regis New York. It has a snazzier look and free butler service, but is four blocks from Central Park.
