"Perched near Columbus Circle, this sky-high hotel offers sweeping views of Central Park, the Hudson, and the Manhattan skyline across more than 240 rooms and suites that pair luxury amenities (Diptyque bath products, cherry wood furnishings) with practical comforts like walk-in showers. A 14,500-square-foot spa includes a tea lounge and specialized treatments from Jet Lag Cure to Thai Foot Therapy, while a dramatic lounge serves all-day American fare focused on sustainable local ingredients and hand-crafted cocktails ideal for evening park vistas." - Jennifer Flowers
