43 Best Hotels in New York City

"Old World meets New York at this downtown hotel, complete with views of the Brooklyn Bridge, East River, and New York City skyline. The overall look here is contemporary elegance, and you’ll find plenty of it in the 66 well-sized rooms (with details like marble bathrooms, soft natural light, and plush textures). For some private outdoor space, book one of the Premier Seaport King Terrace or Premier Front Street King Terrace rooms, which are located on the sixth and seventh floors and have furnished verandas. The hotel is also home to recently opened Urban Cove Society & Kitchen, which faces the cobblestone-lined Peck Slip and offers a casual yet refined dining room, bar, and outdoor seasonal patio. Visit for dinner or weekend brunch for modern American cuisine with global twists, paying homage to the rich tapestry of cultures of downtown New York." - John Wogan, Nicole Schnitzler, CNT Editors, Sandra Ramani
