"If you’re looking to hit the New York classics—Central Park, MoMA, Carnegie Hall, Wollman Ice Rink—and discover a few new favorites of your own, look no further than Thompson Central Park. A few blocks down from the park’s south entrance, Thompson is a classy midcentury modern hotel with touches of cool wood, sculptural lighting, and brassy finishes on bedframes and shelves that tie its sophisticated look together. Accommodations in the upper stories offer an even more deluxe experience with a ritzy private cocktail lounge and preferred access to on-site entertainment, wellness routines, and shopping in the area. Burger Joint, a once-secret hole-in-the-wall known for some of the best burgers in the city, and Indian Accent, an upscale take on traditional Indian recipes, add to Thompson’s considerable dining portfolio, but the hotel’s prime location in Midtown also means bucket list eats like Kwame Onwuachi’s Tatiana and seafood standout Marea are at your fingertips." - CNT Editors
