"“It doesn’t get much cozier than a room with a view at The Ritz-Carlton New York, Central Park. This iconic property is beloved for its towering Christmas tree in the Contour Bar, and this holiday season, the hotel’s fragrance partner Diptyque takes residence with a curation of themed cocktails, a retail outpost, and even a branded cookie and hot cocoa cart in the lobby.”" - Nicole Kliest

"The top-hatted men holding the door for you are an appropriate prelude as you walk into this iconic New York building. The Central Park Ritz underwent a refresh in the first half of 2019 and the hotel has indeed transformed. New layouts for the rooms, new drinks at the bar, new art everywhere; this is not your grandfather's Ritz. Everything, from the bespoke and sometimes surprising furniture (the boring old desk chairs in the suites have been replaced with massive midcentury-style loungers) to the honor bar spotlighting small batch and local offerings, to the photos on every wall featuring images of powerful women all over Manhattan, makes the experience here current in a way that hotels in Midtown often are not. It's a gorgeous example of how old New York can be 21st century compatible." - Jessica Sulima
"A prime base for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, this Central Park–adjacent hotel lets you roll out of bed just minutes before the festivities begin and be immersed in massive balloons, dazzling floats, Broadway performances, and lively marching bands—coffee or hot chocolate in hand. With Santa’s grand arrival marking the start of the season, celebrating from here feels effortlessly magical." - Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel is a writer with more than eight years of experience editing and writing for both brands and online publications—with a particular focus on travel, fashion, and lifestyle.
