Postcards from... Booklet 2022

Take in views of the skyline and Hudson Square from one of the 391 rooms in this contemporary downtown hotel in the heart of SoHo. And the higher up you go, the better it gets: the penthouse rooms on the 42nd to 44th floors feature picture windows that boast unobstructed views of some of the city’s most iconic buildings (including the Empire State Building and One World Trade Centre). Establishing a new paradigm of design, The Dominick couples the works of Handel Architects, who imagined the 46-storey shimmering glass tower, and the Rockwell Group, creators of the interior spaces. The Pick of New York Hotels Highly recommended luxury hotels with very different appeal in prime locations 246, Spring Street Contemporary Downtown 50, Central Park South Classic Parkside Residence The Ritz-Carlton New York, Central Park welcomes guests with a luxurious, but warm atmosphere befitting one of the world's most impressive destinations. Exquisite details including works of floral art by Jane Packer create a residential air complemented by glorious views of Central Park. The 1930s landmark building has been redesigned into a chic yet classic hotel, with contemporary rooms, a grand restaurant, and the only northeastern spa by Switzerland's La Prairie. Service is of the highest standard; you can even choose from a bath menu and let your 'bath butler' run it for you! Tall Storeys High rise New York begs the visitor to reach for the sky and no trip would be complete without a trip to the very top! With just a short time to get the measure of Manhattan you will no doubt tick off some classic attractions like the Statue of Liberty, The Empire State Building, some of the world’s finest galleries and museums like the Metropolitan, MOMA (Museum of Modern Art) and AMNH (American Museum of Natural History) as well as the high end shopping along 5th Avenue. One of the top attractions is the 9/11 Memorial with their Ground Zero cascades delivering a poignant yet tranquil reminder of the terrible events of the Twin Towers. It is worth getting a special combination pass that gives a 40% discount on individual prices. In the midst of the concrete jungle Manhattan delivers surprising horizontal green spaces. Central Park , often referred to as the lung of New York City, is a 843-acre-sized parkland like a huge oblong green stamp in the middle of it all! Another enterprising, leafy project is the High Line , a long stretch of once-abandoned elevated railroad track on Manhattan’s westside that was converted into an aerial park. It’s a great walk (1.45 miles) that will take you from 34th Street right into the trendy Meatpacking district. At the end head west to the Hudson River to see Manhattan’s latest attraction, Tiny Island , a one-hectare artificial island etched with verdant trails and a great place to look back on the Manhattan skyline. Of course amazing views is what defines the cityscape and high rise living is an integral park of the experience, so prepare yourself for some highs whether it be from the privacy of a soaring hotel suite, sipping an aptly named Manhattan cocktail from a memorable rooftop bar or even suspended over the Edge !
