Hôtels de luxe en United States

Stunning Lux 2 Bed 2 Bath with Panoramic View from Balcony occupies an apartment on the 47th floor of a recent residential tower, 601 Northeast 1st Avenue, with a plunging view over Biscayne Bay and the Downtown skyscrapers. We access a communal pool, a fitness centre and a spa shared with residents, the whole is clean and well-maintained but without the service of a palace. The two bedrooms are spacious, modern bathrooms, equipped kitchen, neutral decoration type high-end Airbnb. The wraparound balcony justifies the rate, from 711 € per night, especially at sunset when the port lights come on. The 9.6/10 score on 31 reviews reflects the cleanliness and view, not classic hotel service. We book for the apartment and the panorama, not for the concierge or room service.

The Warren Street Hotel occupies a cast-iron building from 1860, an era when Tribeca still stored fabrics from the port. We appreciate the sobriety of the place, far from glitzy Midtown, with rooms in neutral tones, wide parquet, white marble bathrooms. The grazing light from Warren Street enters through tall sash windows, typical of the neighbourhood. The in-house restaurant serves contemporary American cuisine, room service operates until 23h. From 1 163 € a night, we pay for the location (Soho 8 minutes on foot, Financial District 5) and the Booking score of 9.6/10 which lives up to its promises. Tribeca remains one of Manhattan's quietest neighbourhoods, perfect for sleeping after meetings or Chelsea galleries ✨

The Waldorf Astoria New York regains its original lustre after a complete metamorphosis of the 47-storey tower. We cross the Verona marble lobby under the Baccarat crystal chandeliers, restored to their original state.

Peacock Alley serves afternoon tea under the listed mural frescoes. Rates from 1 400 € per night, consistent with the standing and the Park Avenue address.

Opened in 2022, Aman New York takes the exact opposite tack to New York hotels: few rooms, plenty of space, a monastic calm.

The Whitby Hotel occupies a red sandstone building on 56th Street, between Fifth Avenue and the MoMA. We recognise the Firmdale touch from the lobby: plum velvet armchairs, painted ceramic lamps, contemporary works hung without symmetry. The rooms blend blond wood, king beds in off-white linen, bathrooms in veined grey marble. The Whitby Bar & Restaurant serves revamped American cuisine, with cognac leather banquettes and a glass roof overlooking the street. Service remains discreet, efficient, never stuffy.

The 86 rooms blend blond parquet, padded striped linen headboards, granite bathrooms with deep bathtubs. The Crosby Bar & Terrace serves modern American cuisine in a paved garden open all year round, rare in Manhattan. Service remains discreet, efficient, very Firmdale Hotels.

The 15-metre indoor pool bathes under a golden mosaic, the La Mer Spa offers treatments and hammam.

The Sherry Netherland occupies a 1927 Art Deco building facing Central Park, and we sleep in real apartments with herringbone parquet, original mouldings and functional kitchens. The rooms mix antique furniture and modern comfort, some with marble fireplaces. The park view alone justifies the rate from 926 € a night, especially on the upper floors where light floods the rooms. Service remains discreet, suited to a regular clientele who have been returning for decades. No spa or pool, but a decent fitness centre and the Cipriani restaurant on the ground floor. We come here for the address, the history and that rare sensation of living in New York rather than simply staying there ✨

Fouquet's New York transposes the DNA of the Champs-Élysées to 456 Greenwich Street, in a glass and brick building in Tribeca. We find the codes: dark wood panelling, tawny leather banquettes, dimmed lighting that recalls the mother brasserie. The Diane Barrière spa spans 930 m² with hammam, sauna and treatment cabins, rare at this scale in the neighbourhood. The 97 rooms embrace understated chic, textured fabrics and white marble bathrooms. The restaurant serves a Franco-American menu overseen by Pierre Gagnaire, with lobster and côte de bœuf as signatures.

The Wallace Hotel occupies a tree-lined street of the Upper West Side, this residential New York the guides often forget. We sleep in rooms in neutral tones, light wood and white linen, sash windows giving onto red-brick facades. The fitness centre is compact but functional, sufficient to keep the pace. Central Park is reached on foot in five minutes, Lincoln Center in ten. From 582 € a night, it's one of the rare family addresses accepting pets in this area. We recommend for those who want to live New York like a local, not like a tourist ✨

The Wall Street Hotel New York City occupies a 1907 banking building, and the weight of history is still felt in the volumes. The rooms blend period mouldings and contemporary furniture, some with direct views over the glass towers of the financial district. The ground-floor restaurant serves a classic American menu, without fanfare. The gym remains modest for a five-star at this price. We appreciate the location, 300 metres from the Charging Bull and a 10-minute walk from One World Trade Center, from 681 € a night. An address for those who want to sleep in the historic heart of Manhattan, not for the spa or rooftop.

The rooftop pool is open until sunset, teak sun loungers, cocktail service. The spa offers massages and signature treatments, cabins with water views.

We bed down in an equipped apartment (kitchen, lounge, balcony facing the bay), with access to a small hotel’s services: pool, gym, free Wi-Fi, private parking. The rooms are functional, contemporary furniture without design signature, but the view from the balcony justifies the booking. The rate starts at 308 € per night, reasonable for Miami with parking included. The 9.1/10 score from 540 reviews reflects the cleanliness and service reliability. It’s an address for long stays or families who want to cook, not a palace with concierge.

L'InterContinental Miami occupies a 34-storey building at the end of Brickell Avenue, facing the port. We sleep in standard IHG rooms refurbished in 2019, beige marble, floor-to-ceiling windows, bay or skyline views depending on the floor. The pool on the 5th remains the real draw: teak sunloungers, swim-up bar, no crowds even in high season. The Elemis spa offers decent treatments, nothing memorable. From 234 € a night, it's the best value for a 5★ Downtown with pool and direct access to Bayside. Service is professional, never warm, typical of big chains.

Maison Felix occupies a low-rise villa in Miami Beach, between Surfside and Bal Harbour, in a quiet residential district.

The Hotel Beaux Arts, Autograph Collection occupies a contemporary building on Biscayne Boulevard, facing the bay. We tested a water-view room: light marble floors, brushed brass furniture, floor-to-ceiling windows that let in Miami's light all day. The spa offers massages and treatments in a plush setting, the rooftop pool provides unobstructed views of the port and Financial District towers. From 1 093 € per night, the rate places the hotel in Miami's palace segment, with attentive service but without the history of South Beach's grand houses. The restaurant serves contemporary American cuisine, correct without being memorable. We recommend it for a business stay or design weekend, not for the gastronomic experience.

Four Seasons Hotel Miami occupies a glass and steel tower at the heart of Brickell, the city's tropical Manhattan. We bed down between the 7th and 40th floors, spacious rooms (42 m² minimum) with floor-to-ceiling windows framing the bay or Downtown, contemporary furniture in dark wood, marble in the bathrooms. The 1,200 m² spa offers signature treatments based on Florida citrus, the pool overlooks yachts moored at Brickell Key. Service is polished, discreet, efficient, typical of the chain.

Solid address, no surprises ✨

Private condo hotel at Four Seasons Brickell occupies the 30th floor of the Four Seasons tower, and we stay in a private apartment rather than a standard room. The view over Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline justifies the address, with floor-to-ceiling windows and private terrace. We have access to the pool, spa and restaurant downstairs at the Four Seasons, which avoids the usual compromises of upscale Airbnb rentals. The service is that of a palace, with room service and concierge available. The apartment itself is furnished in a sleek contemporary style, light marble and blonde wood. From 629 € per night, it's a hybrid formula that appeals to long stays (a minimum week to make the most of it). We recommend if you're seeking the autonomy of an apartment without renouncing the facilities of a 5★ ✨
