Hôtels de luxe en United States

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 Midtown's glitz, with rooms in neutral tones, wide parquet, white marble bathrooms. The grazing light of Warren Street filters through tall sash windows, typical of the neighbourhood. The in-house restaurant serves contemporary American cuisine, room service runs until 11pm. From 1 163 € per night, we pay for the location (Soho 8 minutes on foot, Financial District 5) and the Booking score of 9.6/10 that lives up to its promises. Tribeca remains one of Manhattan's quietest neighbourhoods, perfect for sleeping after meetings or Chelsea's galleries ✨

The Four Seasons Hotel New York occupies an I.M. Pei building of 52 storeys on 57th Street, two blocks from the MoMA and Central Park. We head up to rooms in beige and cream tones, blonde wood, honey onyx marble in the bathrooms. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the spaces with light, unobstructed views over glass and steel towers. The 670 m² spa offers treatment cabins and indoor pool, the Ty Bar serves cocktails and oysters until midnight. Service remains discreet, efficient, attuned to the expectations of an international clientele. From 2 157 € per night, rate consistent with the standing and location ✨

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 identically. The rooms blend Art Deco wood panelling and contemporary amenities, some with direct views of the Chrysler Building. The Guerlain spa occupies 1 400 m² in the basement, golden mosaic pool included. Peacock Alley serves afternoon tea under the listed mural frescoes. Rates from 1 400 € per night, in keeping with the standing and the Park Avenue address. The Booking score of 9.5/10 from 44 reviews confirms the success of the reopening ✨

Opened in 2022, Aman New York has taken the exact opposite tack of 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 spot the Firmdale touch from the lobby: plum velvet armchairs, hand-painted ceramic lamps, contemporary works hung asymmetrically. The rooms blend blonde wood, king beds in off-white linen, grey-veined marble bathrooms. 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. From 1 554 € a night, we pay as much for the address as the signature design. A safe bet for anyone seeking a design pied-à-terre in Midtown, without the anonymity of big chains ✨

Crosby Street Hotel occupies a red-brick building in the heart of SoHo, two blocks from Prince Street. We spot Kit Kemp’s touch from the lobby: bold printed fabrics, bespoke furniture, contemporary sculptures that converse with fuchsia velvet armchairs. The 86 rooms mix blonde 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. From 4 137 € a night, we pay as much for the address as for the style ✨

The Wallace Hotel occupies a tree-lined street in the Upper West Side, that residential New York the guides often overlook. We sleep in rooms with neutral tones, light wood and white linens, sash windows overlooking red-brick facades. The fitness centre is compact but functional, enough to keep the pace. Central Park is a five-minute walk away, Lincoln Center ten. From 582 € a night, it's one of the few family-friendly addresses accepting pets in this area. We recommend for those who want to live New York like a local, not like a tourist ✨

The Baccarat Hotel and Residences New York occupies a 1928 building on 53rd Street, facing the MoMA garden. We step into a lobby where every chandelier, wall light and glass comes from the Lorraine workshops, from floor to ceiling. The 114 rooms play the card of lacquered white, pearl-grey velvet and bevelled mirrors, with bathrooms in white Thassos marble. The 15-metre indoor pool bathes under a golden mosaic, the La Mer Spa offers treatments and hammam. The Chevalier restaurant, led by chef Shea Gallante, serves contemporary French cuisine under monumental chandeliers. From 1 569 € a night, we pay as much for the crystal as for the address, 300 metres from Fifth Avenue ✨

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 justifies the rate from 926 € a night on its own, 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 Champs-Élysées DNA to 456 Greenwich Street, in a glass and brick building in Tribeca. We find the codes: dark wood panelling, tawny leather banquettes, dim lighting that recalls the mother brasserie. The Diane Barrière spa occupies 930 m² with hammam, sauna and treatment cabins, rare at this scale in the neighbourhood. The 97 rooms play sober 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. From 1 879 € per night, we pay as much for the name as the address, but the service remains impeccable and the Booking score (9.3/10) testifies to flawless execution ✨

The Wall Street Hotel New York City occupies a 1907 banking building, and we still sense the weight of history 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 pretension. The fitness centre remains modest for a five-star at this rate. 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 the rooftop.
