New York

New York is one of the world’s great city destinations, but the best way to experience it is not always to do more. Its energy is immediate, but its real appeal comes from the way each neighbourhood, restaurant, gallery, hotel and street corner contributes to the feeling of being somewhere utterly distinctive.

For some travellers, New York is a first-time city break built around iconic sights, theatre, shopping and skyline views. For others, it is a return journey shaped by neighbourhoods, food, art, design and the quieter discoveries that sit beyond the obvious landmarks.

The city can be fast, glamorous, creative, indulgent and surprisingly intimate, depending on where you stay and how you move through it. Choosing the right hotel and neighbourhood can change the whole feel of the trip.

The best New York holidays balance the excitement of the city with enough space to enjoy it properly.

Travel Guide

The first decision is what kind of New York you want to experience. Midtown puts many of the city’s most famous landmarks within easy reach and works well for first-time visitors who want convenience, theatre, museums and classic skyline moments. Downtown brings a more neighbourhood-led feel, with SoHo, Tribeca, the West Village and the Lower East Side offering restaurants, boutiques, galleries and a more local rhythm.

The Upper East Side and Upper West Side create a more refined, residential style of stay, especially for travellers drawn to Central Park, museums and elegant hotels. Brooklyn can add a different perspective, with its own dining, design and waterfront views back towards Manhattan.

New York is not one experience. It is a city that changes depending on where you base yourself and how you choose to spend your days.
