We could spend just a few hours pounding the streets of NYC, and still we'd run into a boon of great hotels. But none have captured our hearts quite as much as Hotel Barrière Fouquet's. This luxurious 5-star hotel has insane views of the rest of Manhattan and the best luxury.

Tucked away under the street is this magnificent and intimate sushi spot. We promise that the fish is fresh and the vibes are good at Azabu. It is truly a hidden gem that we could not recommend more. Not to mention the beautiful interiors will truly make you feel like you are away from the hustle and bustle from the big city for a while.

Novel yet authentic flavours are what define Altro Paradiso. There is nothing too fancy about the interior either, rather the bistro-like feel makes for warm evenings hunkering down on dishes from multiple regions in Italy.

On the iconic tree-lined Thompson Street in NYC, The Manner Soho is a revamped take on the minimalist luxury of the usual Downtown hotel. Hannes Peer was the designer and icon behind the bold, block-print colours, the full length mirrored walls in the various rooms and suites and the entirely marble-fronted bathrooms. From the Rooftop Bar overlooking the city skyline, an aperitivo in The Apartment or cocktail at Sloane's and dinner at the neighbourhood bistro helmed by Chef Alex Stupak; these are spaces largely reserved for guests and friends, though that also draw in SoHo's local hubbub. The result? A funky, gloriously furnished, design-focused hotel that is simultaneously as luxurious as it is a cosy, homely place to wind down from the city chaos.
