An overnight stay (or more) at a five-star hotel in New York City is a wonderful way to either jumpstart or rekindle a romance.
Each of these elegant properties offer guests the chance to relax, indulge, and feel pampered—as well as opportunities to take advantage of the city’s museums, entertainment, shopping and other attractions. (Of course, they would have to opt to leave their cocoons.)
Here are some of the most romantic luxury hotels in New York City. Plan ahead for a sybaritic experience!
