Situated at the mouth of the mighty Hudson River on the United States' Northeastern coast, New York City is often heralded as the epitome of freedom and democracy around the world. Her people, who collectively form a lively patchwork of global ethnicities, religions and personalities, blend vibrantly together to create what is arguably the most fascinating and diverse city in the world today.
Since the early 16th Century, migrants sojourning to America in search of a better way of life, had their first taste of freedom by passing through New York City. Lured to the continent in search of personal and religious freedoms, those brave enough to start their lives over again in North America were not disappointed. New York City provided them with plenty of sound reasons and encouragement to remain.
Visitors to the Big Apple, as the city is affectionately known, will also find the city more memorable than most any other local on earth. Nearly 50 million tourists place New York City on their travel plans. For each of these tourists there are a plethora of places to stay - from the quaint bed and breakfast to the quintessential five star hotel. New York City may have earned the moniker, 'the City that Never Sleeps', but finding the perfect place when you are ready will be anything but a hassle.
The featured properties, for instance, are known worldwide for their fine attention to detail, impeccable service and luxuriously appointed decor throughout. After a delightfully exhausting day sightseeing atop the city at the likes of the Empire State and Chrysler Buildings, absorbing the diverse cultural vibes at street level, or being wowed by a world renowned Broadway theatre production, New York's premiere luxury hotels stand ready to serve you unreservedly.
Like the city itself, New York's five star hotels present a stunning sense of global architecture and cultural influence. Some of the oldest and most elegant hotels in New York City display classic Colonial and Georgian styling. With iconic brick facades, ornate woodworking detail and slate roofs, these five star gems hark back to the days of early 18th Century European decor.
Not to be outdone by the grandeur of yesteryear, the quaint styling of one of New York's many five star boutique hotels are an intimate treat to behold! Sometimes referred to as 'design hotels' or 'lifestyle hotels', New York's are luxuriously furnished in a themed way, and provide a uniquely personal sense of comfort and grace.
Of course, if contemporary five star styling is the order of the day, look no further than the myriad of modern five star properties spread throughout New York City. Smoothly elegant and ultra fashionable, these five star properties offer bold, trendy furnishings, as well as strikingly memorable glass, marble, shiny steel decor and accents, all designed to provide guests with a hip sense of today and beyond.
