A sumptuous hotel with an incredible pool in lower Manhattan that seamlessly blends class, elegance and exquisite service – this is New York at its finest
Like many who have previously lived in New York, I have a somewhat complicated relationship with the city. My heart will never not skip a beat as that first view of the Manhattan skyline comes into view through the taxi window. But returning as a tourist elicits a slight ache for the NYC of the past, of the city I once called home – when Bushwick was still edgy, when bad meals felt impossible and when Meatpacking wasn’t flooded with tech bros. By the final night of my recent three-night trip to New York, I felt tired and underwhelmed. The Greenwich Hotel changed this. At this hotel, I found the New York of my rose-tinted memories. Admittedly, it’s far from cheap. But if you are going to splurge on an NYC hotel, do it here.
