Every year, the Travel+Leisure World’s Best Awards survey asks travelers to weigh in on their favorite hotels—from the location and facilities down to the service and food. And while New York is home to almost every big hotel brand in the world, The Palace was named a reader-favorite and one of the city’s best. Thank you to all the guests who took the time to weigh in on why The Palace is so special, and for those who have yet to visit, here are our top 10 reasons to plan your trip today.
1.Location, location, location.
Visitors in New York want to say in the heart of Manhattan. At The Palace, you’re just steps away from the best that New York City has to offer: world-class dining at Rockefeller Center, iconic works of art at The Museum of Modern Art, and famous Broadway theaters.
2. It’s a tranquil refuge in Midtown.
We may be located in the thick of it all, but stepping through the gates of The Palace is a respite from the hustle and bustle. Our hotel is located in the landmark 1882 Villard Mansion, complete with a peaceful courtyard and dramatic entryway to the hotel’s grand lobby.
3. Spacious accommodations.
Rising above the historic Villard mansion is a modern tower with 909 rooms and suites, including 176 spacious suites in The Towers at The Palace. Here you can stretch out, relax, and get all the personal space you need after a day of exploring Manhattan.
