Sherry-Netherland Hotel

Midtown


If your expense account is feeling particularly generous, consider booking at this majestic beauty on the corner of Central Park. Restored in 2014, the Sherry-Netherland houses 50 spacious, classically inspired guestrooms and suites, lavished with king-sized beds, hand-carved wooden furniture (cleverly concealing modern essentials like flat-screen TVs) and marble bathrooms for a decadent soak.

Staff are warm and helpful, and the lobby friezes – modeled on the Vatican Library in Rome – are suitably breathtaking.
