Gold & Leather

With Manhattan on your doorstep, you won't spend too much time in this boutique room. But when you do, two comfortable beds, a sleek bathroom and a Roku for streaming all your TV favourites will help you relax and unwind from the hustle and bustle outside. Be sure to take advantage of the on-site restaurant when you feel peckish – ideal since there isn't a kitchen here – as well as the off-site fitness centre when you fancy a workout.

Of course, the star of the show is the fantastic location. Just one block from Madison Square Park, this is the place to be if you want to experience NYC's gourmet restaurant scene, trendy bars and world-class shopping. Sightseeing here is a breeze – the famous Flatiron Building, towering Empire State and lively Madison Square Garden are all within walking distance, while the subway is a short stroll away for adventures further afield.
