The first hotel in NYC to get connected, all of HIWS rooms have T1 connections, ironing boards and coffee-makers. This hotel caters to business and is located in the heart of it. There is a 24-hour executive boardroom, self-service, with a media wall and seating for up to 50. Rooms can be requested with PCs running Microsoft business apps and office supplies gratis. A S.M.A.R.T. Floor (Smart Machines Are Right There) is available for guests in need of whatever technology they may require.

This chic hotel has adapted to its proximity to Silicon Alley and installed wifi service throughout its 1920s-inspired décor. Having only seven rooms per floor gives it an apartment building feel, and the ten-foot ceilings in rooms are something of an anomaly, particularly in this space-crazed town. Public areas are equally airy, and a feeling of spaciousness is surprisingly prevalent. Sciuscia, the Mediterranean eatery located downstairs, ate up the reviews upon opening, and has since kept the tables full.

Some of the best views in the city are available from this hotel that sits on the Hudson River looking out over the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and New York Harbour. Business travellers will appreciate its right-next-door proximity to the heart of NYC’s financial district. A Fortune 500 business could have a company picnic in the Ritz’s 12,000-square-foot conference space. The full-service business centre could also keep the employees busy while enjoying the chip-n-dips.

The European-styled, Swissôtel The Drake, New York offers elegance and luxury in an ideal setting for work or play – on Park Avenue at 56th Street, one block from the boutiques of Madison Avenue and just five blocks from Central Park. The hotel welcomes both business and leisure travellers as well as VIPs like Justin Timberlake, who stayed here after one of his concerts. Its on-site spa is a superb fitness and treatment centre in which to unwind after a long flight or a day of meetings, the bar and restaurant are atmospheric and welcoming and the business centre has every desirable amenity.

A relatively recent renovation has this old NYC favourite living up to its long traded- on past. More famous for its roundtable of writers from The New Yorker (whose offices are down the street) that included Dorothy Parker and E.B. White, the hotel’s rooms are cushy, but not fabulous. More fun can be had in its bars, the now trendy Oak Room has an exceptional selection of scotches and the Blue Bar is as old as it smells. Many from the literary set and publishing worlds still frequent its rooms.
