Park Hyatt New York

"If James Bond had an apartment in New York, it would probably look a lot like one of the guest rooms and suites here. It's all crisp, cool minimalism with contemporary furniture, stone floors, and dark wood. And even entry-level rooms clock in at 530 square feet, making them some of the biggest in the city. Take in city views and breakfast on the patio on one of several Terrace Suites. An entire day can be spent at the hotel's 25th-floor Spa Nalai. After a treatment, you can try the eucalyptus steam room, whirlpool, and saltwater lap pool, which has to be the most beautiful in Manhattan (and also features underwater speakers with a curated playlist by Carnegie Hall). After a day of respite, get ready for a night on the town with a hair treatment and blowout at world-renowned Rossano Ferretti Hairspa. This is a chance to stay in one of the tallest buildings in Manhattan at the cross-section of the city; Central Park is just a block away." - CNT Editors

"Best for: Swimming pool accessNeighborhood: Midtown With a prime location on Billionaire’s Row, the Park Hyatt is within walking distance of many of the city’s top family-friendly attractions, from Central Park to Rockefeller Center to the Museum of Modern Art. But we also don’t blame you if you have a hard time peeling yourself away from the hotel—the property has recently introduced new family suites, which are kitted out with robes in sizes for the whole family, in-room tents complete with a stuffed animal (my daughter opted to sleep here instead of her bed), and Johnson & Johnson toiletries for the youngest travelers. Other on-site amenities include an indoor saltwater pool on the 25th floor, mocktails for kids at the restaurant The Living Room, and a concierge who can arrange for expert childcare if parents want a night on the town. Address: 153 W 57th St, New York, NY 10019"

"A top-tier hotel that is out of reach for Category 1 to 4 Hyatt hotel or resort free night certificates. However, World of Hyatt Credit Card holders can enjoy other excellent options such as Andaz Savannah and Lindner Hotel Mallorca Portals Nous in Spain."

"Occupying 25 floors of a 90-story tower on West 57th Street, Park Hyatt New York opened its doors in August 2014. There is an emphasis on art at this sleek hotel, with museum-quality pieces on display in both the common areas and the spacious, light-filled rooms." - Jennifer Flowers
