The Surrey, New York
More photosExpert reviews
“Having an outpost of Casa Tua, the swank restaurant and members’ club with locations in Miami and Aspen, has certainly drawn the in-crowd, who are lining up for the phenomenal hand-cut pappardelle. It also helps that the property feels like an extension of the neighborhood’s stately townhouses. Stepping into the lobby, there’s a purely New York feeling: chic, in-the-know, and quietly powerful.”
“Originally built in New York City in 1926, The Surrey is a historic Art Deco gem that was once a residential hotel frequented by celebrities like JFK and Bette Davis. It has since been completely renovated and now operates under the management of the global luxury hotel group Corinthia.”

All you need to know
If you’re looking to stay somewhere that feels both quintessentially New York and quietly luxurious, The Surrey on the Upper East Side is a pretty solid pick.
Nestled right near Central Park, the hotel gives off that leafy-city vibe where you can wander into green space one minute, then be sipping something fancy in a plush hotel lounge the next. The Surrey has that mix of Manhattan glamour with something a bit softer, more residential, than the super high-rise downtown hotels.
Inside, you’ll find 70 rooms and 30 suites designed with warm materials and thoughtful touches by designer Martin Brudnizki. There’s also a spa tucked away on the second floor, complete with a steam room, sauna and an outdoor terrace, a nice little escape after a full day of NYC sightseeing.
For someone who wants to experience the city without being in the chaos of Midtown, while still having easy access to restaurants, galleries and parks, The Surrey hits that sweet spot.

Other New York hotels
The High Line Hotel, New York
Frommers + 2 more“Very few NYC hotels deserve the high price tag they wear. This one just may. Its interior is as grand, though delightfully quirky, with rooms that look like they could have been inhabited by a Gatsby type in the 1920s.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in New York.
Freehand Hotel, New York
CN Traveler“Better to book something that’s at least clean, comfortable, and strategically located, and spend the extra cash on that restaurant everyone has been posting about. Freehand takes this compromise and somehow manages to make it feel sexy and stylish. Rooms are basic but brightened up with artworks that sometimes snake across the walls and ceilings.”

The Lowell Hotel, New York
CN Traveler + 2 more“The Lowell, on the Upper East Side, reopened in 2017 after a three-year renovation. Its 74 rooms got a refresh, but the important touches stayed the same: wood-burning fireplaces, grisaille wallpaper in the lobby, tasseled key fobs.”
Featured in CN Traveler’s 2020 Gold List.
The Ludlow Hotel, New York
New York Times + 1 more“The Ludlow is in the heart of the Lower East Side, one of the city’s most desirable areas for the hip and youthful set. The hotel wins high marks for its neighborhood feel and is a smart choice for travelers looking for an authentic sense of place away from the crowds.”
