Hotel Henri, A Wyndham Hotel ★★★★

With so many hotels in the city, it’s hard to know you’ve made the right choice. Any such doubts dissipate the moment you arrive at the Hotel Henri ****, a Wyndham Hotel, in a beautifully renovated, elegant building close to many popular New York sites, and with excellent transport links to those further afield. The lobby glitters with gold, befitting its location, but inside, the rooms are soothing and minimal. Crisp white bedding features alongside natural wood accents and cool grey walls.

Downstairs, you’ll find everything you need to turn the hotel into a home, from the convenience store to the café, an essential stop before heading out and hitting the sidewalk. At dusk, however, guests should head upstairs to the rooftop bar, an intimate lounge that captures the decadence and luxury of the Jazz Age. The dining scene in New York is world-renowned, but the Hotel Henri **** can compete with ease – the open-air setting and organic dishes effortlessly stand their own against the city’s glitzy restaurants.

The relentlessly fast-paced and adrenaline-fuelled lifestyle of New Yorkers may have earned it the moniker “the city that never sleeps”, but after a long day being dazzled by all New York has to offer, travellers might find that a good night’s sleep exactly what they long for. Fortunately, New York prides itself on being the brightest, boldest and best in every aspect – and the Hotel Henri **** is no exception.
