Aliz Hotel Times Square ★★★★

Welcome to New York City. Wake up in your divine room having enjoyed a perfect night’s sleep, who would have thought that outside your window an unrelenting force of excitement awaited you? Elegance echoes through the corridors of this brand-new, boutique hotel, but the noise of the city remains outside.

Walk out the hotel’s front doors to discover the cinematic city, grab some fresh OJ and a bagel on your short stroll to the magnificent Times Square. Look around you, even the great, extravagant advertisements are impressive and mesmerising. You’ve seen it in the movies, and now you’re living it. You walk along the busy streets, as you cross a road with the iconic yellow cabs hurrying past, you feel an urge to exclaim; “hey I’m walking here!”.

The city has a dizzying list of world-renowned art and museums, The Met, the Natural History Museum, the Guggenheim, as well as galleries devoted to the freshest avant-garde pieces and a wealth of museums devoted to all manner of things. Having finally chosen one, good luck reaching your destination on time! The streets are packed with hidden gems, staggering architecture, endearing bookstores and countless delicious looking treats to distract you. Indeed, New York City is a wanderer’s delight.

Having returned from some fine cuisine in one of the city’s many thousands of diverse restaurants, ascend to the two-storey ‘NYC Rooftop Bar & Lounge’ and gaze at the phenomenal views of New York City’s amazing skyline. Stare at the dream-like vision in front of you with a drink in hand. As the sun sets, the luminous skyscrapers resist nightfall’s approach, the city is lit up into a glorious lights-show.

Aliz Hotel Times Square is an ideal sanctuary after a day of exploring the extraordinary Big Apple. Rest your legs from wandering, and your eyes from delight in a lush, inviting bed. Maybe peak once more out of your window at the city where dreams are made, before going to sleep and waking up to yours.
