Unique New York City Hotels

While for a fair number of traveling folk, hotels are mere affordable, decently comfortable resting stops, for other excited travelers hotels can serve as significant, trip-defining highlights. In this day and age, with modern innovation being what it is, and architecture having achieved the prestige heights that it has, hotels are cooler and truly more unique than ever. From stunning top-shelf amenities and state-of-the-art technology to enhance the overall luxuriousness of a hotel's space, to the impeccable attention to detail present in various hotels within New York City, with the right amount of research on your end, you can rest assured that you're staying at an unforgettable hotel. Fortunately, we've taken the time to pull together a few of the most insanely beautiful, out-of-this-world hotel options for your time spent in New York City. 

The Plaza Near Central Park

If there's one thing that you can count on when it comes to NYC, it's that there is pretty much always something new and madly enticing popping up in the "Big Apple." That alone is what makes The Plaza Near Central Park as appealing as it is. For quite literally, over a century, The Plaza has stood the test of time itself to remain one of New York City's undeniably premier destinations for travelers interested in getting the most out of their overnight stays. You can find The Plaza just off Fifth Avenue, and from there it's a matter of taking your pick out of the hotel's equally luxurious rooms. The rooms include in-room iPads, gold-plated fixtures, and a true Hollywoodesque level of glitz and glamor. You can even set yourself up with a nice afternoon tea at The Palm Court before or after you make the most out of the onsite wellness facilities. 

The Moxy Hotel in Downtown

The Moxy Hotel gives off a larger-than-life "Wolf of Wall Street" kind of vibe, as it's located within the tireless, bustling and hustling pit of the Financial District. You can find a 5,000-square-foot bar and lounge, a basketball court, an old-school arcade, and every room comes outfitted with automated lighting, shade, and temperature controls. If that's not technologically cutting-edge enough for you though, have some fun with the 50" Smart TV, the cloudlike soft bathrobes, and the complimentary toiletries. 

The Dream in Downtown

As if out of a dream itself, The Dream all at once can give one a feeling of being so fantastical that it is out of a dreamlike world. Located just around the corner from Chelsea Market, a convenient block from the High Line, and then nice and close to the Meatpacking District, The Dream in Downtown might have the best location out of the bunch we've reviewed here. The hotel's theme includes a stunning rooftop pool which can serve as a hotspot destination during the historically hot summer months in NYC. When you're all tuckered out you can enjoy the Egyptian cotton bedding in the hotel rooms that come with courtesy plush bathrobes. Whoever decided to name this hotel The Dream was definitely on to something.
