The Ritz-Carlton New York

The Ritz-Carlton Central Park is one of those New York hotels that gives you the impression that you've somehow wound up in the middle of a storybook. You don't want to rush through this hotel in order to get to your room. From the moment two top-hatted guys open the door and lead you to the lobby, you want to appreciate and feel it. You are immediately surrounded by warm wood and cool marble, a completely different environment from the drab concrete pavement you were just leaving.

The décor of the space is simple and cozy, and it is significantly lighter than the downstairs lounge's. Every night, turn-down service is provided, and a full in-room eating menu is accessible around-the-clock (The club sandwich on toasted sourdough is a must-try). But let's be honest, the stunning views of Central Park are the standout aspect of these suites. You get a completely different perspective on the expansive green space when you look out over the well-known city landmark from just across the street, and some rooms even have telescopes to help you look at it more closely.

At Contour, you may savor a delectable Christmas meal in addition to warming up with a holiday drink in the inviting lounge with wood paneling. And if you prefer whisky, the hotel can arrange for you to join a licensed bourbon steward on an exclusive tour and tasting at Kings County in Brooklyn, New York's oldest distillery.
