The Ritz-Carlton New York, Central Park

Drawing design inspiration from a private city residence, this Forbes Five-Star property features the all-day Contour gastro lounge and a Movement Studio. Guest experiences are marked by high staff attention to detail, ranging from pre-arrival planning to custom room mementos. However, the accommodations receive mixed reviews: while some find them spacious for New York, others note that the decor and rooms feel dated or compact for the price.
