LONDON, July 29, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --
There's never been a better time to visit New York with its buzzing atmosphere and towering buildings. It's a heady blend of iconic images, eclectic neighbourhoods and community spirit.
No matter whether you're taking a stroll through Central Park, marveling at the money monuments on Wall Street or simply enjoying a lazy brunch at one of the easy-going diners, New York City really does have something for everyone.
Intercontinental Barclay New York first opened its doors in 1926 under the aegis of the Vanderbilt family, quickly achieving a reputation as a hotel of distinction and exclusivity. Bette Davis, Marlon Brando and other celebrities have enjoyed its brand of hospitality in the past, now it's your turn! The Intercontinental Barclay New York combines old-world glamour with modern 21st-century functionality. Guests can enjoy an elegant residential design and state-of-the-art room facilities. There is also a health club at the Intercontinental Barclay New York to take advantage of, complete with treatment rooms. The Barclay Bar & Grill, with its club-like setting, is a great place to enjoy a pre-dinner drink before heading to one of the many restaurants and nightspots in the local vicinity.
The Sheraton New York hotel and towers has a fantastic location in the heart of Midtown, with the Museum of Modern Art 2 blocks east and the Broadway theatres to the south and west. Times Square, the Broadway Theatre District, Rockefeller Center, Carnegie Hall, Central Park, the famous 5th Avenue and Madison Avenue just steps away…. Wow. There is just so much to cram into a stay at Sheraton New York hotel and towers a second visit is a must. Enjoy a buffet breakfast at the newly renovated Hudson Market or enjoy views of bustling Seventh Avenue at the new Sheraton Link, a cosy place for an early evening cocktail or nightcap. Also there is a brand new fully equipped health club with steam room at the Sheraton New York hotel and towers.
Midtown really is the place to stay with the array of fantastic hotels on off such as the Skyline Hotel New York. The Skyline Hotel New York is just west of the Theater District, and with so many off-Broadway theatres nearby, trendy recording and TV studios, you may spot some stars. The famous Blue Note Café is a 10-min walk from the Skyline Hotel New York, home of the best jazz in town. The indoor heated pool will be perfect for an early evening reviver.
Beacon hotel New York is in the quieter but desirable Upper West Side location with excellent local restaurants. Rooms are larger than in the centre of Manhattan, and your kitchenette means you can perhaps fix yourself some breakfast, as our American friends would say. The famous Lincoln Center is a short walk from the Beacon hotel New York, together with Central Park, American Museum of Natural History and Rose Center for Earth and Space, and a clutch of off-Broadway theatres.
