NEW YORK (PIX11) -- Every day, weary travelers book accommodations at a vast array of hotels around the globe, catering to preferences and budgets ranging from high-end suites to more affordable lodging options.
Travelers arriving in New York City have an abundance of stays to choose from, with the metropolitan area boasting over 700 hotels, according to a 2020 report from the Department of City Planning.
Determining the best hotels to stay at can be a challenging task. However, the team at Fodor's Travel has compiled a list of their top accommodations around the world, with two hotels from New York City making the final cut.
Here are the New York City hotels selected in the 100 Most Incredible Hotels in the World for 2025.
Nestled in Lower Manhattan, this luxurious award-winning landmark has housed the likes of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Mark Twain, Henry David Thoreau, and Edgar Allen Poe. Known for its nine-story Victorian atrium, The Beekman, a Thompson Hotel, was awarded a One Key distinction by the Michelin Guide in April 2024.
The Beekman also boasts a prime location for tourists, within walking distance of the iconic Brooklyn Bridge and City Hall Park. It is easily accessible via public transportation, with nearby subway lines A, C, 2, 3, 4, 5, J, Z, R, and W.
The hotel is also nominated for Travel + Leisure's 2025 World's Best Awards. Voting takes place through Feb. 25, 2025.
If you are searching for a luxurious stay outside of Manhattan, The William Vale should be one of the top considerations. Situated between Bushwick Inlet Park and McCarren Park, this 22-floor hotel offers stunning views of the East River and the Manhattan and Long Island city skylines.
Every room features a private balcony, allowing guests to enjoy fresh air and stunning views. On the 22nd floor, you'll find Westlight, a rooftop cocktail bar offering panoramic vistas of the surrounding areas.
Additionally, the hotel provides complimentary access to bikes and a heated indoor pool. For those looking for relaxation, The William Vale offers sauna and steam room barrels available for an additional charge.
