Recent Peninsula New York Review: "The Peninsula is definitely one of the great hotels of the world. I spend over 150 nights in hotels each year. My stay at The Peninsula New York has been one of the greatest. The level of attention to detail is unsurpassed. The helpful and attentive staff make it a very comfortable place to stay. The rooftop lounge is a must visit. Room service is extraordinary. I loved the thick, plush bathrobes. Elegance all around. More than nice: Excellent!"

The Peninsula is just 3 blocks from both the Theater District and the Museum of Modern Art. For more organic views, spend some downtime in Central Park, only 4 blocks north, offering 843 acres of green space and unparalleled people-watching. The Peninsula New York is dressed to impress, welcoming you into a grand, 2-story foyer, where a glittering chandelier illuminates a double staircase to the lobby. At stylish Fives restaurant, enjoy Mediterranean-inspired dishes and views of the bustling city streets, while the Bar at Fives invites you to unwind with signature cocktails and live piano music. Atop the hotel, the glass-enclosed Salon de Ning opens onto a terrace filled with tables and cushioned benches heaped with pillows. Room service is, of course, available 24 hours a day. Sharing the rooftop are The Peninsula's spa and health club.

TVs are paired with DVD players. You'll find it hard to leave your plush bed, with its pillowtop mattress and Egyptian-cotton linens, especially when the bedside control panel lets you adjust the lighting, temperature, and even the Do Not Disturb sign from beneath your down duvet. Step into the marble bathroom, and you'll find bathrobes and slippers as well as a soaking tub with a separate shower. A hands-free telephone and a TV are within easy reach of the tub.

And oh, what a pool. The 42-foot rooftop pool is enclosed by glass walls and surrounded by a wraparound sunbathing terrace offering unparalleled views of Fifth Avenue.

The full menu of fitness options also includes a skylit weight room and a cardio room with more than 2 dozen machines, plasma TVs, and city views. Complimentary Yoga and Pilates classes are held in a wood-floored fitness studio capped by a slanting glass roof to let in natural light.

If you left your workout clothes at home, the locker room offers a selection of attire you can borrow during your stay.
Craving the great outdoors? Walk 4 blocks north to Central Park, the 843-acre crown jewel of Manhattan. Threaded with walking and running paths, the park includes gardens and woods. Spend an afternoon in a rowboat during gentler months, or skate at Wollman Rink in the winter.
