W TIMES SQUARE, NEW YORK
Swagger (when in New York…) through the glass-encased waterfall (we’re
talking ‘walking on water’ in the Biblical-with-a-NY-twist sense) and into the
lift that zooms you up to the seventh-floor reception area where streamlined
dusky lamps, white leather cubes and glistening resin alcoves (for
privacy/because they look great) await. Step aside to the Blue Fin restaurant
– speciality seafood – and chomp to the strains of New York’s finest jazz-sons
as you gaze over the maddest, baddest patch of advertising space this side of
anywhere. Or sit ‘n’ sip in Whiskey, Rande Gerber’s flagship, 7,500 sq ft
masterpiece of night-delight. Your room – with ‘hanging’ basins, ‘floating’
desk, sliding translucent bathroom screen and hovering bed (we made the
last one up) – is a sensational experiment in linear, ice-cool modernity.
3 nights from £615 p.p. (low season) and from £865 p.p. (high season) in
a Wonderful Room including flights. Meals and transfers extra.
HOTEL GANSEVOORT, NEW YORK
The coolest idea in the whole world is to have a swimming pool on the roof
of a foxy Manhattan hotel overlooking the Hudson River. That’s why Hotel
Gansevoort is one of the coolest hotels in the world. A recent arrival in the
trendy Meat-Packing district, Hotel Gansevoort reeks of New York, from the
neon entry through the edgy starkness of the lobby to the grown-up, don’t-
give-a-damn coolness of the rooms. The bar and restaurant are already hot
destinations, while the area itself is the epicentre of where everyone wants
to be (it’s where Samantha lived in Sex and the City)…And then, of course,
there’s that pool!
3 nights from £815 p.p. in a Superior Room including flights. Meals and
transfers extra.
