Upper West Side
Hotel Excelsior
Located in the Upper West Side between Central Park and Columbus Avenue, the 16-story Hotel Excelsior overlooks the verdant park, the Hayden Planetarium, and the Museum of Natural History, which is only a five-minute walk away. The lobby is furnished with a marble floor and warm wood paneling, while the second-floor lounge contains leather seating, a working fireplace, a library, and an assortment of games. Filled with natural light from the large windows, each of the 200 rooms has dark wood furniture and all-white linens with gold accents. The on-site restaurant, Calle Ocho, serves flavorful Latin fusion cuisine.
Room to Book:
The rooms overlooking the lush grounds of the Natural History Museum are only slightly pricier and well worth the extra cost.
Insider Tip:
Don’t miss brunch at Calle Ocho, which includes bottomless servings of eight different sangrias (try the popular Mulata, made with spiced rum, tamarind, and vanilla).
