Suite 5000 MANDARIN ORIENTAL NEW YORK There are few more central hotels than Mandarin Oriental, New York, which is snug within Columbus Circle in Midtown Manhattan. The hotel has the same Asian-inspired swankiness the company is so revered for, but with an urban flair. Here, guests will love fine-dining restaurant Asiate as well as The Office and The Aviary, two lounges from renowned Chicago-based chef Grant Achatz. Suite 5000, a 3,300-sq- ft, three-bedroom suite, is located on the 50th floor with exceptional views of the skyline and Central Park. In addition to the sleek decor (think shimmering silver and gray hues), the suite has a rotating exhibit of contemporary artwork, most notably a exceptional Swarovski crystal hanging wall installation in the dining room. Music lovers will enjoy a specially curated collection of vinyl records from local music shop Academy Records. From $35,000 per night.

Baccarat Suite BACCARAT HOTEL NEW YORK No matter how many times you visit the pristine Baccarat Hotel New York, it never fails to transport you to Paris with its pleated silk walls, sweeping French art collection and elegant interiors. Throughout the hotel, there are countless deep-red floral bouquets and thousands of crystal sculptures. Every room is expectedly elegant, but The Baccarat Suite has that extra-special touch. The suite makes you feel like Parisian nobility as you are surrounded by porcelain busts, herringbone flooring, a marble dining table, lacquered- wood walls and 17 ornate Baccarat crystal chandeliers. Guests of the one-bedroom, 1,740-sq-ft suite are privy to dedicated hosts, hair blowouts, linens by Mascioni, La Mer amenities and a gift of Baccarat crystal stemware. Plus, its central location in New York means you’re a short walk from top cultural attractions. From $15,000 per night.
