Accomodation for 10 nights- Honeymoon- HELP! :)
Save

Hi everyone,

I've scoured the forums for some assistance but couldn't find what I was looking for, so would REALLY appreciate some help!

My fiance and I are planning on coming to NY for 10 nights in May 2008:

Is Midtown in the most central place to stay?

Given that we're staying for 10 nights, can anyone recommend a hotel/apartment with bigger rooms and (importantly) bigger bathrooms and maybe a kitchenette?

Our budget is up to $450 US per night so would appreciate any advice/assistance!

Thanks and have a great day:)

I would HIGHLY recommend the Courtyard Marriott Midtown East....we are actually going there for our honeymoon in January (6 nights)....its an excellent hotel...the reviews will speak for themselves.....request a corner room!

Hi

I would suggest these options:

http://www.bedandbreakfast.com - 1871 house apt style B&B

The Sherry - Netherland is a nice place for honeymoon, I am not sure about kitchenette.

The Buckingham - has a penthouse suite that looks nice.

Roger Williams- Benjamin- Giraffe

Midtown is the most popular area to stay, but you can really stay anywhere.

Wyman House (http://www.wymanhouse.com) might be worth considering, though it's on the Upper West Side rather than Midtown (not a problem as transport connections are good, including a bus stop right outside the door!). The price should be well within your budget.

It's described as a B&B, but what you actually get is a luxurious apartment with comfortable and spacious rooms, a fully-fitted kitchen and enormous bathroom. (We stayed in the Versailles room). The owners live on the premises, so it feels very secure, but respect your privacy.

There is no one "best" location. It depends upon your likes/dislikes really. If you tell us more about yourselves (what you like to do, whether you want a more casual trip or are intending on doing a lot of fine dining, theater etc.)

There are a few kinds of apartment hotels:

>a traditional hotel that has some suites--this would require your phoning or emailing for details and prices from larger hotels like the Hiltons (or any hotel you like)

>an all suite hotel

The http://www.affinia.com chain has 7 hotels, all with rooms that will have kitchenette. The most upscale is the Benjamin in midtown east (not far from Rockefeller Center) but the Affinia Gardens is also very nice and somewhat newly renovated. It's on the edge of midtown and the upper east side, a bit more residential area but also near more "local" shops and restaurants.

Other all suite hotels that are nice include:

the San Carlos

the Blakely (not all suites but some)

the Kimberly

>then there are townhouses (smaller buildings that were once single family homes) that function as inns.

1871house.com mentioned above is one of those and is on the upper east side nearish the Affinia Gardens. These inns have more charm and sometimes extra features like outdoor space, but the downside is they don't usually offer daily maid service (maybe once a week since you're staying for 2 weeks) and there's no "front desk" or concierge for making reservations etc. Some other very nice smaller "inns" with apt like suites are:

on the upper west side, another nice residential area

http://innnewyorkcity.com

http://countryinnthecity.com

http://wymanhouse.com

in Greenwich Village

http://west-eleventh.com

http://abingdonguesthouse.com

http://www.gvhabitue.com/

>last, there are some regular apartments. One that I know others have enjoyed which has a great view is

http://bigapplegetaway.com

but it doesn't seem to be available for 2 weeks in May.

This co.

http://www.hotelaka.com/

has some gorgeous looking apartments in very nice locations (I especially like the Central Park location) but I don't know anyone who's stayed there so can't vouch for whether they're as good as they look. They are quite expensive vs. other options but probably would fit your budget.
