5 hotels with views in New York City

1. Sheraton Tribeca New York Hotel (Our pick)

Of all the hotels with views in New York, the Sheraton Tribeca is one of the most iconic. It sits in Tribeca, a short walk from SoHo, the most classic shopping hub in the city, and from the iconic Little Italy and Chinatown.

It has 345 rooms and 24 suites equipped with a flat-screen TV, desk, coffee and tea service, iron and ironing board, free wifi, private bathroom with complimentary toiletries, and a kitchen area with fridge, toaster oven, and cutlery.

Why we like the Sheraton Tribeca New York Hotel

• The outdoor terrace at its club lounge and some of the upper-floor rooms offer stunning views of the Empire State and the Hudson River.
• It has an excellent restaurant, Bistro by Sheraton, serving à la carte dishes built on classic American cooking with a modern twist.
• It's very well connected to the rest of the city via the Canal Street subway station, just 250 meters away.

2. World Center Hotel

Right in the heart of the Financial District you'll find the World Center Hotel, one of the New York hotels with the best views if you want to stay just steps from One World Trade Center and the 9/11 Memorial and Museum.

The best spot in the hotel for taking in the skyscrapers is on the 20th floor, a restaurant called the View of the World Terrace Club with indoor and outdoor dining that serves American food and a well-chosen cocktail list.

When you need a moment to unwind, head to the Club Living Rooms, where drinks are free. The hotel has a gym and complimentary bottled water dispensers on every floor.

3. Pod 51 Hotel

One of the standout features of the Pod 51 Hotel, beyond its incredible views of the Midtown Manhattan skyline, is its multilingual concierge service, which organizes weekday outings and can point you toward the city's free activities.

It's considered one of the most exclusive yet affordable hotels in Manhattan with views. It also has an enviable location: less than a kilometer from Rockefeller Center and its Top of the Rock observatory, and St. Patrick's Cathedral.

Taking in the views of New York from its rooftop garden is genuinely worth every dollar.
