A weekend away in New York can mean different things to different people. Some people may look for great Broadway shows, while others seek world-class shopping or dining. But one thing that everyone wants is a fantastic, New York boutique hotel to call their own.
In New York City, there's no shortage of amazing hotels that fit the bill, but every luxury hotel has different, special attributes that you should consider when planning your trip.
* Pick the neighborhood. While it's easy to get around the city by subway or taxi, Manhattan has a dozen unique neighborhoods to make your New York vacation perfect. Midtown is always popular with its proximity to Broadway and the Theater District, while SoHo, Tribeca and the West Village areas are notable for their trendy shopping and restaurants.
* Find a comfortable luxury hotel. Sure, you may only be in your room when you're not seeing the sights, but why stay in a cramped, uncomfortable hotel room? Look for a boutique hotel that offers luxury amenities like deep soaking tubs, marble bathrooms, iPod/iPhone docking stations and complementary in-room computers to use. Enjoy sweeping floor-to-ceiling views of New York, while staying in contemporary elegance and spacious hotel suites.
* Look for unique amenities. Any New York luxury hotel can have a concierge service, but what if you want special, personalized service? At the Trump SoHo Hotel, the signature Trump Attache services are available to all guests. From personal shopping at downtown boutiques to arranging a tour of SoHo's renowned art galleries, to a custom-stocked refrigerator prior to your arrival, virtually any request can be granted, no matter how specific. Guests can even enjoy personalized business cards and stationery, complimentary upon arrival.
* Find something family-friendly. Is it possible to find boutique New York hotel suites in a family-friendly hotel? The Trump SoHo Hotel not only has a pool, but offers swim lessons, as well as kid-sized robes and slippers. If you want to enjoy New York restaurants or elegant fine dining without the kids, Trump SoHo Hotel also offers trusted baby-sitting services. Oh, and kids get custom business cards, too. For those traveling with pets, guests will love their New York luxury hotel's pet services and red-carpet service as well, including plush dog beds, toys and blankets, fresh bottled water, dog-sitting and dog walking services.
New York is one of the best cities to visit and experience great restaurants, shopping and travel activities, so be sure to stay long enough to see it all. It all starts with the perfect New York luxury hotel with services and pampering to make you feel at home - your dream home, but that's a trade-off you'll just have to make.
