Honeymoon in NYC

[RaininginDarling]

Hello. I'm hoping to get some accommodation recommendations for our honeymoon week in NYC next June.

We"re in our 50s and have both lived in the US so its not a first visit. The last time I was in NYC was a good 15 years ago though. My DP hasn't been for thirty!

We're hoping to find somewhere in an interesting location or a bit quirky or both. We're old enough to appreciate creature comforts however!

Any thoughts very welcome!

Giving this a tiny travel bump by adding I'm not a huge fan of either big hotels or the try-hard-to-be-trendy variety (looking at you, The Standard) 😆

Ha ha. I came on here to say The Standard High Line, then saw your last post!

Ha ha ha @genuinelyaskingforafriend - thank you! I'm sure its lovely but I have some irrational bad associated memories of the LA one amd so I'm now biased!

We stayed at the Ameritania on our honeymoon , nice hotel just off the theatre district and handy for underground etc

What's your budget?

Thank you for asking. We're thinking around £350 a night.

We loved the Library hotel.
Not cheap but worth it...they do cheese and wine every evening 5-7pm.

Have a look at Refinery near Bryant Park. It's a lovely hotel with a great rooftop bar. It smells amazing when you walk in. I could quite happily just sit in the lobby with a cocktail and a book. Quite possibly over budget though given the current FX rate but worth checking:

That must've been a great spot to stay! Thanks for suggesting. I think because we've both been to NYC many times (albeit last time a long time ago) we're thinking about getting to know other neighbourhoods. We both like to dander. Maybe the Village (because I've never stayed there) or meatpacking district. A good friend used to live on the Upper East so I have fond memories of it but times change and I'm interested to know what's what as I havent a scooby. :)

Oh, I remember reading about that place! Thanks for reminding me. Must look it up!

Thanks @HundredMilesAnHour - that's worth a look!

Also: if anyone has recommendations on alternatives to the big hotels, I'm keen to know more.

The Marlton Hotel? Good location near Washington SQ but rooms are small and still ££.

I would also look at Brooklyn!

Thanks @Myleakycauldron that's a good thought re: Brooklyn.

Ah fantastic OP - we did NYC as part of our honeymoon and had such a fab time!
