TripAdvisor has spoken—and New York City is officially home to not one, not two but three of the best hotels in the entire country. The travel platform just released its 2025 Travelers’ Choice Awards: Best of the Best Hotels, and NYC’s own Luma Hotel Times Square, The Evelyn Hotel and The Wallace made the coveted top 10 list for U.S. stays.

Coming in at number five, Luma Hotel Times Square delivers modern luxury right in the middle of the action. Think sleek, contemporary design, oversized windows with skyline views and a location that puts you steps from Broadway, Bryant Park and Grand Central. Reviewers rave about the warm service, quiet rooms (yes, really—in Times Square), and in-room robot butler, Alina, who drops off amenities with sci-fi flair.

Landing at number eight is The Evelyn Hotel in NoMad, which offers a charming mix of Art Deco style and boutique comfort. Housed in a historic 1903 building, the property has been stylishly renovated with custom furnishings, rainfall showers and a cozy ambiance that’s a world away from the chaos outside. Guests love the walkability factor—with Madison Square Park, Eataly and the Flatiron District all just blocks away.

Rounding out NYC’s showing at number 10 is The Wallace, an Upper West Side favorite for travelers itching for understated elegance without the Midtown frenzy. The all-suite hotel blends upscale finishes—plush bedding, marble bathrooms and high-end tech—with an air of relaxed sophistication. Plus, the hotel is within easy reach of Lincoln Center, Central Park and some of the city’s best museums and bakeries.

TripAdvisor’s annual Travelers’ Choice Awards are based on a full year of user reviews, highlighting the top 1% of hotels across its 1.6 million listings. That means every winning spot earned its place through consistent five-star praise from real travelers—no PR fluff required.
