Hotels near the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum

This hotel really blends into its setting on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Situated on a sleepyt side street, the voco The Franklin New York is the first voco property in the United States, but its building dates back to 1929 and its past life has always involved hosting guests before becoming an IHG hotel property in 2021.  With its name in bright red, capital letters on exterior signage looking like a movie marquis, walking inside this hotel is like stepping into a high end New York City apartment building, smack dab in the glamorous Upper East Side. Here’s why. Why stay at voco The Franklin New York?  Upon entering The Franklin, you’ll spot two framed versions of blueprints of the building hung on each side of the inner walls, but it otherwise feels not like a hotel, but instead, a private, classy New York City residence.  Adjacent to the reception desk, the hotel’s lounge area has two large street facing windows amid soft couch seatings. A large white display case is adorned with books and home decor reflecting the voco brand’s mascot birds theme (a finch, an owl and a flamingo). Framed wall art of black and white New York scenes coincide with vibrantly colored furnishings, and it feels clean, and welcoming.  But the hotel’s Old New York vibe mingling with current New York City is the bedrock of this place. The building still has its original Otis elevator, with an elegant chassis and riding up as far up as the ninth floor. Upon check in, you’re given a coupon for your...

The large black awning nearly extending to the edge of the Park Avenue sidewalk between 61st and 62nd Streets feels very Upper East Side, and that tells you pretty much everything you need to know about the Loews Regency New York.  Guests swan into the lobby an air of confidence distinctive to this side of Central Park. The high ceilings are grand, but stacks of New York’s two major print newspapers hint at this hotels’ popularity among business travelers. However, the location, with Bloomingdales to the east and Central Park to the west, make this an ideal base from which to explore the Upper East Side’s famous high-end shopping, all with the comfort of a luxe and spacious room to rejuvenate you afterwards.  Why stay at the Loews Regency New York? Here, you’ll have the five-star experience in a charming older hotel, which has been hosting guests since it opened way back in 1963. While it’s recently been renovated, the old-timey details bleed through: hallways of all 21 floors are adorned with framed black and white photos of old New York, and strolling along them does evoke the sense that you’ve slipped back into a different era.  As for the contemporary touches, those are most present in the facilities, such as the Julien Farel Restore Salon & Spa or the adjacent Sant Ambroeus Coffee Bar, which serves desserts you've probably never heard of but need to try. What are the rooms like at the Loews Regency New York? The smallest rooms are the 250-square-foot Superior King,...

The Pierre, a Taj Hotel, is everything you want in a classic New York City stay, from sweeping views of Central Park to top-notch service that makes you feel special. This classic, five-star hotel sits right on the southeastern edge of Central Park at Fifth Avenue and 61st Street and is by far the best hotel stay I’ve had in the city. Its understated elegance is felt as soon as you walk into the lobby, which plays host to myriad lavish events throughout the year. Opened in 1930, the 41-story hotel with 189 small dog-friendly rooms and 76 apartments was modeled after Versailles by famed architects Schultze and Weaver (who also designed the Waldorf-Astoria) and boasts neo-Georgian accents, checkered marble floors, incredible ballroom spaces with grand staircases and a rotunda with murals hand-painted by American artist Edward Melcarth in 1976—one of the most romantic rooms I’ve seen in NYC. After my stay here, I can see why it’s been featured in films like First Wives Club, Meet Joe Black and Oceans 8. It’s also hosted luminaries like Coco Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld, Andy Warhol, Hubert de Givenchy, Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, Yves Saint Laurent, Barbra Streisand, Joan Collins (and many UN delegations) over the many decades and you can see them represented in the hotel’s incredible candid photos by Ron Galella that line its main hallway. But where The Pierre really shines is in the details, which make it feel like home. Check-in was a breeze with staff who welcomed me...

There are some NYC hotels that have, over time, become synonymous with the city itself. The Carlyle is one of those New York grand dames that still manages to feel as relevant today as when it first opened in 1930. The Carlyle, A Rosewood Hotel, (its official name) has a prime location in the center of the elegant Upper East Side. Located a block from Central Park, its central tower can be seen throughout the neighborhood—as intrinsically a part of the upscale area as the flowers of Park Avenue.  A large part of what’s helped maintain this hospitality icon’s relevance has been its charming, idiosyncratic public venues: Bemelmans Bar, Café Carlyle and—more recently—Dowling’s at the Carlyle. During a recent stay, I was most looking forward to being able to drop in to experience these classic New York spots without having to step outside. (Especially since it happened to be downpouring that night.)  With 192 rooms and suites, there is a wide array of options for a night here. We stayed in an Upper East Side Suite which had a separate sleeping area as well as a full kitchen—perfect for those interested in a longer stay. The minimal, Art Deco design felt both modern and timeless. Meanwhile, the full (but quite tiny) kitchen was a useful touch that made our time here feel more like a home away from home than a hotel stay—one of The Carlyle’s superpowers. Another big bonus of a night here is hopping into one of the historic gold-trimmed elevators and soaring up to your throwback...

Undeniably lavish, minus the pomp, The Mark does everything right (and makes it seem easy, too) Known for its impressive celebrity clientele, The Mark beckons the fashion-conscious with near-tangible magnetism. Why? Because ostentatious aspects of design are married with more contemporary and zealous aesthetic choices. Yes, there’s black-and-white decor and yes there are marble features, but it’s all punctured by distinctive orange hues in the form of flora, wallpapers and soft furnishings. In short, it looks really, really nice.  And the whole operation is slick and polished, from succinct check-in to simple check out. As for the suites, the bath is luxuriously deep and the wifi is speedy. Plus, it’s culinary wonderboy Jean-Georges Vongerichten who heads up the fine dining restaurant and bar offerings, so you can expect an eclectic menu with the likes of hamachi sashimi, Scottish salmon and parmesan-crusted chicken with artichokes and lemon-basil butter. Delicious. Neighborhood: A five-minute wander from Central Park and pretty close to the Guggenheim, The Met and the rest of Museum Mile, you’re perfectly located for a few days of culture. But while it may be the glistening streets of the Upper East Side that draws tourists and inner-state travellers to the hotel, it’s The Mark’s flamboyance that keeps them there.  Nearby: The Metropolitan Museum of Art: for creative inspiration Papaya King: to get your fill of hot dogs and syrupy papaya juice Bemelmen’s Bar: for a luxe...

Purpose-built as a hotel in the early 1900s, the ten-story Wales is a comfortable, convenient choice for a culture jaunt due to its proximity to Museum Mile. Tucked in the quietly affluent Carnegie Hill neighborhood just above Madison Avenue’s prime retail stretch, it’s also well placed for a posh shopping spree.

All quarters have recently been redecorated with designer wallpaper, sleek new bathrooms and HD TVs. Higher-floor rooms on the east side have Central Park views, but all guests can enjoy them on the large roof terrace. Two on-site restaurants (Italian spot Paola’s and mini-chain Sarabeth’s) provide meals and snacks. Rooms: 89.
