The high price of New York might get you down, but it doesn’t have to be that way when you check into these NYC hotels with the best free stuff. What if we told you there’s a prize behind the door of many of the Manhattan’s great hotels: free perks for hotel guests only—and we’re talking about more than the best spa hotels or hotels with indoor pools. These don’t even have to be the most over-the-top hotels in NYC. We found everything from swank toiletries (Le Labo at the Park Hyatt, anyone?) to free gym admission at Crunch (The Standard, East Village) and free snacks, wine, breakfasts, not to mention car rides. In fact, make the right choice, and you’ll be getting more perks for less money than if you stayed home. Here are a few of our favorites. RECOMMENDED: Full guide to the best hotels in NYC

NYC hotels with the weirdest perks

NYC hotels with the weirdest perks

A Big Apple vacation is sure to be anything but ordinary, so why not start it off right by picking one of the NYC hotels with the weirdest perks? Forget hotels with Jacuzzis or your run-of-the-mill spa hotels. With any great hotel stay, it really is all about the perks. And the weirder, the better. Sure, the most bare bones hotel can throw you the promise of intriguing toiletries, exotic coffee, or, you know, basic WiFi. And we’re not opposed to luxury hotels that up the ante with in-room snacks (hey, free Toblerone!), welcome beverages upon arrival, and 24-hour room service. But then there are New York hotels with amenities that you never even knew you wanted, from curated vinyl collections and on-demand Olympic athletes to a plethora of fireplaces and pink feather boas. We can call these perks “weird,” but we’re certainly not complaining. It’s New York. Thrill us. Delight us. We relish the weird. Normal is for the Midwest.
