“‘If your fingers are crossed to bump into your favorite celebrity, The Greenwich Hotel is where to be,’ says Canal of this five-star hotel. Spearheaded by none other than Robert DeNiro, the property “hosts high-profile guests often enough that they had to put into place a rule about photographing their public spaces.”

Those craving a serene retreat from the city’s hustle and bustle can head to the on-site Japanese-inspired Shubui Spa. Canal also recommends the buzzy on-site restaurant Locanda Verde, which serves up Italian staples like homemade pasta. Last but not least, the hotel is home to 73 beautiful rooms (each individually designed), 11 suites, and two penthouses.” – Lauren Dana Ellman
