Eight years ago, I had the luxury to have an extended stay at the Conrad Miami. The modern luxury and the excellent staff made me fall in love with this brand under the Hilton umbrella. Every Conrad that I’ve visited has felt different, but one thing is constant: I always feel special. I recently got to stay at the Conrad New York located in the heart of downtown New York City. All about my experience:
The Scene
Although the Conrad New York is in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Downtown NYC, it feels like a calm oasis as you walk up the escalators to their futuristic lobby. With high glass ceilings, neutral colors, and warm welcome, you are taken to a place of zen. The hotel is walking distance to many of the hot spots in Downtown NYC such as the World Trade Center and Battery Park.
The Rooms
Two options: do I hang out in my room all day or do I go out and explore? The rooms at the Conrad New York are spacious and comfortable. Ask for a room with a river view to take in the skyline. I wanted to open the blinds and take in the sights, but I couldn’t pull the blinds up. When I was checking out, I brought it up to the front desk, and they told me that it was intentional. However, a staff member can come up and pull the blinds up… Now you know!
The Food
Make sure to add brunch at Atrio to your list when staying at Conrad New York and order the lobster eggs benedict. It’s the ultimate luxury of succulent lobster, topped with a poached egg and decadent caviar. Looking for something a bit lighter? Order the avocado toast topped with fresh microgreens and fragrant radishes.
Loopy Doopy Rooftop Bar
If traveling in warmer months, make sure you have a drink at the hotel’s Loopy Doopy Rooftop Bar. Order one of their prosecco popsicle cocktails and take in the view of the Hudson River and the surrounding skyline.
Conrad New York: The Verdict
If you are looking for a luxury hotel in Downtown NYC, the Conrad is a great choice. Excellent service, spacious rooms, and central location make it a great place to stay when you’re visiting the big apple.
