Theodore Roszak's 35-foot gilded eagle - an original feature from the building's Embassy era - watches over the square from the newly added seventh floor.

In January 2027, British Airways is launching brand-new flights from London Heathrow Airport straight to Melbourne - aka the city that crowned best on the planet right now. BA's new route starts on January 9 2027, so there's still plenty of time to save up.

Aman New York stands apart in a city filled with five-star hotels, offering a serene, sanctuary-like experience with oversized suites and private terraces overlooking the skyline.

Bea is a neighborhood favorite. A mere 12-14 minute walk west from Times Square gives you enough distance to breathe normally again. Inside, it's low-lit and lively, with servers and bartenders who manage the pre-theater rush like they've seen it all a million times. The bar program is what sets Bea apart from others of its ilk with a short but sweet cocktail menu offering novelty and fun.

Earlier this week, former Howard Hughes CEO David Weinreb agreed to rent his West Chelsea penthouse for $177,500 a month, an eye-popping figure that followed a $95,000-a-month lease at a Naftali Group building on the Upper East Side in December. Data on trophy rentals is tough to pin down, but this is likely among the most expensive leases ever inked in New York City. The two hefty leases came as inventory for Manhattan's trophy rentals—which appraiser Jonathan Miller defines as the top 1 percent of the market, with rates starting at $25,000 a month—was down more than 40 percent year-over-year in January, as new leases climbed (albeit, at a more modest pace).

The Tusk Bar exudes old-guard Manhattan élán-the sort of room that could have doubled as a private clubhouse for the Vanderbilts and Rockefellers. The name is a wink to the Gilded Age fascination with exotic taxidermy, and the polished brass trim, elegant marble counter, and stuffed ostrich overlooking the salon would make any louche Robber Baron chortle into his Champagne flute.

Solo travel can be intimidating, but it also gives you total freedom. You can eat where you want, linger where you want and change plans on a whim.

The Best of the Best Awards are based on millions of reviews and ratings from October 2024 to September 2025.

In November, the hospitality space witnessed an especially high-profile implosion - Marriott's partnership with Sonder ended abruptly, leaving travelers who thought their lodging was secure in a much more precarious place. While this particular business arrangement did not pan out as expected, it's worth considering what it reflected: a moment for the hospitality industry where hotels and residential options - think Airbnb and Vrbo - began to converge.

U.S. News & World Report unveiled its annual Best Hotels rankings this week, spotlighting more than 31,000 properties across 400-plus destinations worldwide. While Hawaii's Four Seasons Resort Hualalai claimed the top U.S. spot for the second year running, New York made a strong showing thanks to Mandarin Oriental, New York , which earned a coveted place in the national top five.

The residence, sitting atop the 80th floor of 80 Columbus Circle, is priced at a whopping and aptly priced $80 million making this a true dream home far from most people's reality. Eva J. Mohr, a Senior Global Real Estate Advisor and associate broker at Sotheby's International Realty's East Side Manhattan Brokerage, is representing the listing for the penthouse at 80 Columbus Circle.

To shake things up and bring a little excitement to your routine, consider a hotel staycation. It's an ideal way to spruce up a month with few plans on the calendar, or to celebrate a special occasion. Logistics are minimal, meaning planning is a breeze compared to gearing up for an international or multi-leg trip, and there's no jet lag to worry about or days off needed.
