Virgin Holidays + HIP Hotels Handpicked Favourites for the Trendiest New York Breaks

Those “in the know” people at Virgin Holidays + Hip Hotels offer an unparalleled insight into the very best New York City has to offer. From urban boltholes tucked away in the most exclusive addresses to staying in the heart of the party scene, there’s an array of tantalising choices within the VHip New York portfolio.

For those wanting a glimpse into the NYC Private Members scene, guests can stay at the highly exclusive Soho House New York and make the most of the famous rooftop pool, Cowshed Spa and cinema, usually only reserved for Soho House New York members. And as the hotel is situated in the uber-cool Meatpacking district of the City, some of the trendiest bars restaurants are just a short walk away across the cobbles.

Fans of New York’s bustling Midtown will love the City Club hotel, a small urban retreat where duplex suites offer a bedroom accessible by a winding staircase and the ceiling is an ornate, late-Victorian affair. The City Club hotel suite is tipped by VHip insiders as one of the most glamorous hotel rooms in New York. And with Grand Central Station, 5th Avenue shopping and Times Square just around the corner, it’s perfect for NYC first-timers wanting to soak up the famous landmarks.

If style is essential, design-boffs will love that the interior of 60 Thompson was masterminded by Thomas O’Brien, who past work includes apartments for Giorgio Armani and Donna Karan. 60 Thompson is in the heart of SoHo and summer guests benefit from the rooftop pool and buzzing terrace bar, making this hotel as NYC destination in itself.

Hotel on Rivington is easily spotted in the Lower East Side – it’s a shiny glass and steel tower in a neighbourhood of tenement buildings. The perfect location for foodies, right on the Hotel on Rivington doorstep is an array of classic New Yorker food shops, from pickles to donuts. And the nearby tenement museum is always a must-see when in residence in the Lower East Side.
