Virgin Holidays View
Very well located – 57th Street in case you hadn’t guessed! – this recently refurbished Holiday Inn offers comfortable, spacious and well-equipped accommodation just steps from a huge variety of New York attractions. It also boasts one of the few outdoor swimming pools in the city, set on the south tower’s rooftop with sweeping views of the skyline to admire whilst lounging on the umbrella-spangled sun terrace. The Skylight Lounge is a great meeting place and open from noon ‘til midnight. For eats, Gotham Café serves a delicious continental breakfast with lunch-time diners also catered for. Via Strada is the hotel’s own Italian restaurant, again situated in the South Tower, at lobby level. Close by, you’ve got some superb shopping with Tiffany’s, Niketown and 57th Street boutiques at your disposal. There are also plenty of museums to explore and a tramway for exploring some of the city’s fascinating suburbs.
