New York City – The Big Apple – has always been a playground for luxury travelers seeking the best of culture, cuisine, and cosmopolitan living. While it’s easy to get caught up in the bustling energy of Times Square or the chic elegance of Fifth Avenue, there are countless exclusive experiences to enjoy in NYC.
That being the case, here are some luxury travel tips for your next New York City adventure, that will help you to have the most amazing time yet.
- Choose an exclusive accommodation
Begin your NYC adventure in style by booking a suite in one of the city’s luxury hotels, of which there ae many, no matter which neighborhood you want to be based in. The iconic Plaza Hotel offers opulent accommodations that blend classic elegance with modern comfort, and The Lucerne Hotel is a grand example of old New York charm located on the Upper West Side, for example. Choosing the right hotel with the right vibe, will be sure to get your trip off to a great start.
- Think about fine dining
Indulge your palate at one of NYC’s Michelin-starred restaurants. Enjoy the exquisite French cuisine at Le Bernardin, or relish the innovative Japanese delicacies at Masa. If you’re exploring the Upper West Side, don’t miss a gastronomic adventure at Jean-Georges, known for its stellar food and views of Central Park.
- Take in a private art tour
Instead of navigating crowded museums, arrange a private art tour. Enjoy the treasures of the Metropolitan Museum of Art or the Museum of Modern Art in the company of an art expert who can ensure you see the best pieces and come to understand the themes and ideas behind them. For a unique experience, visit the lesser-known but equally impressive Neue Galerie, home to a remarkable collection of early 20th-century German and Austrian art and design.

NYC is synonymous with world-class shopping. Beyond the luxury boutiques of Fifth Avenue, consider a personal shopper or a private after-hours shopping experience at Bergdorf Goodman or Saks Fifth Avenue where you will be presented with some of the highest quality clothes, perfumes, shoes, accessories, and much more besides, in a calm, relaxing and informative environment.
- Explore the high-end wellness industry
The city’s wellness scene is booming. From cutting-edge treatments at luxury spas to private yoga classes overlooking the city, there are plenty of ways to rejuvenate and relax when you’re in New York. Aire Ancient Baths, located in a restored factory in Tribeca, offers a decadent bathing experience that’s not to be missed, and which is a particular treat for weary travelers who are looking to rest and recuperate.
