Columbia University Medical Center is one of the nation's leading academic medical institutions, home to the Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons and part of the NewYork-Presbyterian system. The centre is a world pioneer in heart surgery and organ transplantation, and its neurological institute is regarded as one of the finest in the world. Hotels in Washington Heights and Morningside Heights serve families visiting the uptown campus, while Midtown options offer additional comfort.
Our Picks — New York City
Midtown — Fifth Avenue
A sanctuary of calm above the Fifth Avenue crowds. Sprawling suites with fireplaces, a three-story spa, and a Japanese-inflected restaurant that alone justifies the trip. The pinnacle of Manhattan luxury.
Greenwich Village
A literary-chic boutique tucked into the heart of the Village. Intimate rooms with brass fixtures, an espresso bar that doubles as a scene, and a location that puts you steps from Washington Square Park.
Williamsburg, Brooklyn
Brooklyn's coolest hotel delivers on every front — rooftop bar with Manhattan skyline views, a ground-floor taqueria that draws locals, and rooms that nail the industrial-meets-cozy aesthetic. The neighbourhood location means you're in the thick of Williamsburg's best restaurants and vintage shops.
DUMBO, Brooklyn
Eco-luxury with genuinely spectacular views of the Manhattan skyline and Brooklyn Bridge. The rooftop pool is one of the best in the city, the sustainability credentials are real (not greenwashing), and DUMBO puts you walkable to Brooklyn Bridge Park and the waterfront.
Financial District
A restored 1883 landmark with a soaring nine-story Victorian atrium that stops you in your tracks. Tom Colicchio's restaurant on the ground floor is legitimately excellent, and the Financial District location — once considered a drawback — now means peaceful weekends and easy access to the Brooklyn Bridge and Seaport District.
Meatpacking District
Straddling the High Line like a concrete periscope over the Hudson, The Standard is still one of Manhattan's most photogenic hotels. Floor-to-ceiling windows in every room, Le Bain rooftop bar, and a Meatpacking location that puts you at the doorstep of Chelsea Market and Whitney Museum.
