New York’s hotel boomlet continues as flagship brands make their big Manhattan debut while smaller, indie brands bring a bit of energy to the outer boroughs. With so many dynamic new properties opening, there is something for every taste and budget.
Our list includes a sleek spot in the heart of Manhattan, a newcomer that has popped up on Roosevelt Island, and a hotel located in the former train yards on the city's west side.
For other notable hotel openings, read more below.
Aman New York
Midtown
There was a time when the Aman name was strictly synonymous with secluded resort destinations; Aman Tokyo was proof that the top of a city-center skyscraper could offer its own sense of seclusion. And Aman New York is still another chapter in the evolution of this top-tier hospitality brand: a self-contained world of luxury right in the heart of Manhattan, on 57th Street at 5th Avenue.

The Hotel Chelsea
Chelsea
There was never any question the legendary Hotel Chelsea would eventually face a significant update; it’s good for the Chelsea, and for New York, that it fell to Sean MacPherson to do it, along with partners Ira Drukier and Richard Born. MacPherson’s other hotels around town — the Marlton, the Bowery, the Maritime and more — help usher the romance of old New York into the modern era in a way that’s nostalgic but also authentic. And in the Chelsea, in particular, there’s much to be nostalgic about.

Graduate New York
Roosevelt Island
The Graduate hotels tend to play an outsized role in the hospitality scenes of the college towns they call home, but this one stretches the traditional definition of “college town” just a bit. Even many New Yorkers are still unaware that Roosevelt Island is home to the Cornell Tech campus, a satellite of the Ithaca-based Ivy League university. Graduate Roosevelt Island is the island’s only hotel, and in typical Graduate style it’s dedicated to the campus that it serves.

The Ned NoMad
NoMad
Broadway’s 1903-vintage Johnston Building was, in an earlier incarnation as the NoMad Hotel, instrumental in putting this neighborhood on the map for present-day New Yorkers. And now it’s the site of another step in the neighborhood’s evolution: The Ned NoMad, a members’ club and luxury boutique hotel that’s sister to the original Ned in the City of London.

Pendry Manhattan West
Manhattan West
For their first hotel in New York, Pendry — the urban luxury-hotel imprint of the Montage Resorts brand — is staking out new territory. Manhattan West is part of the huge Hudson Yards Redevelopment that’s changed the face of Midtown’s west side, and the Pendry Manhattan West, occupying an undulating glass tower by architects Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, shifts the city’s luxury-hospitality center of gravity a bit further towards the Hudson.
