What People Are Saying About Ritz-Carlton New York, Battery Park

Featured Review

The Scene – Boasting sweeping harbor views, this hotel features a more contemporary design for the venerable chain: light wood, pale colors, deco-inspired rooms and original pieces by New York artists like Ross Bleckner and Joseph Stashkeveich. Unique services and attention to detail exceed expectations; bath butlers, telescopes, and "power" tea service add to the luxury. It's popular with business travelers, but the romantic location, relaxed vibe and family-friendly offerings make it perfect for others as well. – – The Details – The 298 rooms, spread over 14 floors…

Editor's Tips

Look Good:
Unique offerings include fusion bento boxes, outdoor hibachi grill and barbecue, luxury tea service, champagne brunch and two-to-four person tasting "Tiers."

Don't miss the 14th-floor lounge, Rise, which offers 25-ounce tumbler drinks and the signature "Libertini."
The Extras:
A $125 fee allows your dog or cat to stay with you. The hotel provides bowls, a chew toy, biscuit, the New York Dog magazine, and a door hanger that alerts housekeeping of your extra guest.

Top of the line

It cannot get any better than this. If you are looking for high quality and exceptional service, this is the place to stay. Our children could not stay away from the telescope in our room. Just imagine, being able to see the Statue of Liberty up close as your view. Since we stayed for Thanksgiving, we were able to enjoy the meal they were offering for the holiday . It was scrumptious. Their lounge, Rise, on the 14th floor serves great drinks with a breathtaking view.

  • Pros: Wonderful experience
  • Cons: Away from fine stores
