The Peninsula has a traditional New York vibe, and it’s not just because it’s right off Central Park on Fifth Avenue (which, it should be noted, is as desirable a New York location as it gets). As you enter the lobby and make your way up the double stairwell, the bustle of the city dissipates, replaced by soft neutral tones, quiet conversations, and more space than you could have imagined was possible in New York City. It’s unquestionably one of the most sought-after properties in the city, yet it’s far from expensive. When you arrive at the airport, you’ll instead discover a group of well-traveled business people, many of whom are using their platinum corporate credit cards to pay for their stay.
