 |  | New York City - Perfect Hotels for Power Shoppers Wednesday, December 20, 2006 There's no better place for a power shopper than the Big Apple. Whether you are headed for tony department stores or trendy boutiques, we have the perfect hotel for you to prop up your tired feet and revel in your finds.
If you are planning to shop the famous stores along Fifth Avenue, where you will find Bergdorf Goodman, Henri Bendel, Gucci, and Carrie Bradshaw's favorite shoe stores, Manolo Blahnik and Jimmy Choo, we recommend The Belvedere Hotel New York (West 48th St between 8th and 9th Ave), the San Carlos Hotel (50th St between Lexington and 3rd Ave), the Hotel Grand Union New York (East 32nd St between Madison and Park Avenues), the Roosevelt Hotel New York (corner of 45th and Madison), or the Flatotel New York (West 52nd St between 6th and 7th Avenues), known to insiders as "The Flat." Worried you won't fit all of your bags and yourself into your NYC hotel room? No worries at The Flat. The rooms are so big, you'll want to move in, so you'll have plenty of room to spread out your goodies and admire them. Prefer the fashionable East Side? Pamper yourself at The Kimberly Suites Hotel (East 50 St between 3rd and Lexington), just steps away from Park Avenue and the world- renowned Madison and Fifth Avenue shops.
If your taste runs more toward trendy boutiques, you're just a quick cab ride away from these hotels to the Flatiron District, SOHO, or Greenwich Village.
Want to be away from the hustle and bustle of midtown Manhattan, but still within minutes of shops, restaurants and museums? We recommend The Lucerne Hotel (West 79th St between Amsterdam Ave and Broadway), ideally situated in the eclectic Upper West Side. |
