Hotel Review
Boasting a coveted upscale Fifth Avenue address by Central Park, you know you're staying somewhere special the moment you walk into the lobby and clock its splendid Renaissance-style frescoes, as the white-gloved lift attendants whisk you to your room in creaky walnut-lined lifts. Opening in 1927, its history and traditional character is everywhere. The rooms and suites all have old style decor with high ceilings, decorative mouldings, fireplaces (non-operational) antique furniture, traditional artworks and marble bathrooms. Some enjoy impressive views of Fifth Avenue and Central Park, others the interior courtyard. The restaurant, the Harry Cipriani, is modelled after the orginial Harry's Bar in Venice, and its white-jacketed and bow-tied waiters, elegantly serve Italian classics. There is also a gym, barbers and hair salon.

The Sherry-Netherland
Built in 1927, this former residential hotel across from Central Park earns perfect scores for its "wonderful service," "perfect location," and rooms with a "million-dollar view of the park." Accommodations are individually decorated in tones of soothing beige, and all have marble bathrooms. Upon arrival, guests enjoy touches like fresh flowers, a handwritten note from the general manager, and Godiva chocolates in their rooms. Serving classic Venetian food and its signature Bellini, Harry Cipriani is run by the same family that owns Harry’s Bar in Venice. The "great people working here" include "the doorman and an elevator operator who always has a smile on his face, rain or shine." Editor's Pick: Gold List 2018

The Sherry-Netherland
This grand 38-storey apartment building with a coveted Fifth Avenue address gushes with history and character. Classic Art Deco detailing and an old-world ambience transport guests back in time. Fashioned after Harry’s Bar in Venice, Harry Cipriani restaurant is the place to see and be seen.
