Warwick New York, USA

You'll be close to many of the popular sights and attractions including the Museum of Modern Art, Rockefeller Center and the designer shops on Fifth Avenue.

The hotel has a great Midtown location, but if you're looking to explore further afield, there are several subway lines within walking distance.

The hotel manages to hold onto its glamorous past through features like panelled walls, marble floors and traditional furnishing - but also has modern comforts. The black and bronze entrance with accompanying uniformed doorman leads through a revolving door to the stylish lobby, which sets the tone for the rest of the hotel.

Randolph's Bar & Lounge is a great spot for drinks (it currently doesn't serve food). Restaurant Murals on 54 is named after the artworks on display. It offers an à la carte and buffet breakfast, with Vietnamese cuisine later in the day. We loved the colourful murals created by illustrator Dean Cornwall.

Murals on 54: dishes include seafood pho and papaya salad. Open daily for breakfast, Tue-Sat for dinner.

Randolph's Bar & Lounge: drinks served daily, 5-11pm.
