New York offers a luxurious selection of five star hotels, from the old world grace of The Carlyle, Stanhope, newly renovated Plaza, or the modern and beyond extravagant Four Seasons, Mandarin Oriental and Ritz Carlton at Battery Park. A depressing selection of mid-level corporate or family hotels where the best mantra to follow is “location, location, location,” look into these on Orbitz. In addition to cover the top of the list, ee offer a handful of "Inns" where price, comfort and value conjoin.
