Luxury hotels, hotel suites and fine dining restaurants in New York City

Travel in New York City 

 The city of New York has long been revered as a world center of gastronomic culture, home to some of the world’s most renowned chefs and destination restaurants that define global trends, set standards and drive conversation around food and drink.  

 This is a city where food and drink isn’t just part of the culture – it arguably is the culture. From refined and sophisticated Michelin-starred restaurants to inventive cuisine that straddles different culinary cultures, foods of uncountable ethnic origins – and not forgetting its delis, bakeries, bagels or pizza – all of its edible delights authentically bring to life the cultural melting pot of New York’s varied and huge population.

Live the slow life, in the fast pace of the city: Relais & Châteaux in New York 

 Our restaurants and luxury hotels in New York, and, in turn, our restaurateurs and hoteliers, all share the Relais & Châteaux ethos of offering a warm welcome and a personal touch – preserving the endangered art of hospitality by people that genuinely love hosting guests. All of our properties also revere the cultural and culinary history they have inherited. 

 Together, it all comes together as a distinct ethos that we describe as l’art de vivre (the fine art of living). It’s a concept born from our beginnings as an association of independent operators – the original group found they shared common interests in preserving their way of life, and that has found similarly passionate individuals around the world ever since. We hope you appreciate life in the slow lane when you visit somewhere as fast-paced as New York City. 

Sensitive to their surroundings: our eco-friendly hotels and restaurants 

 All of our properties, their owners and staff teams are dedicated to preserving the beauty and uniqueness of each property and the community they are part of. While part of a global movement, they keep a local perspective and seek to protect and preserve their way of life, the landscapes that surround them, the food and drink traditions and the local people that maintain those traditions.  

 In that way, every hotel and restaurant is at the heart of its local community. It’s perhaps easier to see this form of sustainability in action with our hotels, with many keeping their own kitchen gardens or maintaining green spaces, woodland and forest beyond their own property. But in cultivating close relationships with farmers, fishers, growers and other producers, even our gourmet restaurants in Manhattan uphold these values, ensuring that they source ingredients as close as possible to New York to keep travel and carbon dioxide emissions down.
