The Ritz-Carlton has long been synonymous with upscale luxury, and the Ritz-Carlton Battery Park boasts all the sumptuous hallmarks of this famous hotel chain. From the sophisticated, sun-washed lobby to the plush rooms, the Ritz-Carlton offers a harmonious blend of traditional furnishings, modern amenities and, as always, the impeccable service for which the chain is so well known. Best of all is the hotel’s waterfront location, near verdant Battery Park on the breezy tip of Manhattan, a short cab ride away from the heart of Manhattan, yet worlds apart, with soothing parkland and a riverfront esplanade just steps from the lobby. The elegant rooms feature city or waterfront views; some even have telescopes so that you can get a close-up look at the Statue of Liberty. You can also partially open the room windows, the better to bask in the cool river breezes. You’ll feel on top of the world at the hotel’s splendid, and appropriately named, Rise Bar, where you can gaze down at the riverfront with cocktail in hand.
