Not to mention the types of hotels on offer, from small boutiques and budget boltholes to luxury suites.

Check-in for showstopping Manhattan skyline views from across the East River in Brooklyn. Stay for the creative Williamsburg location, friendly five-star service, and clean, bright, modern rooms with artistic appeal. It cuts a striking figure, set in a striking modern 23-storey tower with a white lattice steel frame, lauding it over the historic Brooklyn landscape. Here, every inch is designed to maximise the view: each of the 183 rooms features floor-to-ceiling windows and a spacious balcony. The 22nd-floor rooftop bar, Westlight, is an al fresco hotspot, especially come golden hour. There’s also an 18-metre pool and a winter spa with outdoor barrel saunas and cedar tubs for soaking in.
