Van der Woodsen

Considered one of New York's most exclusive areas, the Upper East Side is ripe with upscale boutiques, sophisticated eateries and quiet, tree-lined streets – and this pocket-sized apartment is in the thick of it all. Small but stylish, it's a cosy space to take a breather following a busy day out and about in the city. The kitchen is on the smaller side, but it still has everything you need to whip up some light bites, while the comfortable living area is just the ticket when your feet are tired from the day's adventures. We love the bedroom, in particular – it's bright and inviting, and the desk is a chic place to work if you're in town for business. When you're ready to explore, set off towards Museum Mile and visit world-famous galleries like the Metropolitan Museum of Art (fifteen minutes away) and the Guggenheim (a twenty-minute walk), then stroll among the leafy paths in Central Park (also reachable in fifteen). Finish the evenings off with a glass of bubbly at the wine bar right down the street before returning home and climbing into the sumptuous bed.
