Bluer Than Velvet

Whether you're in town on business or here to experience the hustle and bustle of The Big Apple, this Upper East Side apartment is the place to be if browsing museums, dining at gourmet restaurants and boutique shopping are all on your to-do list. When you're not strolling through Central Park – ten minutes on foot – or visiting the galleries on Museum Mile – the Frick Collection, Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Guggenheim are all within walking distance – you can relax and unwind on the plush velvet sofa in the cosy living room. The bedroom is bright and super stylish, and we love the high ceilings in each room – they're thirteen feet tall and give this home a great sense of space. Though the kitchen is compact, it's still got everything you need to whip up light breakfasts and lunches, and there's even a desk if you need to catch up on work emails. We think it's perfect for a couple or solo travellers wanting to stay in one of the city's most exclusive neighbourhoods.
