New York City's luxury hotel scene just keeps growing — later this year, a new property on the Upper East Side is set to shake up the well-appointed neighborhood on behalf of well-to-do travelers looking for a high-end hotel.
The Surrey, A Corinthia Hotel, is now accepting reservations for stays from Sept. 1 on. We've had our eyes on this property for a while, and it even snagged a spot on our list of the most anticipated hotel openings of 2024.
The property is conveniently situated on East 76th Street near the beauty of Central Park and all the shopping opportunities that Madison Avenue offers. The original Surrey Hotel dates back to 1926, and over the years it's been a favorite of the rich, famous and powerful. Prominent figures like John F. Kennedy and Bette Davis were known to be frequent guests.
Though it's a historic property with plenty of old-school charm, The Surrey is currently undergoing a thorough revitalization and modernization. It will be Corinthia's only hotel in the U.S. — but it certainly won't lose any of the luxury amenities or service the European brand is known for.
Once open, The Surrey will have 70 guest rooms, 14 private residences and 30 suites, four of which will feature unique layouts and decor inspired by Central Park bridges. The interior redesign is being overseen by Martin Brudnizki, the award-winning firm behind other iconic New York hotels like The Beekman, The Fifth Avenue Hotel and Hotel Fouquet's New York.
Beyond the rooms, Casa Tua, the on-site restaurant, will excite visitors to New York City and Upper East Side residents alike. Casa Tua will be the first New York outpost of the famed Miami-based Italian culinary empire.
The Surrey will also host a small but impressive spa designed by Advanced MedAesthetic Partners (better known as simply AMP). The spa will have two treatment rooms, a steam room, a sauna and a gym.
How to book: Rates appear to start at $1,200 per night for a 366-foot Deluxe King room and $2,150 for a Junior Suite, which clocks in at 506 square feet.
Earlier this year, the Warren Street Hotel, another New York City hotel from our list of the most exciting openings in 2024, started welcoming guests. Located in Tribeca, the Warren Street Hotel offers a hodgepodge design aesthetic full of diverse textures and patterns that strike a great contrast to the sleek, clean lines of The Surrey (and, really, with hotels all across town).
This shows that in a city as diverse as New York, there's room for every type of traveler ... especially those with a little cash to burn.

The daily service, a codeshare with Delta, is scheduled to begin on October 27.

When I found out I was pregnant with twins in 2019, my first thought was, "We won't fit in our apartment." At the time, my husband, our 2-year-old, and two dogs were already living in a cramped one-bedroom apartment in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
Marriott's Luxury Group hotels want travelers to New York City to arrive and depart in sky-high style this summer — and by that, I mean a helicopter ride over the city's breathtaking skyline.
Queens's skinny, 11-mile-long beach peninsula of Rockaway Beach, on the south side of Long Island, was known in the early 20th century as New York’s Playground. That's thanks to its amusement park, clapboard bungalows, and grand boardwalk resorts, all once frequented by the Vanderbilts and Astors. These days, you won’t find the brahmin—but you will find a vibrant New York City beach destination with waterside burger and seafood shacks (bring your appetite), bars with live music, and, nearby, the timeless South Brooklyn landmark that is Coney Island. Easily accessible from Manhattan—it’s just an hour’s drive or an enjoyable 45-minute ferry ride from Wall Street’s Pier 11—the Rockaways are a perfect summer surfing haven complete with subway access.
As dynamic and exciting as New York City is, America's biggest and boldest metropolis can feel a little overwhelming — and crowded — at times. Fortunately, you'll find an array of bucolic yet sophisticated towns relatively close by.
