Hot Tip:

Make sure to have a date night at Nohu, the only rooftop bar in town. It’s known for its NYC-inspired cocktail menu, but it’s also a full-service restaurant, so you can sit down for a meal here as well.

Staying in one of the hotel’s suites also gives couples the chance to arrive via helicopter for the ultimate VIP romantic experience.

To really treat you and your spouse during your stay in NYC, visit the Ritz-Carlton Spa. It’s located underground to create a peaceful, quiet, and transformative atmosphere away from the chaos of the city.

After a day of pampering, head to the on-site restaurant, The Bazaar, to try gourmet Spanish-Japanese fusion dishes created by a renowned Michelin-starred chef.
