Having reached the top of a tower created centuries ago, I was met with the celestial sounds of a choir that floated to my ears from below.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&ldquo;Well, fine,&rdquo; I thought, assuming the song was imaginary &nbsp;&mdash; my mind easing me to the next plane. &ldquo;This is a memorable way to go. And good luck getting a gurney up here.&rdquo;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Once my body decided not to rebel with a degree of finality, I took note of my surroundings, which is to say the entirety of Munich. I saw a Ferris wheel in the distance. Old buildings and representations of old buildings that were leveled decades ago. Lights and people, and that choir, whose sound kept pulling my attention back to their singing of holiday songs. They took a break and a string quartet stepped into the space. They took turns performing, a pingpong of centuries-old music for voice and strings. And despite a week of rain, my view was clear in every direction.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">The next day, I felt like Jack Shephard in &ldquo;Lost.&rdquo; I told my familial travel crew, &ldquo;You won&rsquo;t believe what I saw. We have to go back.&rdquo; And like every other maniacal person who swears others should see what he&rsquo;s seen, I was left with an empty sack and a doubting audience. The following night, there was no performance on the balcony of the Marienplatz. What I&rsquo;d seen was, apparently, a singular moment &nbsp;&mdash; a brilliant bird that landed, perched and flew away.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">That said, this time of year in Bavaria offers opportunity to relish the resources of the region. Many pull from the past and are etched&nbsp;in stone. Some are ephemeral.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">That proved the theme of visiting in late November. This is a region with a complicated past. And one that has done its best to square the worst of its history. Art and history abound. As do opportunities to enjoy a holiday escape.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&ldquo;One can run away from anything but oneself,&rdquo; wrote Stefan Zweig, one of my favorite writers, who fled Austria for South America nearly a century ago.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">When my crew pulled into Mittenwald, a blizzard was on the way &mdash; evident because a salt truck slowed our progress into the town &nbsp;&mdash; and the sun&rsquo;s beams were gently nestling behind the mountains. Unlike Garmisch-Partenkirschen a half hour away, Mittenwald is not a tourism draw for its slate of activities. That said, one would be hard-pressed to find a better place to spend hours with the most mountainous of backdrops. A museum in town represents Mittenwald s dedication to the craft of making violins, but its hours are limited during the winter. The nearby Leutasch Gorge is a gorgeous hike, especially during a blizzard. Tread its metal frame cautiously. But tread it, just the same. The view in the gorge is cinematic with a little snow.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Mittenwald, the town, boasts lovely painted building fa&ccedil;ades and an unparalleled natural backdrop. It offers much for those seeking a quiet retreat. Much of the town was closed during my visit, but Bellini was a revelatory restaurant run by a German woman and her husband, an Italian chef. And I cannot overstate the comfort and accommodating nature of the Hotel Bichlerhof. Mittenwald is a scenic launch point for the Bavarian Alps.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">We hit Mittenwald from Salzburg. A Friday evening flight from Houston places one in Munich midmorning on Saturday. Rather than a decompression day, we flung ourselves into a car and drove about minutes to the Austrian city.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Simply put, hours aren&rsquo;t sufficient for Salzburg, but that spell does offer time to mill about a Christmas market unlike anything I&rsquo;ve encountered. A sprawling affair, it feels like the grandest comic convention, with holiday handicrafts rather than Doctor Who totems. The market is nestled at the foot of a mountain that hosts the Hohensalzburg Fortress, which houses a sprawling museum, a panoramic view of the city and, if one is inclined I&rsquo;m always inclined, a minor puppetry museum. No lonely goatherd puppets preserved here, but the puppetry tradition remains intact from that which made a major appearance in &ldquo;The Sound of Music.&rdquo;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Worth noting, our immediate transfer from Munich to Salzburg had to do with my wife&rsquo;s and daughter&rsquo;s affinity for that film, which holds only a distant sway over the citizens of Salzburg. Here, I should credit Panorama tours, because I fumbled and booked a &ldquo;Sound of Music&rdquo; tour a week later than we were actually in the city. The tour company adapted and took us a week early. By all means ask for Mitch, an Australian who landed in Austria three decades ago. He offers grand and arcing city context along with the various fountains once filled with curtain-clad children, tree-lined roads full of dangling urchins and other spaces prominently featured in the film.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Salzburg has done some soul-searching over the years. A statue of Herbert von Karajan stands behind a fence. One of the greatest conductors of the th century nevertheless had dubious affiliations in the s. On the flip side is a Stefan Zweig Center, which had limited hours but attempts to honor a writer who adored Austria and was ruined by its descent into the Third Reich. Zweig fans can find his home, though it&rsquo;s not open for visitation. That didn&rsquo;t stop me from a grueling climb to at least stare, just a moment, at Zweig&rsquo;s home before he fled a city about which he wrote so reverently and eloquently.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">All countries deal with a pushpull about their perceived directions. Germany&rsquo;s historical blight is unavoidable. It is also something the nation has seemingly dealt with openly and publicly.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Our guide at Dachau &mdash; the Munich-based work camp that, due to its design, served also as a death camp &mdash; said the nation has perhaps done more than any other to recognize the problems of its past. Dachau as a tourism destination certainly offers a sobering opportunity for contemplation.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Here, I feel some need to offer some tour advice: My crew at this stage was two seniors, two middle-aged folks and a teenager. I looked into private tours that included transit from Munich to the site. Those options often run $-$. Instead, we bought a family ticket on the S-Bahn rail, around $ for the group, and took a free bus transfer. We then signed up for a tour that cost Euros per person.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">We made the right decision. I cannot speak more reverently and admiringly about the tour led by Colinne Bartel, an American who delved deep into the history that led to the Third Reich and the history of Dachau. Her tour set a high bar for being informative and contemplative. It also came with a reading list upon conclusion.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">There&rsquo;s a certain silliness viewing a Shepard Fairey exhibition in Germany, Fairey being a street artist in the States. But the A Gallery in Munich hosted several walls of the American artist&rsquo;s work.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&ldquo;Art here is free,&rdquo; the woman at the desk of A Gallery said. &ldquo;Art should be free for everyone.&rdquo;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Museums are not hard to find in Munich &mdash; fling a stollen and you&rsquo;ll hit one. The Pinakothek is a three-part art museum institution that offers art in its three locations that falls into the categories of old, less old and modern.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">But outside the big institutions, I cannot overly recommend the smaller gallery Lenbauchhaus, which has a Blue Rider exhibition for a few years to come. The show pulls works by Wassily Kandinsky and some of his contemporaries, who formed the Blue Rider collective. Downstairs at the gallery was more experimental work by a variety of artists, including Gerhard Richter.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Not for everybody, but Ceal Floyer&rsquo;s sound installation &ldquo;&rsquo;Til I get it right&rdquo; was a revelation. The piece is set in an open room, painted white, with a loop of a Tammy Wynette song snippet &hellip; What do we do here, on this rock, other than try and try again to get it right? Certainty is the domain of future failures. The work provided space for melancholy contemplation.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Munich also offers ample oddball spaces. There&rsquo;s a hunting and fishing museum. As a fan of clowns, I felt pulled to another museum honoring the great entertainer Karl Valentin. Valentin should be as renowned as Charlie Chaplin, on account of his being a writer, actor, director who projected vaudevillian comedy from stage to screen. A small space adjacent to Munich&rsquo;s Altstadt offered a deep-dive history of Valentin&rsquo;s life. He made a strong impression and then was forgotten. The relics and video in this space suggested a brilliant performer whose work feels ageless today.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Germany, to its credit, presents itself as valuing a full breadth of the past, even the uncomfortable parts. The Dokumentationzentrum Munchen offered a panoramic history of Germany&rsquo;s dubious era between the end of World War I and the rise of the Third Reich. For the next few months, it offers more than a recap of what happened in a succinct timeline. &ldquo;To Be Seen: Queer Lives -&rdquo; provided glimpses into the lives of entertainers during a period of brilliant art that was destroyed by the rise of the Reich.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">The country has found an admirable unflinching space with its past. While also offering a path toward the present and future.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">But the past resonates heavily. A few days after the trip up the tower and hearing the chorus at the Marienplatz, I dropped into the Asamkirche. The church defies easy description. Imagine an old-school version of Trump chic, but informed by a sincerity about religion rather than the cynicism of opportunism. The church was full of rococo detail, gilded snakes and skulls and cherubs. A skeleton in the entryway holds a set of scissors to cut the strings attached to a cherub. We are not, these figures suggest, in control of our fates.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Moments after my arrival, an organ pushed out sound as though it sought to announce my arrival. In actuality, it was a rehearsal for a program to come some days later. But what a pleasant surprise to enjoy deftly performed music here.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">The visit was full of the past and present, of radiance and contemplation, of the lightness of snow and the heaviness of stone, magic and sadness. Amid complicated times in a complicated world, it felt representative, historically and socially.</p>');

Initially slated for a May release, fans have had to wait patiently for Forspoken, but despite a pushed-back launch, the developer has been making sure to provide players with plenty of interesting details and insights into the game in the meantime.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">One of the most recent glimpses shown during the December Gameplay Showcase has revealed an exciting new look at Frey in action in some surprising locations. Alongside a deeper dive into what drives the displaced New Yorker in her quest, the world of Athia that she s been mysteriously plunged into, and some combat sequences showcasing her diverse magical talents, players saw Frey taking on enemies in the streets of New York City in an intriguing sequence as she battles a Tanta in one of Forspoken s levels.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">When players first became familiar with the overarching narrative of Forspoken, they may have assumed that they d only get to spend a short amount of time in New York City before protagonist Frey is transported to the mysterious and malignant world of Athia. Gamers probably thought the vast majority of the game would involve them exploring this fantastical land plagued by the disruptive Break, and there wouldn t be a chance for them to unleash Frey s accumulated magical abilities in a modern setting. Now, thanks to the gameplay footage revealed as part of the Showcase, fans have seen some unexpected elements of Forspoken.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Tasked with taking on the corrupted Tantas who have come to rule Athia with an iron fist, Frey must work her way through each formidable foe and battle their various special abilities, like Tanta Olas all-encompassing illusion magic. This thrusts Frey into a fake version of the New York City she s so desperate to return to throughout Forspoken, and once the homesick hero realizes the deception the facade melts away and a fractured, sinister copy of her hometown takes its place. Frey must then fight through the environment as it continues to turn against her, undoubtedly leading to a final confrontation with the antagonistic Tanta.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Fans have been able to see Frey in action before in previously released footage and trailers, and her dynamic movements and diverse abilities definitely seem like one of Forspoken s most exciting elements. However, up until now, most of these energetic sequences have shown off Frey in the wide open spaces of Athia or battling many of its mythical beasts, so the glimpse of New York City and the opportunity to leap between its buildings offers a nice contrast to the fantastical setting of the main game. Although it seems like this fabricated metropolis will only feature in a small section of Forspoken as Frey fights Tanta Olas and her minions, it s still an interesting revelation.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Gamers can now get their hands on Forspoken, albeit in a demo format, following an official announcement trailer during The Game Awards . The developer has been keen to show off many aspects of the game ahead of Forspoken s launch, but now fans have the chance to experience it for themselves and see how the upcoming title has progressed since its initial reveal. After the significant delays and the promise of a new IP, player expectations are bound to be high, but many are hoping Forspoken can deliver an experience as magical as its main character.</p>');

To prep for the first and take care of the latter, I hit fashion industry favorite Daphne, a day spa in Nolita, to regain my glow.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">The spa works with one of my personal favorite skincare lines, French brand Biologique Rechere. My facialist began by taking a few minutes to feel my skin texture while we discussed my current routine, which I was shocked to learn may be causing much of my skin&rsquo;s irritation.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Heading into my appointment, my skin was surprisingly free from breakouts, but I was dealing with some serious dehydration throughout and redness in my t-zone.Two weeks post-facial I can attest that my skin is in a significantly better place than before. In fact, I would say it&rsquo;s the clearest and most hydrated it&rsquo;s ever been, especially in this difficult transitional season. Here are the simple routine changeups and product swaps that seem to be making a huge difference.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">I doubt I stand alone here, but I&rsquo;ve always assumed that a cream cleanser would either make me breakout or leave my skin greasy. With some gentle encouragement, I gave the Biologique Rechere milk cleanser a try. To my surprise, there is zero residue from the product. If I&rsquo;m using it to take off light makeup, I do a double cleanse. Sure, it&rsquo;s an extra step, but it s easy.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">The way you apply your toner is not to be overlooked either. My facialist stressed the importance of lightly pressing a cotton pad with toner on the skin as opposed to rubbing and making any harsh motions. I&rsquo;m currently using Biologic Rechere&rsquo;s p toner.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">This one hurt because I am a Vintner&rsquo;s Daughter stan. I actually pleaded that I love the way it makes my skin feel and was thankful that I was encouraged to keep using it. However, my facialist did recommend swapping it with a moisturizer at night to get more intense hydration while my skin repairs overnight. I will add that Vintner&rsquo;s Daughter is one of the highest quality oils on the market and is formulated to penetrate the skin barrier, but if you are using one with a larger molecule it s probably not providing your skin with the moisture it needs. In any case, the rotation seems to be going well, and I love the glow I get during the day from the oil.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">I&rsquo;m the last person to suggest lengthening your skincare routine, but the juice is worth the squeeze here. I speak for myself and my fellow skincare junkies that we all spend copious amounts on our skincare products, so we might as well make sure they are working to their full potential. This additive step won&rsquo;t cost you a dime&mdash;simply massage each product into your skin until it feels fully absorbed.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">If you&rsquo;re looking for a personalized facial with experts who are able to pinpoint exactly what your skin is craving, Daphne is your spot.</p>');

The last sea change began in the s, when Studio impresario Ian Schrager pioneered the concept of the boutique hotel and &ldquo;lobby socializing,&rdquo; making the sleek bar with a -foot fireplace at his Royalton the hottest spot in town, as fashionable New Yorkers jockeyed to get past the velvet rope. Simply put, Schrager turned hotels into scenes.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">The impact on the hospitality universe was so profound that we can almost think of New York hotels as pre-Schrager and post-Schrager. Before his arrival, little had fundamentally changed since the first wave of chic hotels arrived in the Gilded Age, including the Astor and The Plaza, when New Yorkers basking in unprecedented wealth wanted theater sets where they could see and be seen. These splendid palaces, whose scale, over-the-top luxury, and sumptuous decor put the hotels of Paris and London to shame, became part of New York City s very identity.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">But Schrager saw that the formality of the grand old hotels, perfect for special occasions like debutante balls, weddings, and golden anniversaries, was not enough for the contemporary energy of New York. Soon the whole city was fascinated by the hotel-as-piazza model, where guests and visitors could mingle day-to-day in a stylish setting, inspiring a string of successful imitators that had the power to transform entire Manhattan neighborhoods. Twenty years after the Royalton, the Ace Hotel turned a seedy flophouse on th Street into a -hour living room with leather couches and a DJ spinning late into the night, luring the creative set north of th Street to a formerly unremarkable stretch around Madison Square Park. In the arrival, a block south, of hotelier titan Andrew Zobler s NoMad, with its chic and dimly lit back bar, cemented the neighborhood as a destination.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">It s an ever-shifting pageant. In the last year, a third wave of hotel openings has begun to strike a new balance: Catering to a post-pandemic longing for peace and elbow room, the new addresses are oases of calm and beauty within the city, but also draw on the allure of hotels as public spaces that channel New York s energy.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">At the spanking-new Aman, well-heeled New Yorkers are finally returning to the illustrious Crown Building. From to , the tower on th Street housed the first incarnation of the Museum of Modern Art, then struggling with a tiny budget to persuade Americans to appreciate Gauguin and Van Gogh; today it is filled with contemporary Asian art.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">And the mythology of New York in the s is forever bound up with the Hotel Chelsea, whose reopening this year after an -year closure is cause for serious celebration. Too many legends to count&mdash;Bob Dylan, Andy Warhol, Edie Sedgwick, Leonard Cohen, and countless others&mdash;passed through its rooms: Patti Smith recalls in her memoir Just Kids how she went into the hotel s El Quijote restaurant, also reborn this year, to find Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and other musicians having a meal before driving up to Woodstock.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">The other new hotels of may not have the Chelsea s artistic cachet, but they are windows back onto golden ages of the past: It is pleasant to think of th-century robber barons like J. P. Morgan and assorted Rockefellers dashing from their offices in the building that houses the new Wall Street Hotel for a steak at Delmonico s. Even The Ned NoMad, occupying the space that Zobler s landmark did before it fell to COVID-, carries on its predecessor s social spirit.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">But it is the social life of New York hotels that provides the most powerful sense of continuity. One of the charming elements of staying in the Hotel Chelsea is that some long-term tenants still live there. When I stayed overnight a few months ago, I ended up at a party in the apartment of a photographer acquaintance who had resided there since the s and had decorated every inch of his rooms with brilliant colors and Italian religious icons. I recall talking to a gentleman dressed as a pirate, filmmakers, and burlesque dancers before staggering back to my room after the impromptu staging of a piece of performance art at a.m. Like the city around it, the Chelsea has changed, but the energy remains the same.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Walk into this boutique newcomer in the Financial District and immediately you ll notice the abundant Old New York glamour in materials like brass, velvet, and mother-of-pearl, a nod to the Beaux Arts building s former life as the headquarters of a successful trading company. The -room hotel s opening marks the latest in the evolution of Manhattan s southern tip into a place you want to be after the workday is over. Suites have both desks and deep soaking tubs, allowing guests to finish those last few tasks before relaxing for the night. Downstairs, chic locals mingle with out-of-towners, clinking martini glasses at Lounge on Pearl and downing oysters at La Marchande. All this, plus a soon-to-open roof-top bar with river views, adds up to a definitive statement: Wall Street isn t just business anymore. &mdash;Megan Spurrell</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Even after stepping inside the sepia-toned foyer on th Street, guests have little indication they ve arrived at Aman New York&mdash;at least until a uniformed staffer appears and quietly asks for their names. Such discretion feels surprising at first amid the splash and bang of midtown Manhattan, but it fits with the Aman ethos. The company s ballyhooed first American city hotel, housed in the iconic Crown Building, doesn t deviate from the formula so much as elevate it&mdash;quite literally. Belgian designer Jean-Michel Gathy has smartly leveraged the skyscraper s verticality to deliver on Aman s dual promises of space and tranquility&mdash;removing floors to create a double-height atrium, for example, and installing sleek gas fireplaces in every guest suite. The greatest testaments to his success are the breezy ,-square-foot terrace, with its sweeping common area and seating for Aman s restaurant, Arva, and the spa, which sprawls across three floors to offer a -foot pool, a state-of-the-art gym, and two Spa Houses&mdash;treatment rooms outfitted with, among other pleasures, either a hammam or a banya. &mdash;Betsy Blumenthal\\</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">The French hospitality group Lucien Barri&egrave;re has quickly become renowned for addresses like H&ocirc;tel Barri&egrave;re Le Fouquet s Paris, the fantastical Jacques Garcia&ndash;designed landmark in Paris s Golden Triangle, and H&ocirc;tel Barri&egrave;re Le Carl Gustaf, a sophisticated St. Barts hideaway. Now it has turned its sights to a cobblestoned corner of Tribeca with its American debut. Inside, the wallpaper depicts expressionist park scenes and France-linked illustrations of New York City, like Lady Liberty and cartoon pigeons carrying croissants in their beaks. The street-level outpost of their famed Champs-&Eacute;lys&eacute;es bistro, Fouquet s, has already become a destination in itself, slinging brasserie fare like escargots and onion soup by Michelin-starred chef Pierre Gagnaire at its signature red-and-black bar. For a lighter repast, try Par Ici Caf&eacute;, a lush, greenhouse-style eatery with a vegetarian focus, or the sultry guests-only Titsou cocktail bar. In the residential-style rooms, designer Martin Brudnizki sought to modulate his trademark maximalism; with a palette of French lavender and mint green, antiqued gold-leaf mirrors, and deep velvet couches, the spaces feel straight out of the th. For the ultimate upgrade, the two-story Le Grand Appartement Terrasse includes multiple terraces, some overlooking the Hudson. &mdash;Shannon McMahon</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Gritty-cool Dimes Square, Manhattan s newly minted microneighborhood at the bottom of the Lower East Side, is a place where -somethings carouse, -somethings debate leaving, and -somethings fondly recall their misspent youth. It is this last group that the team behind Nine Orchard seems to have had in mind when creating this sophisticated boutique hotel in a former bank steps from the Manhattan Bridge. Since June its beautiful bar, flooded with light from the oversized windows, has been filled with a chic crowd that feels a world away from the ragtag skaters outside. The painstakingly restored vaulted ceilings are among the dozens of details that have been carefully considered in creating a hangout worthy of New York s coolest grown-ups. Superstar Uruguayan chef Ignacio Mattos, the hotel s exclusive food-and-beverage partner, brings his sophisticated but accessible cooking to the cozy Corner Bar, which serves up bistro classics like steak au poivre and pomme frites don t skip the lamb rag&ugrave;. For a nightcap, hit the well-stocked bar cart that comes with each of the minimal rooms, turn the radio to one of four stations designed for Nine Orchard by hot local DJs Stretch Armstrong and Devon Turnbull, and have your own dance party until you re ready to crawl into your custom bed. &mdash;Lara Kramer</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">The Chelsea, as artists like Andy Warhol called it, has a fair claim to being New York City s most rock-and-roll hotel. But after a hard-partying run during which famous guests from Dylan Thomas to Sid Vicious got up to no good, the hotel stopped taking reservations in . It finally reopened this year, with some overdue upgrades and its old spirit seemingly intact. The guest rooms and suites are now bright and airy, with animal-print chairs bringing a bit of pizzazz to the original fireplaces, stained-glass windows, and those iconic wrought-iron balconies overlooking West rd Street. Iconic artworks by Sandro Chia and Alain Jacquet hang in the freshly painted stairways and lobby. The -year-old El Quijote restaurant, known for Spanish classics, is again packed nightly. The decadent Lobby Bar has added a solarium to go with the chandeliers, grand piano, and a cocktail menu loaded with drinks made famous from hotels around the world. Grab a seat, and you re bound to bump into one of the permanent residents who live in the Chelsea s few remaining bohemian apartments. Stick around for a story or two. &mdash;Megan Spurrell</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Five years after the landmark Ned opened in London, the brand has come to roost in New York s NoMad district, in the building occupied for nearly a decade by the neighborhood s namesake hotel. While The Ned NoMad isn t as opulent as its sibling across the pond, it has similar qualities: a stylish city bolt-hole and some members -club exclusivity its parent company also owns Soho House. The Beaux Arts building s interiors are pure Art Deco glam, with rich upholstery, marble floors, and warm woods. Traces of the old hotel remain in the design details at the bar and restaurant Little Ned, which serves popular American bar classics to diners in s-style booth seating. The property s rooms still have their wood paneling, damask dividers, and, happily, freestanding claw-foot bathtubs. The rooftop restaurant and bar are currently available only to Ned s Club members, but the company is betting that guests will join up. In fact, it s counting on it: A second New York Ned is set to open in the Financial District in &mdash;at a scale to rival the London location. &mdash;Arati Menon</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">When Ritz-Carlton announced its ambition years ago to open a hotel in the NoMad neighborhood, it raised some questions: Would the brand deliver its trademark style of traditional luxury or incorporate some of the energy of the hip hotels that more than a decade ago began transforming this once anonymous neighborhood into a place with a pulse? A Jos&eacute; Andr&eacute;s restaurant serving seriously delicious branzino, a lobby with hand-blown Randy Zieber light fixtures, and an arboretum s worth of potted plants all show that the answer lay behind door number two. Through the hotel s outdoor plaza, passersby can spy stylish entrepreneurial types sipping old-fashioneds on the green barstools beneath a canopy of shrubbery. Upstairs, the rooms have cloudlike beds and wide windows with expansive views. In the subterranean spa, therapists give deep-scrub facials in black Italian-marble treatment rooms. It s an indulgence straight out of the Ritz s old playbook, but like everything else here, it fits in perfectly. &mdash;Scott Bay</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">This article appeared in the December issue of Cond&eacute; Nast Traveler.

The hotel&rsquo;s signature spa, Spa Nalai, features six treatment suites, most of which include outdoor private balconies.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Guests can also enjoy world-class dining and craft cocktails in The Living Room, the hotel&rsquo;s contemporary American restaurant that overlooks the historic Carnegie Hall.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">One of the best Hyatt hotels in NYC is the Andaz th Avenue, which is really superb with large rooms, friendly staff, and a great location. The fact that both Andaz hotels feel so much more boutique than other hotels in Manhatten means that a stay here feels more homely and friendly than some of the larger hotels in the city.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">With -rooms, this hotel is a boutique when compared to the Grand Hyatt in New York, which is enormous. I prefer the boutique feel of the Andaz. The hotel is located in a building that used to be the worldwide headquarters for fashion brand Tommy Hilfiger before becoming an Andaz hotel in .</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">The hotel is on th Avenue, though the main entrance is on East st Street, just across from the New York Public Library and Bryant Park. Other attractions that are walkable from this lovely hotel include the Empire State Building, Times Square, Grand Central Terminal, and Rockefeller Center. It takes around an hour to taxi from New York-JFK airport to the hotel and around half an hour from LaGuardia Airport LGA. You have easy access to more than a dozen subway lines, too, ideal for exploring the rest of Manhattan and beyond.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">The Andaz experience begins the moment you arrive through the bronze-colored doors of our midtown Manhattan hotel and greeted by an Andaz Host. Have a drink in the bar downstairs while checking in via iPads. The whole experience feels very boutique, plus the welcome drink is a blessing and helps to pass the time while the process takes place. A really nice touch. Rooms are large loft-style rooms, spacious by Manhattan standards and minimalist in design with a great bed. Rooms are between and square feet, but the high ceilings make them feel larger. Ask for a room as high up as possible, as there is some minor street noise in the lower-level rooms. The higher rooms have a superb view and a window seat so you feel like you are sitting in your own loft apartment. spacious suites offer private balconies or landscaped terraces.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">As usual with Andaz hotels, nonalcoholic minibar items were complimentary. You get a few cans of soda and plenty of water bottles. Snacks are a bag of crisps and a chocolate bar with nuts. In the bathroom, there are two sinks and a great shower again, usual for Andaz hotels, you usually need to book a suite to get a bathtub. Toiletries are from Brooklyn-based Apotheke.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">There is a restaurant in the basement, &ldquo;The Bar Downstairs and Kitchen&rdquo;, which serves breakfast free to Globalists or if you book via our concierge, lunch, and light bites plus drinks in the evening. Breakfast is great with dishes including warm &ldquo;Lemon Souffle Pancakes&rdquo; with orange poppy seed syrup, &ldquo;Huevos Ranncheros&rdquo;, which are sunny side up eggs with black beans, avocado, salsa Roja, cotija, cilantro, corn tortilla. Two eggs any style with your choice of meat, hash browns, roasted tomato, griddled bread, Lobster and scrambled eggs, Avocado Toast, Egg White Omelette as well as sliced fruit, greek yogurt, maple porridge, and bread and pastries including croissants, pan au Chocolat, Zucker&rsquo;s bagel with cream cheese, blueberry muffins and white or multigrain toast.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Rather than having a club lounge, this Andaz offers complimentary coffee and tea service in the lobby lounge and a complimentary happy hour with wine each evening. There is also a decent -hour gym in the basement.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Overall, whether you are a Hyatt fan or not, this is a great hotel option for New York City with a boutique and trendy feel. I love the loft-style suites with terraces. They are the highlight of this hotel.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">The modern Hyatt Centric Street is our top pick as it has undergone a fabulous refurbishment and offers excellent value for a luxury stay in New York.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">The boutique ambiance of this hotel also makes it a real winner in the big apple. So many of the hotels in New York are large and lack the personal touch. It is refreshing to be treated to the boutique feel and experience.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Ideally located for the Financial District in New York City, at the corner of Wall Street and Water Street and about a -minute walk to the Memorial, the Hyatt Centric Wall Street has lovely large rooms starting at around square feet and is a great Hyatt branded hotel choice in New York. It is also well located for tourist sites, including South Street Seaport, and access to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">The rooms here have huge windows and spacious shower suites. The windows make up one entire wall of the room and are huge. They let in loads of light. A narrow seat runs in front of them for sitting and enjoying the view. The windows also have automated blackout shades and sheer curtains to provide privacy from the building across the street.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">The mini bar is free, and you also get complimentary tea and coffee throughout the day, along with muffins in the morning and chocolate-chip cookies later in the day in the lobby. There is also complimentary wine during a happy hour, all somewhat negating the need for a club lounge.

The best feature of the hotel was its club lounge with indoor and outdoor seating, but this is lounge no longer present at this hotel and never reopened. Apparently this hotel is set to be demolished but for now, it remains open and offers good rates and a central location.</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #777777; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Hyatt Grand Central New York is located just steps from New York&rsquo;s famous Grand Central Station.
