The Waldorf Towers occupies the top floors of the iconic Waldorf Astoria hotel in Midtown East. It is an exclusive boutique with 117 classic, individually decorated rooms, some of which have a rich history of famous guests and long-term residents. Most amenities are shared with its sister property -- including the great (but pricey) restaurants, high-end Guerlain Spa, and beauty salon -- but the hotel has its own lobby, fitness center, elevators, and concierges. Some rooms have underwhelming decor for the price, but for a more personalized stay with a little more luxury than at the Waldorf Astoria, the Towers is still a great pick.

A 1903 chemists' club-turned-107-room-Midtown East boutique, the Dylan offers sound service and striking design, but rooms are small, dimly lit, and a bit worn. Though there's a small fitness center, free Wi-Fi, and close proximity to Grand Central Station, the nearby Bryant Park Hotel is more stylish, and in a prettier locale.

This 100-room upper-middle-range hotel aims for glamour with its gold-trimmed decor, but upon closer inspection, that luster is fading. The clean, classically decorated rooms are reasonably spacious for New York (especially the suites), though the decor and furniture show signs of aging. It does provide a decent value, especially for sightseers, with attractions like the Empire State building and multiple subway lines within a few blocks. It may be worth comparing rates with the Affinia Dumont, The Carlton, or Hotel Chandler.
