Expect full-service spas with treatments like massages, facials, and hydrotherapy, alongside 24-hour fitness centers, fine dining, and concierge services. Most properties cluster around Midtown, Central Park South, and Hudson Yards, with nightly rates typically starting at $300 for entry-level luxury and exceeding $1,000 at iconic names like The Plaza or Four Seasons. Book early for weekend availability, and note that many hotels charge a daily resort fee (often $35-$50) that may include spa credits or gym access.
