WHY NEW YORK CITY
The city as a reset: hotel pools above Manhattan, the park at dawn and one great meal a night.
New York works as a restorative break if you stay somewhere with a real spa and let the city come in doses. We choose the hotels with pools, hammams and quiet rooms in Midtown, Tribeca and Brooklyn, and the walks and galleries to fill the gaps.

New York City is usually reached by car, or by air into the nearest regional airport and a short drive on. Retreat48 works out the sensible route and real travel time from where you're starting.
What is New York City best for?
New York City is best for city break, culture and food & drink. The city as a reset: hotel pools above Manhattan, the park at dawn and one great meal a night.
