New York City might not seem like the most obvious luxury destination in the world, but the city attracts more than 50 million visitors each year for a good reason. As well as playing host to some of the most iconic landmarks in the world, New York City is the ideal spot for a fun-filled trip at any time of year.

While you might not find luxury on the Subway, there are some pretty luxurious ways to enjoy those NYC sights. We’re going to consider the best of them here! 

Book A Stay in One of the City’s Luxury Hotels

You won’t need the Subway when you have everything you need right there in your luxury NYC hotel. From floor-to-ceiling views of the Empire State Building to rooftop pools and more, there’s no end of luxury accommodation available in the Big Apple. Simply make sure you’re choosing well-equipped luxury accommodation, like the Arlo Williamsburg Hotel which includes rooftop pools, ballrooms, and eating/drinking options. This way, you can enjoy the lavish lifestyle without needing to set foot on those NYC streets if you don’t fancy it, all with the benefit of impressive hotel views and easy access to everything you could possibly hope for.

See NYC From the Air

If you’re keen to see more of NYC than simply your hotel room, why not take to the air to enjoy the NYC sights? There are various helicopter tours available across the city, including a Manhattan Sky Tour, and The Big Apple Helicopter Tour, which will take you across top locations including Manhattan, Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens, and The Bronx. Not a fan of helicopters? Not a problem. You can simply book a private airplane ride and take to the sky in true comfort, complete with a bottle of champagne. 

Take To New York’s Waters

New York’s harbor is impressive, and it offers another great way to tour the city in style. Without needing to explore those potentially crowded streets, boat tours that can include a sunset sail or a skyline cruise can see you enjoying all of New York’s top sights, including the Statue of Liberty and Staten Island. You could even opt for a private luxury boat tour or even boat hire, ensuring a private, calm tour that offers luxury galore. 

Consider Taking a Carriage

Even if you’re in the heart of NYC’s bustle, the Subway isn’t your only transport option. In Central Park, in particular, you could step back to a more classy age by hopping on one of the fantastic horse and carriage tours available. These are some of the city’s true hidden gems, and few other transport options will add quite the same special touch to your day and, in most cases, you’ll be able to choose between extended VIP tours or short rides, depending on what you want to see, and how much you enjoy the gentle swaying of a horse’s hooves beneath you. 

Turn your New York Trip into one of your most luxurious yet when you avoid the Subway, and instead see the best sites in the city using these more refined options.
