Located in tree-lined Murray Hill, this laidback apartment offers some breathing space from New York City’s pulsing streets. The interiors are modern yet unpretentious with teal dining chairs adding a pop of colour to the neutral living space. There’s a fully-equipped kitchen with everything you need to cook up your favourite dinners and comfortable bedrooms that guarantee a peaceful slumber. Mornings begin on the balcony, coffee in hand, watching the sun rise over the East River. If you like to keep fit while you’re away, work up a sweat in the communal gym or go for a jog along the nearby East River Greenway. In the afternoon, tick off New York’s most famous landmarks, starting with the Empire State Building, only a fifteen-minute walk away. Visit Times Square, Fifth Avenue and the Museum of Modern Art before ending another whirlwind day with a cocktail in a stylish Midtown Manhattan bar.

Local guide


About Kips Bay

Kips Bay is a mainly residential neighbourhood, moments away from the rush of Midtown, which has lovely waterfront views across to Brooklyn and Queens. The neighbourhood combines historic brick townhouses with new high-rise apartments, and is home to some of the country's best hospitals - a good neighbourhood for the hypochondriacs amongst you perhaps? Some people accuse it of being non-descript and, it's true, it's definitely not going to win...
