Click to book Dior & The Moon now: from £250 per night When we look at this home, we’re reminded of the filmmakers of old Hollywood who used to place a thin silk stocking over the camera lens to give their footage a soft, dreamy effect. The light filtering in through gauzy curtains lends this New York loft a similar vibe, and the scattered curios, stacks of books, exposed brick walls and of course, the swing, only add to the dream-like qualities. It’s clear from the combination of modern furnishings and vintage flourishes, like the working gas fireplace and industrial-chic bedroom workspace, that this is the home of a designer with a keen eye for detail and exceptional taste. Located in downtown Manhattan, you’re within walking distance of the city’s incredible dining, bars, and cultural attractions – and if you’re at a loss of where to have dinner, just consult the chalkboard bathroom wall which is full of your host’s recommendations. At the end of your day exploring every nook and cranny of the Big Apple, there’s nothing better than heading up to the rooftop to enjoy a nightcap and a jaw-dropping view of the iconic NYC skyline. Sleeps up to 4 | 2 Bedrooms | 1 Bathroom

Click to book The Lady Shines A Light now: from £803 per night Sunlight spills into this modern home, illuminating the airy spaces and bold contemporary art on the walls. Much like New York itself, this one-bedroom apartment wears many crowns – made for lazy mornings and long, relaxing evenings just as much as hectic city life. The little table nook is ideal for sipping morning coffee while reading the papers, and the sofa is the perfect place to rest weary legs after a day strolling the Manhattan streets. Within a few minutes walk you’ll hit both the scenic greenery of Battery Park and the skyscrapers of the Financial District, and if you’re hoping to catch a glimpse of the Statue of Liberty you couldn’t be in a better spot. Sporty types will be thrilled by the home’s Peleton bike and the building’s rooftop pool, which will be ready for you to take the plunge in July 2021. Whether you’re a solo adventurer or a loved-up couple, we think you’ll be very happy here. Sleeps up to 2 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom

Click to book Hudson View now: from £635 per night One of the most sought-after locations in the USA is the area around the narrow streets of the oldest part of New York City, a part of Lower Manhattan that was once contained within the original Dutch settlement of New Amsterdam. Although it might be found in a historic part of the city, this gorgeous studio apartment resides within a thoroughly modern building, boasting all the contemporary amenities you’d expect, from fast wi-fi to a flatscreen TV. Inside, the bright living area is both comfortable and stylish, while the kitchen is well-equipped to help you prepare a delicious meal if you fancy a night off from hitting the world-famous bars and restaurants of downtown NYC. Up on the roof, the building has a swimming pool and sun terrace, where you can soak up the sunshine and enjoy the views out over the city. This enviable location in the very heart of Lower Manhattan is just a few minutes from The Battery, a small park that looks out to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Sleeps up to 4 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom

Click to book New Amsterdam now: from £217 per night Sitting at the edge of what was once the old walled city of New Amsterdam, this beautifully decorated Lower Manhattan apartment is the ideal base for your trip to the Big Apple. The living room is a vision of dark tones and uber-stylish furniture, while the kitchen has everything you need to prepare a New York feast. And though it may be the city that never sleeps, you can be sure of peaceful rest in the comfy queen-size bed. Beyond the apartment, the building has a superb array of amenities, such as a games room and lounge where you can shoot some pool and make friends with the neighbours, as well as an on-site gym for burning off those bagels. Finally, there’s a sun-kissed roof terrace with incredible views of the surrounding skyscrapers, including the impressive glass structure of the nearby One World Trade Centre. Sleeps up to 4 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bathroom

Click to book No Wolves Here now: from £498 per night This home is all New York sophistication — tall ceilings, polished wooden floors and fashion-forward furniture working together to create an aura of understated chic in which you’ll feel right at home. Find a cocoon of calm in one of the two cosy bedrooms sitting off the airy, open-plan living space, or head to the rooftop to enjoy the peace and views high above the city bustle. The apartment is conveniently located in Lower Manhattan, steps away from the finance frenzy of Wall Street, moments from the Brooklyn Bridge and right on top of more bars and restaurants than you could ever hope to visit in one trip. Of course, you don’t need to leave the home to have fun — as well as your own private space and the rooftop, there’s also a fully equipped gym and a huge communal lounge available with a pool table and comfy armchairs for you to relax in style. Sleeps up to 4 | 2 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms
