The Shelburne Sonesta New York
New York City, New York, United States · Sonesta · Near Luxury
Two Manhattan landmarks share the view from this 1929 Murray Hill hotel: west-facing terrace suites and the 16th-floor Vintage Green frame both the Empire State and Chrysler buildings at once. The Shelburne's 325 rooms run from studios to two-bedroom apartment-style suites, many with kitchenettes, while its 2022 Sonesta chapter kept the old Lexington Avenue name above the door.
