If you’re looking for luxurious sophistication at a boutique hotel in New York City, The Sherry-Netherland Hotel is a wonderful choice. This 50-room property, located right on Midtown Manhattan’s famous 5th Avenue, offers guests the best of both worlds — superb accommodations and excellent location.

Each of the Sherry-Netherland’s rooms is individually decorated and furnished, but each includes flat-screen LCD TV’s, iPod docking stations, king beds, luxury marble bathrooms and a variety of mineral waters and sodas. The suites also come with kitchenettes. You’ll also find a snack emporium, a variety of clothing stores and salons, a full concierge service, a fitness center and more — all onsite. But you knew the accommodations would be excellent when you walked into the beautiful lobby, modeled after the Vatican Library, with its crystal chandeliers and ornate walls and woodwork.

The staff here is also top-noth. Guests report custom welcome messages and chocolates left in their rooms by the general manager, along with stuffed animals and toys for children.

Located in The Sherry-Netherland’s lobby, you’ll find Harry Cipriani, an informal upscale restaurant serving classic Italian food. The menu includes everything from Chicken Spezzatino al Curry with rice pilaf to Harry Bar Hamburgers. There is no kid’s menu.

The hotel opens up to Central Park and all of the world-famous shopping on 5th Avenue, and is centrally located to all of New York City’s best family-friendly attractions.
