Why is Hotel Wales the Best Hotel in the Upper East Side?

March 23rd, 2009

The beautiful neighborhood where Hotel Wales resides is known as Carnegie Hill, most notably because of the historic Carnegie Mansion.  Nowadays, the Upper East Side is better known for tv shows like Gossip Girl and The Real Housewives of New York City. However, the notable charm of Carnegie Hill lies in it’s unmistakable sophistication, history and ambiance.

Visitors to Carnegie Hill often stay at Hotel Wales because of its obvious proximity to the Museum Mile. You honestly can’t find a better New York Hotel if museums are your NYC trip goal. Additionally, the Hotel Wales is steps from Central Park, making the trip ideal for those who make the Park an important gem within their NYC adventure.

Many great stores and boutiques are within easy-to-walk-in-heels distance from Hotel Wales. Carnegie Hill is filled with upscale children’s clothing boutiques like Petit Bateau, famed shoestores like Chuckies and specialty food stores such as Food Emporium and E.A.T Gourmet Foods. I know its a chain, but one of my favorite places to eat near Carnegie Hill is Serafina. Seriously, their focaccia breads are amazing, and the olive oil they serve is to die for.

A short stroll down Madison Avenue takes you from Carnegie Hill to the most iconic and upscale shops of the Upper East Side such as  Barney’s and Prada. In short, shopping, museums and Central Park are all at your fingertips at Hotel Wales, so check us out the next time you are heading to Manhattan.
