Hotel shortlist
5-Star Hotels in New York City
A five-star classification describes the category a property is registered in, not the experience. The review record is the more useful separator inside this group.
What this list covers
The filter: properties classified as five-star in the source data, ranked on review record. 57 properties qualify. This page shows the 20 with the strongest review record.
Across 8 of the 20 properties on this page, the August 2026 snapshot ran from $344 to $974 a night, with a median of $692. Treat those as reference points rather than rates you can book today. 12 had no usable price in the snapshot and are compared on location and review record alone.
Review scores on this page have a median of 9.1, and 20 of 20 sit at 8.5 or higher. We rank on a review score weighted by how many reviews it rests on, so a perfect score from a handful of stays does not outrank a strong score from thousands.
By price band the snapshot puts 8 at $300 or more a night.

FAQ
Common questions
How was this list selected?
The filter is properties classified as five-star in the source data, ranked on review record. We state it rather than implying a judgement, because best without a criterion is not a recommendation.
Are the prices on this page current?
No. They are reference points from our August 2026 snapshot. Rates in New York move week to week, so use them to compare properties against each other, not to set a budget.
