Best One-Night-Stand Hotel

Sherry-Netherland

781 Fifth Ave.; 212-355-2800

When it comes to a one-night stand, forget the cool downtown boutique hotels and head to the landmark Sherry-Netherland on Fifth Avenue. Few think of this historic building as having 48 spacious hotel rooms (and suites), and therein lies its charm: Despite the small number of rooms, there are frequent vacancies. The staff is discreet, and because the Sherry-Netherland doubles as a stately apartment building, it’s not a place where you’ll be easily found. The lobby, modeled after the Vatican library, is hushed and intimate. The rooms, starting at $499, aren’t cheap, but when you’ve got only one chance to score, you should do it right. There’s no deadline for checking in, as long as you check out by noon, so feel free to start the night late.

Our mission this year: to hunt down not just the best but the best values in the eating, shopping, drinking, and general-consuming universe of New York. It’s quite the process, this, requiring eating and shopping and drinking (all in the name of research), followed by heated but civil discussion, and heated but less-civil discussion, until a winner emerges in each category.
