According to an August 2024 report by McKinsey & Company, New York City tourism is almost all the way back to pre-pandemic levels. Domestic travel has rebounded to approximately 95% of 2019 levels, and international travel is not far behind, having recovered to 86% of 2019 levels. The latter category spends about three times as much as domestic tourists, and all are starting to think beyond traditional attractions: Visitors are increasingly willing to venture beyond Manhattan, and immersive experiences like The Beam at Rockefeller Center are in demand.

“All are welcome in New York” – Fred Dixon, CEO, New York & Company
In light of all this, the McKinsey & Company report found that hotels throughout the city reached 92 percent of 2019 levels. Some visitors opt to stay with friends or family, while others prefer short-term rentals. However, more frequent travelers might find greater value in a pied-a-terre.
Some buildings are more conducive to such an arrangement than others. A number of luxury hotels have incorporated several units for pied-a-terre use, often situated above the standard hotel rooms so as to make the most of views. The luxury pied-a-terre market is most prevalent in central Manhattan neighborhoods near Central Park. Their wealthy buyers are not just looking for a central location but a building that is outfitted with impressive amenities, thoughtful concierge services, and a building staff that provides a sense of security at all times. On-site restaurants, roof decks, and lounges, as well as spa and fitness centers, are also considered attractive perks.
Below is our list of the best luxury New York City pied-a-terre buildings that come with extensive bells and whistles such as an in-house chef, daily maid service, valet services, and more. So whether it be for a vacation or business meeting, your stay in your pied-a-terre will be an unforgettable New York experience.

A key component of One High Line is Faena New York, which opened in September 2025. Guests arrive to “Ascension, A Sephirotic Journey,” a massive centerpiece mural by Argentine artist Diego Gravinese in the hotel's lobby, and the hotel is home to La Boca (a new restaurant by celebrity chef Francis Mallmann) and The Living Room bar. The 17,000-square-foot Tierra Santa Healing House spa will open in spring 2026; in the meantime, the hotel's concierge can arrange for in-room massage treatments.
