Going to New york City in April. There are so many hotel choices. I was thinking of splitting up my stay between two hotels. Stay the first two nights at a more economical hotel and the last two at a more luxury hotel. Has anyone every done this before? Would it be too much of a hassle to switch hotels? Also need some suggestions on which hotels. Thanks

Stay at the Four Seasons, the St. Regis, or the Peninsula.

You would spend too much time checking in/out/changing locations/packing/unpacking! Better idea....stay in one hotel for 4 nights then come back to NYC and stay in the other hotel! The Plaza Athene, the Soho Grand and the Mercer are my favorites,all NYers have their favorite hotels, and we are happy to tell you which one you MUST stay in

Would certainly not bother switching hotels. In New York most of the time is spent out of your hotel room so I wouldn't splurge here (although if you can afford it the Four Seasons is one of the best anywhere). Try the W Tuscany where it's very nice and the rooms are large, with great linen. The suites are huge so there's place to lounge for 4 days. It's a bit out of the main drag,near Grand Central Station, but a good choice that balances economy and luxury.

There's no way I'd switch hotels like that. If you have to check out of the first one at 11 AM and can't check into the next one until 3 PM (typical times), what will you do with your luggage? It's not worth the hassle!

I considered this myself, but after going, I would not recommend it. You really are not in your room that much, and location is of more importance. In my opinion, the Sheraton Towers is in the most central location--looked lovely, also.

Hi,
Just returned fr; NYC, please don't bother in switching hotels. You spend so little time in them because there is so so much to do there. Spend you time sightseeing rather than the hassled of packing and unpacking. Also, if you get a good clean place, that's is great. You will spend so much money on eating and paying for other things, save you dollars on that. What matters abt hotel is location, location location, it's everything.
