The 20 most expensive hotels in New York

The Towers at Lotte Palace

Travel in luxury.

• Travel booking site New York Hotels analyzed luxury hotel data for all of New York to find the city's most expensive luxury hotels.
• While some hotels are no surprise, like The Plaza, there are newcomers like Baccarat Hotel, built in 2015, and others.
• The cheapest room at the most expensive hotel in New York costs a whopping $995.

Sometimes when you go on vacation, all you want to do is splurge: dine at the fancy restaurant you've been dreaming of trying, see that sold-out show, or stay at a luxurious hotel.

New York has a lot of options when it comes to luxury vacationing, from the iconic Plaza Hotel - once the place for the rich and famous to see and be seen - to newcomers like Robert De Niro-owned The Greenwich Hotel.

Travel booking site New York Hotels recently conducted a survey to figure out the most expensive hotels in New York. To figure out which was the most expensive, New York Hotels analyzed leading hotel booking sites for the cheapest available room rates for luxury hotels in New York during the month of May.

Business Insider then aligned those rates with U.S. News & World Report 2018 hotel rankings for New York City, released earlier this month to see how the hotels stacked up.
