When in The City it can be easy to get wrapped up in being busy for busy’s sake. Sure advocating for yourself in the office, constantly scouting the best apartments, and finding alternative train routes are all important things to do, but sometimes you need to slow down and reset.
With iconic city views, all four seasons and the rumble of the city tucked stories beneath, NYC is one of the best destinations to check into a luxury hotel and take a lingering bubble bath. With approximately 700 hotels in New York City, it’s no wonder that NYC has some of the best hotel bathtubs in the country. Escape from your daily deadlines and slip into one of these soak-worthy tubs.

Why it makes the list: The deep marble tub with brass hardware would’ve been enough, but The Bowery kept going with a large iron frame window that reveals the city beneath.
