The Rates at The Ritz-Carlton New York, Central Park

"Small pets are given special attention, while pet owners pay the price ($250 per stay for up to two pets of 60 pounds or less)"

"For families who can afford the steep prices, the hotel is extremely kid-friendly"

"If you're looking for a five-star experience in New York, and you insist on a Ritz, the sister property downtown offers a nearly identical experience for half the price"

""Luxurious" accommodations with "beds like heaven" and "to-die-for" views of Central Park star at this "incredible", "bucket-list" hotel featuring an "unbelievable" Midtown location, "gorgeous" decor and an "expensive" price tag that's "worth every penny"; supporters relish the "exceptional" facilities that include a "bar that is so much fun" and a La Prairie spa, as well as the "superb" staffers who "consistently go above and beyond" while "pampering" guests -- it's a "once-in-a-lifetime" experience that's "everything you would expect from a world-class hotel"

""A stay here is extremely pricey but worth it for the excellent location and service"
