Where to stay in New York in 2021? While New York has a lot of options to offer, we wanted to try something classy. Today we are reviewing a luxury hotel called Gild Hall, a Thompson Hotel. It’s a top location on Wall St, the heart of Financial District of Manhattan, New York. It’s very convenient for both business travelers and those exploring the Big Apple. Watch for yourself what a luxury suite looks like. If you prefer to watch the video, we’ll also take you on a city tour, Times Square and Rockefeller Rink.

Overall experience: It was Good! We didn’t spend much time here, but its location was very convenient to explore Financial District, walk to the Charging Bull and then hop on a subway to Times Square with is approximately a 20 minutes ride. The rooms had a very nice heavy classy design which we really enjoyed. The wet bar was very handy to have some quick coffee and a small snack. We just wish the cleanliness and maintenance were improved.

It is perfect for a business traveler and tourists exploring old streets of Manhattan.
