Best NYC hotel for 1 night stay?
Hey all, so me and a friend are heading to NYC for thanksgiving, wed-sunday. We dont have tons of money so are staying with friends in Jersey to save some cash but are looking at staying at least 1 night in the city so we can do some nightlife things. What hotels would you recommend for a really nice stay? Currently looking at either the Plaza or maybe the St.Regis

If you don't have tons of money, will be out on the town anyway and seem like young guys, why the heck would you want to stay at the Plaza or St Regis (average guest age 50+?)?
Have a look at Soho House, which basically comes with its own night-life attached. Or the Gansevoort across the road, or the Standard behind Soho House. Or, as you are SPG Gold, one of the W properties. Surely that makes more sense?
FWIW, the suites at Soho House offer some of the best 'bang for your buck' in the city I think.

Your age and what kinda of night life you are looking for would be helpful. I would think you would also look at Hotel Americano, or The Standard and get one of their large rooms for the same price as the other hotels you mentioned. Service at Hotel Americano is very good and I have stayed in the largest and smallest rooms and liked both.

We both do love the classic luxury hotels, in addition to the newer modern style ones, so we would enjoy the old world charm of the Plaza as much as a W. Will check out the ones you listed

If you would like a more classic decor perhaps St. Regis or R-C Central Park would be good choices. You could also consider the Pierre.
Lowell and Carlyle are not good choices if one is looking for an entry level room, which sound like the case.

Standard may also be a good idea as it is much easier to get into their bar if you are staying at the hotel (which if nightlife is a goal could be useful for the "youngsters").

What about Greenwich Village and SoHo?
You could then choose from The (very lovely) Greenwich Hotel (viewed on here as one of the top choices), The Bowery, Crosby Street, Trump Soho, The Jane etc etc - tons of options in a very cool young and vibrant area. The Standard is a party hotel too.

I guess this is the next natural suggestion: http://www.esplanademanhattan.com/
Honestly, Gansevoort is probably exactly right, if it's available.
