Winter in New York might look beautiful and all, but the season really brings the temperature down here. You'd likely enjoy seeing the snow-ladened city even more when you're inside someplace that's warm. Perhaps while sipping hot cocoa or getting pampered with a massage at the same time? New York City has a ton of these places—hotspots that will really have you feeling hot and toasty during winter. If you have a special someone, they'll make for great date locations. And if you bring the whole family, you can all cozy up to each other!
The Bowery Hotel
Sometimes, all you really need is a good fireplace to help you stay warm. It'd be great if your luxury home in New York had one, but in all honesty, you'll need a lot of luck to score such a place. So if you want to keep toasty during winter here, you'll want to head on over to places that have a fireplace. The Bowery Hotel in the Lower East Side of Manhattan is a perfect example. The hotel's bar and lounge has a fireplace that's so grand, you can practically feel its warmth from the other room. And while you relax by the fire, you can also enjoy their great cocktails too!
