Watching the ferries sail to and fro on the East River will become part of your daily routine at this wonderful Murray Hill Apartment. It's right on the riverfront, giving you an excellent view of glistening Long Island City across the water – you can enjoy the vistas from bed with a morning coffee, or with a sundowner on the wonderful private balcony. The rest of the apartment is understated yet chic, with statement prints on the walls and comfortable furnishings that will make you feel right at home during your stay. If you fancy a workout then simply pop to the on-site gym, or opt for a gentler start to your day with a hearty breakfast at the glass table. Seeing the sights is easy from here – a walk to visit the iconic Empire State Building or Grand Central Station takes just fifteen minutes. The excellent transport links make getting around the rest of the city easy too – those travelling for business will be glad to know that the subway will whizz you to the financial district in just half an hour.

Local guide
About Kips Bay
Kips Bay is a mainly residential neighbourhood, moments away from the rush of Midtown, which has lovely waterfront views across to Brooklyn and Queens. The neighbourhood combines historic brick townhouses with new high-rise apartments, and is home to some of the country's best hospitals - a good neighbourhood for the hypochondriacs amongst you perhaps? Some people accuse it of being non-descript and, it's true, it's definitely not going to win...
