When you visit a city the never sleeps, sometimes all you want is a really good nap. But, here in Manhattan, there’s not even a chance of that, there’s too much restless energy going through your pores and pumping your very being into a jumble of thoughts that can lead you to the brink of insanity. You feel you have to do everything that there is possibly to do in Manhattan.
 
Escaping the city is another possibility, seeing the forest for the trees, feeling the mountains ruggedness under your feet, finding sand in every parts of your body after playing in the ocean or encompassing the vastness of space. I love this city, I love my room at one of the New York top hotels, it’s like icing on top of a cupcake, but I’m so over-stimulated and frazzled.
 
At first glance, New York does overwhelm the senses, stimulates the possibilities, brings about a zest for life, and sparkles like diamond for the taking, but then it hits you and suddenly the urge to sleep or run pours in like Niagara Falls. I need calm, I need warmth, I need a friendly person to talk to, I need sleep.
 
I couldn’t sleep, so I took a walk to Central Park, I haven’t been there yet, so maybe, just maybe I find solace. I braved the park at twilight and with a threatening sky; as I entered, my first thought was: I found escape. The peace, the tranquility flowed through my garbled soul. The air was pungent with the scent of Night Jasmine, the horse-drawn carriages echo down the cobblestones. I felt sleepy and calm. Why didn’t I come here sooner? Central Park is an oasis in the concrete forest, it’s a balm on an open wound and saviour that grounds home a sense of being whole again.
 
I think I can once again take on the hustle and bustle of this spectacular city.

When looking for a perfect New York hotel, Central Park probably comes to mind as one of the idea locations. It truly is spectacular here, and our hotels are incredibly sumptuous accommodations, selected for their excellence in service and design. They are also terribly unique, varying in architecture and decor, but all of a uniformly high standard. Individuality and comfort are some of our biggest offerings here, and we aim to help rejuvenate you so that you can enjoy your time in the city. A fantastic night’s sleep and a perfect meal, and you’re ready to begin your New York adventure. The city is all that it’s cracked up to be, and the allure which brought artists and writers here during the last century is still here. Every day there are more people arriving to test their luck here, and make their contributions to world culture. To the benefit of locals, there is always something exciting happening, day or night, and something to please every age and every taste. Culturally it is still on the edges, drawing great minds who dare to peer into the future and create new works of art based on their vision. There have been peak times in New York’s history when masses of artists were producing work that made the world stand up and take notice, and we might be entering into another one of those great moments. For a peek into the future of art, check out some of the work of Drew Waters. The Melbourne-born artist now lives in Brooklyn, and his medium is digital media. The work is usually installation-based, so that viewers enter into the gallery area and are immersed in his video creations. He was educated in Melbourne and New York, and is making interesting new work that is immersive and challenging. Drew Waters works with contemporary culture, offering critique and commentary on the state of unequal power relations, and using media to uncover some of the mechanisms of the icons and images of power.
