Here’s an escape from the City that’s well worth looking into. Or out from. Take a look at the new Affinia Shelburne (formerly the Shelburne Murray Hill). It’s still Murray Hill, one of the coolest and most convenient of Manhattan neighborhoods. But now it’s brighter, bolder, more in tune—thoroughly renovated and ready to dazzle.

With 323 brand new guest rooms and suites, the Affinia Shelburne's unique design offers travelers a place to connect with friends, family or colleagues. Rooms feature eclectic décor, flat-screens and giant mirrors. Sleek kitchenettes or minibars and bright-new, spa-like baths. Looking for a view that could inspire dreams of Empire? Check out our select group of Terrace Suites.

At street level, Rare Bar & Grill serves up one of the best burgers you’ve ever tasted. In fact, they kind of started the whole Nouvelle Burger Renaissance or whatever you want to call it (Just ask a local.). Oh, and they do room service too.
