In New York, we like to stay at the 'Millennium One UN' and preferably in the 35th floor - corner room - if possible. In this way, just standing and looking out the window gives the instant feeling of being part of the city. Like all visitors I got adrenalized by the buzz of people, cars, busses, police sirens, hawkers. So pleasant then after the busy day to fly up on the elevator to the quiet hotel room.
When it was raining it gave the pleasant feeling of being cocooned in a cloud.
When the sun rose in the morning, the clear view to the Empire State building made me think of what I learned in the Zeppelin museum: the idea of mooring an airship on its top!?!
