Manhattan has just been recognized as having the seven most expensive hotels in the United States. A recent survey conducted by Luxury-Hotels.com has come to this conclusion and has singled out The Ritz Carlton and the Mandarin Oriental as the leaders of the pack.

In coming up with the rankings, the survey compared luxury hotels in major cities across the United States. The cheapest available rate for a double room during the month of October 2015 served as the basis of comparison. The survey selected October as the comparative month because hotel rates reach their average peak in the majority of U.S. cities, New York included, then.

The Central Park region of Manhattan is home to the two priciest hotels in the country, The Ritz Carlton and the Mandarin Oriental. Each averaging a minimum nightly rate of $995 for a double room, they share the survey’s number one spot. Coming in just five dollars cheaper in the third spot is The Baccarat Hotel, which is situated in Midtown Manhattan as well.

The following table shows the 10 most expensive city hotels in the United States. The prices listed indicate the cheapest available rate for a double room during the month of October 2015.

About the Methodology:
The survey was conducted in September 2015. For each luxury hotel located in a U.S. city (population > 500,000), the cheapest available rate for a double room during the month of October was established. Only two- or three-night stays have been considered, excluding Sundays and Mondays. So for stays of four nights or more, more affordable rates may be available.
