Just re-opened after a $65-million renovation, this sleek yet welcoming 82-room Hilton affords views of the Hudson River from the highest floors.

The business center offers secretarial services, personal computers, and cellular phones. The Executive Floors boast a special lounge, with complementary cocktails, breakfast and snacks.
