This stylish NoMad hotel was just named New York's best by Travel + Leisure magazine
A relative newcomer, the hotel opened in late 2023 and quickly became a favorite for both well-heeled travelers and in-the-know New Yorkers. With interiors by Martin Brudnizki Design Studio, the 153-room property feels like the love child of a Gilded Age mansion and a Wes Anderson set, blending jewel-toned walls, antique curiosities and luxurious amenities (hello, Dyson hairdryers and 'maxi'-bars) into a singular experience. One T+L voter raved, 'Everything was on point from the moment I walked in the door until I left a week later.'
But it's not just about good looks. The service at The Fifth Avenue Hotel is as elevated as its design. Guests staying in the Mansion suites, located in the historic 1907 building, originally designed by McKim, Mead & White, are greeted by personal butlers who offer welcome drinks and iPad-powered tutorials on controlling everything from lighting to blinds. It's the kind of place where if your room needs a walkthrough, you know you've made a good choice.
Downstairs, the hotel's food and drink offerings are just as seductive. The cozy, wood-paneled Portrait Bar serves meticulously crafted cocktails in a setting that feels like a secret society's private lounge. And the hotel's signature restaurant, Café Carmellini, is helmed by James Beard Award-winning chef Andrew Carmellini, who delivers French-Italian elegance with dishes like duck tortellini and squab en croûte.
When it comes to the competition, this year's list was full of shake-ups: None of 2024's top 10 hotels returned, proving just how fast the city's hospitality scene evolves. Other notable entries included Gansevoort Meatpacking at No. 2 and Hotel Barrière Fouquet's New York at No. 3.
But it's The Fifth Avenue Hotel that reigns supreme in 2025—and with its intoxicating scent, impeccable service and theatrical flair, it's giving New York something rare: a hotel that feels like an escape, even when you're right in the middle of it all.

Ibiza Rocks hotel where three Brits died still selling party tickets despite suspension
The Ibiza Ricks resort has seen four people die in tragic accidents while staying at the hotel in recent months, with multiple Brits dying in balcony falls The Ibiza hotel where two Brits tragically lost their lives in separate incidents is still flogging party tickets, despite claims they were suspending these events in light of the repeated deadly balcony falls in recent months. Evan Thomson, from Aberdeen, sadly died after falling from his Ibiza Rocks hotel balcony on Monday, July 7. The 26-year-old sadly fell from the sixth floor while away celebrating his birthday. Just a fortnight later, Gary Kelly, a 19-year-old from Dundee, suffered a fatal fall from the third floor of the same establishment just past midnight. These twin tragedies followed two other at the Ibiza Rocks resort, including a 33-year-old British woman who died on April 30, and a female Italian tourist, 19, who fell from a balcony just three days earlier. In the wake of these heartbreaking events, Ibiza Rocks had declared a suspension of all festivities. The hotel expressed its sorrow with the words: "We are deeply shocked and devastated by the recent incidents that have tragically occurred." They continued: "Our priority is to support those affected and their loved ones during this incredibly difficult time, and to fully assist the authorities with their investigations. "The safety and wellbeing of our guests has, and always will remain, our highest priority. Given the seriousness of the situation and out of respect for those involved, we believe it is right to pause our advertised events programme at this time." Yet, despite these assurances, tickets for upcoming events, including this Saturday's LoveJuice Ibiza Day Party, are still up for grabs online. Ibiza Rocks is asking punters to pay £17.35 for standard entry and £26 for a Daylife pass, which includes a food and drink voucher. The hotel is gearing up for its RandB Affair Day Party this Sunday, tipped to be the island's most epic RandB bash, with entry fees matching those of the previous day's festivities. Dizzee Rascal was scheduled to play at the hotel yesterday as part of the venue's '20th birthday celebrations' but that was postponed. However, Rudimental are still set to perform on July 30 for the anniversary, with tickets still available to purchase online. In the wake of Evan's tragic passing, his family and friends have raised serious concerns about the hotel's safety measures, criticising the establishment's handling of the incident. Evan's mate Blair Robertson blasted the hotel for their eagerness to 'get things back to normal' after the tragedy, reports the Daily Record. He recounted: "Security took us away to front desk. Paramedics didn't arrive for about 30 minutes. Forensic officers didn't speak English. We were just standing there, not knowing what was going on. Reception gave us false hope. "We heard the jet washes cleaning the ground where Evan died. That was the worst thing for us". Evan's sister Teila also called for 'higher safety precautions', stating: "Once it did happen, the hotel's response was just completely heartbreaking; almost as if it never happened. I pray no other family has to go through this." Following the recent fatalities, Ibiza Rocks shared a safety message on their social media, expressing that their thoughts 'remained with the families' of Evan and Gary. They wrote: "The tragic incidents of the past few weeks have deeply affected many. We continue to work closely with the authorities, and our thoughts and support remain with everyone impacted. "Much of the hard work that goes into safety and security in hotels and venues across the world happens behind the scenes. With thousands of guests passing through our doors every summer, it takes a collective effort from our team, security and local partners to maximise safety for all. "In times like these, care matters - but so does action. We have zero tolerance for any behaviour that puts our guests or our team at risk and we are building on the strong work we already do to go even further. "Out of respect and privacy for the people involved, we don't usually comment on individual reports posted online, but that certainly doesn't mean we're not always listening. We're committed to working with anyone who raises solid concerns so that we can establish the facts and take the appropriate steps. "Our hotel remains open and more information on a future events programme will be shared as soon as possible." On the topic of balcony safety, the hotel added: "Balcony safety is something we take very seriously, and our hotel meets all the applicable building regulations. "Alongside that, we're introducing further safety measures and working to raise more guest awareness to help encourage responsible use and keep everyone safe."

Emily Ratajkowski posts SHOCKING fully nude photo while enjoying summer getaway
Emily Ratajkowski posed for a fully nude snap in her latest Instagram post on Thursday as she enjoyed a lavish summer getaway. The supermodel, 34 - who recently risked a wardrobe malfunction in a very daring swimsuit - shared a carousel of photos that had been taken throughout this month and were captioned with 'luglio' which means July in Italian. In one image, the former Nickelodeon actress could be seen soaking up the sun as she relaxed on a lounge chair outside. However, Ratajkowski opted to ditch clothing and instead simply donned a red cap on top of her brunette locks to protect her eyes from the bright sunshine. She turned her head to gaze towards the camera and also held her smartphone in her hand so her arms could rest on top of her chest. It is not the first the media personality has made the bold move and notably posed for a nude bathroom selfie last year. Ratajkowski seemingly whisked herself away to Italy - and was joined by close pals as well as her son Sly, four. She shares the little one with ex-husband Sebastian Bear-McClard. Another picture showed the beauty sporting a skimpy green bikini top with a plunging neckline on the front. Her hair was parted in the middle and naturally flowed down past her shoulders in light waves. Ratajkowski flashed her toned midriff during a stroll in a bustling city as she donned a cropped top as well as black shorts in the hot weather. She carried a purse over her right shoulder and completed the casual look with a pair of fashionable black shades. The Gone Girl actress snapped another selfie as she sat underneath a shady area while donning a plunging black swimsuit while a towel was wrapped on top of her head. During the trip, both Ratajkowski and her son had the chance to spend quality time together - and in one snap, the pair posed in their swimwear. They stood next to a tree on a dirt path with the model wearing a pair of mini yellow bottoms and a patterned bikini top. She added a red button up on top and slipped into a pair of white flats. The Gone Girl actress snapped another selfie as she sat underneath a shady area while donning a plunging black swimsuit while a towel was wrapped on top of her head Another image was taken as Ratajkowski paused next to a vintage red car outside what appeared to be a scenic hotel. She also showcased her airport style as both she and her son Sly waited to board their plane. The beauty opted for a strapless white tube top as well as a pair of low-waisted, brown trousers. Her son had a blast during the vacation and was filmed dancing as a man sang an Italian song at a restaurant. Ratajkowski also gave her followers a glimpse at some of the stylish outfits she wore last week in NYC while promoting her latest Netflix series titled Too Much. Lastly, the star shared snaps that revealed some of the tasty meals she was able to indulge in on the trip. She also showed off the swimming pool that was located at the hotel and filmed another clip while enjoying a drive in Italy. Over the past weekend, Ratajkowski turned up the heat while showcasing her figure in a skimpy black swimsuit that had a deep plunging neckline on the front that fell down towards her lower midriff. Ratajkowski also gave her followers a glimpse at some of the stylish outfits she wore last week in NYC while promoting her latest Netflix series titled Too Much She modeled the head-turning look while spending time inside a luxurious villa near the Adriatic Sea which borders the eastern side of Italy. Ratajkowski has had a busy summer thus far, and recently promoted her new Netflix show Too Much, which was released on the streaming site on July 10. In the series - which was created by Lena Dunham and her husband Luis Felber - the star portrays the character of Wendy Jones. The My Body author wowed in an assortment of ensembles while stopping by talk shows in the Big Apple - including a vibrant blue snakeskin minidress from Gucci. She also dished on 'decentering' men as she stopped by the Today show while talking to hosts Jenna Bush Hager and guest co-host Willie Geist. At one point, Ratajkowski was questioned if it was true that she has been 'deprioritizing' men in her life. 'Well, the kids say decentering,' she lightly joked, and elaborated to the Today hosts that it was true. 'I am a single mom and I just really, I think as I've gotten older I started to really value community with other women particularly. And that's definitely a priority for me.' She added, 'I think it's one of the best parts about living in New York as I get to meet so many amazing women and queer people. And yeah, I really value community these days.' Following her split from her husband, Emily seemingly came out as bisexual in October 2022 after posting a TikTok clip. The following month, she expressed to Harper's Bazaar: 'I think sexuality is on a sliding scale. I don't really believe in straight people.' Ratajkowski later said, 'I want to be able to have fun with how I present myself in the world without feeling like I'm a bad feminist or a good feminist. Duh. I don't want to be a part of your club if you don't want to have me. It's fine!' Also last week, it was revealed that her ex-boyfriend Pete Davidson is expecting his first child with model girlfriend Elsie Hewitt.

Aldi selling TikTok viral health drink for just £1.49 as shoppers hail it ‘amazing'
A NEW TikTok health craze is hitting Aldi shelves — and it's only £1.49. Shoppers are raving about the budget supermarket's brand-new drink, calling it 'amazing'. 6 Available in stores across the UK from July 24th, Aldi's Original and Strawberry Matcha Lattes (84g) are already causing a stir online. The excitement follows a viral post by British nutritionist and TikTok star GQ Jordan, who shared five creative ways to use the powdered drink — and fans can't get enough. The green tea blend has become a must-have ingredient in kitchens up and down the country, thanks to Jordan's unexpected twist on traditional recipes. She's managed to whip up everything from cottage cheese ice cream to creamy hummus, all using matcha as the star flavour. In the video, GQ Jordan also shows how to make a vibrant matcha pesto pasta, rich matcha French toast, and even bite-sized matcha cheesecakes — proving the viral drink isn't just for sipping. Her fans were quick to react, with one saying: 'These look amazing! "Who knew you could create so many different recipes with Matcha.' It's not the first time a TikTok trend has had shoppers flocking to Aldi, but this one is proving especially popular with health -conscious buyers. Many are ditching their usual coffees and teas in favour of this green powerhouse, known for its antioxidant benefits and gentle caffeine boost. The matcha lattes come in two flavours — classic Original and fruity Strawberry — both designed to be mixed with water or milk for an easy at-home drink. 'Absolutely delicious' shopper exclaims at new Aldi summer bargain essential that's perfect for BBQs But thanks to GQ Jordan's inspiration, shoppers are now experimenting far beyond the mug. It's not the first time TikTok has helped turn an Aldi product into a must-have. Earlier this year, the retailer's high-protein puddings became a viral sensation, praised by fitness influencers as the perfect post-gym snack. Frozen avocado chunks also took off after TikTokers revealed their go-to smoothie hack — a fuss-free, freezer-friendly way to get your greens. Beauty lovers, meanwhile, have flocked to Aldi for its £1.99 collagen shots, touted online as affordable alternatives to premium wellness brands. Even recipe hacks have taken hold, like air fryer pizza wraps made with Aldi tortilla wraps — a quick, crispy snack that exploded in popularity. And thanks to TikTok's love of budget 'dupes,' Aldi's shelves are constantly being scoured for lookalikes of trending protein bars and snacks, offering big savings without compromising on flavour. 6 6 6
