The Loft Suite at The Tuscany, New York

28/12/17 ᛫ 4 Comments

For our final 2 nights in New York City we checked in to The Tuscany, which is a signature hotel within the international St Giles Hotel Group. Located at 120 E 39th Street, the hotel was conveniently located on the east side of Midtown. Before arriving, I already knew that The Tuscany New York was exactly the type of hotel I love to stay in; boutique, personal and stylish. What I didn’t know however, that we were about to check in to the hotel’s Loft Suite. Unbeknownst to us, we had saved the best to last.

Our yellow cab pulled up outside The Tuscany New York and I recognised the façade from the photos I had seen. ‘The Tuscany’ glowed in a red sign above the typical New York awning above the main entrance. After being greeted by an attentive doorman who took our luggage, we quickly checked in inside the calm and elegant lobby.

The Loft Suite

Walking through the doors of The Loft Suite at The Tuscany was a pretty special moment. The spacious suite was 700 square foot and had bold and contemporary interiors. A long corridor with huge freestanding mirror led the way down to the bedroom. To the right of the corridor was the spacious lounge area, compete with mini bar, sink and oven. The beautiful suite exceeded all of my expectations, but there was one more surprise left for us to discover.

My friend Harriet looked out of the window. “Oh my god, you have to come and see this view”. I jumped off the armchair and peered out into the dark skyline. There it was, the Empire State Building was in picture perfect sight.

"It was that iconic cityscape view that every visitor in New York dreams of arriving to, and waking up to"

A Cloud-Like Bed with Minimal Street Noise

The bed at The Tuscany was without a doubt the best bed I slept in during my time in New York. The sheets were silky soft, the pillows were fluffy and the mattress below felt like a cloud. There was no better feeling than crashing into this bed after two busy days of exploring the city. I loved that the suite looked out on to buildings but no immediate street, which meant that the room had very little noise disruption (something quite rare for New York hotel rooms).

The Location

Out of the three hotels I stayed in in New York, I would say that The Tuscany probably felt in the most leafy, residential area (it’s located in the Murray Hill neighbourhood of Midtown). Despite this we found that The Tuscany was in incredibly close walking distance to Grand Central Station (an iconic must-see for anyone visiting New York). It’s also close by to Bryant Park, The Empire State Building and Fifth Avenue’s restaurant and shops.

The Verdict

If you’re looking for a quiet yet stylish hotel in central Manhattan then The Tuscany New York may be ideal for you. With only 124 room and suites, the hotel feels intimate and the service is personal.

I had too many words about 2022 for a caption, so I’ve put them all into a blog post. 

My “2022 year in review” is live on The Travelista. It’s a longer, personal blog post about lessons, learnings, achievements and travels from year just gone, as well as my hopes and goals for 2023. I’ve put a link on stories for anyone interested. 😊

Whether you’re new here or you’ve followed my journey for years, thank you so much for being here, for every like, comment and share. It is this amazing, supportive and loyal community that has enabled me to quit my job this year and return to doing this full time again post Covid.

Merry Christmas from my family to yours ♥️.
Before I sign off for a little Christmas social me Before I sign off for a little Christmas social media break, here’s a festive photo dump of the past week + sharing my favourite poem🕯🎄🥂

Featuring 

➕ A lunch to @bettys with the girls. Making a new tradition. 
➕ A family visit to @castle_howard for their spectacular #IntotheWoods Christmas experience. Phenomenal. We go every year and it just gets better and better.
➕ Carols by candlelight at our local church - magic - but so many layers because the heating was broken!
➕ Dust if you Must by Rose Milligan. The perfect tonic in the (potentially stressful) build up to Christmas. 

We are hosting family this year and I’m excited! I’d love my house to look like a festive show home but it doesn’t, and that’s ok. (I have a 4 year old making mess twice as fast as I can tidy it). 

Fellow hosts, don’t be so busy ‘dusting’ that you miss all the little moments of magic! I’m reminding myself of this too. Swipe to read the poem and you’ll get it. ♥️

Wishing you a perfectly imperfect Christmas 🎄 

Love Jess x

We are all feeling the pinch this year with the rising cost of living, so I set myself a challenge to find gifts for under £30. By shopping at outlets like Junction 32, which has over 80 brands offering up to 60% off the retail price, your money truly does go so much further. ♥️

What gifts I bought;

✔️ Slippers from @radleylondon RRP £40 J32 Price £20
✔️Himalayam charcoal gift set from @thebodyshop RRP £36.00 J32 Price £29.50
✔️Wax cheese wheels from independent retailer @themousehouse_lincoln £3 for £16
✔️Children’s cutlery set from @procookuk RRP £10 J32 Price £7

As usual J32 had some brilliant items on offer and a huge amount of choice, even this far into December.

Have you got any last minute Christmas shopping to do? I think I am finally done! 🛍
