More than 800,000 Condé Nast Traveler readers submitted responses rating their travel experiences across the globe to provide a full snapshot about the places they can't wait to return to next. The Readers' Choice Awards are the longest-running and most prestigious recognition of excellence in the travel industry. The full list of winners can be found here.

"It's rewarding to see that our guests once again voted for us on Condé Nast Traveler's distinguished list of the Top 25 Hotels in New York City," said Mitchell Hochberg, President of Lightstone. "Our guests and Conde Nast Traveler readers have spoken, recognizing that our hotels satisfy their desire for memorable experiences and meaningful social interactions, not just a place to sleep."

Moxy Chelsea blends botanically inspired design with Italian romance and packs in all the amenities with none of the price tag. Cozy bedrooms, designed with intelligence—and a touch of wit—are flooded with light thanks to floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall windows. The building's architecture honors the neighborhood with its industrial facade and soaring, greenhouse-style atrium. Guests enter through an overgrown flower shop that doubles as the hotel's entrance. New bars and restaurants by TAO Group include Feroce Ristorante, Feroce Caffè, and Bar Feroce - dining and drinking concepts in partnership with Francesco Panella of the legendary Antica Pesa in Rome and Brooklyn. Topping off the hotel is The Fleur Room, a glass-enclosed rooftop lounge with panoramic, 360° views.

Moxy Times Square, an energetic alternative to the typical hotel experience, roves that affordability doesn't mean sacrificing style or comfort. 612 bedrooms are cleverly designed by Yabu Pushelberg to adapt to today's traveler's changing needs, with a wide variety of room types, flexible furniture, and oversized walk-in rain showers. New eating and drinking destinations operated by TAO Group include Magic Hour, NYC's largest all-season hotel rooftop bar and lounge that features an "urban amusement park" concept and epic skyline views; Legasea Bar & Grill, a neighborhood favorite serving a modern take on bar and grill classics; and Bar Moxy, a communal lobby bar. Blind Barber, a NYC based barber shop, provides cuts, shaves, and blow dry & style services from their lobby shop. Famed celebrity tattoo artist JonBoy offers coveted tattoo appointments five days a week in his personalized studio in Bar Moxy.

The 2021 Readers' Choice Awards are published on Condé Nast Traveler's website at cntraveler.com/rca and celebrated in the November issue.
