New York City is back and better than ever thanks to a slew of new hotels that have opened since the pandemic halted travel. With different price points, travelers to the most populous U.S. city have plenty of opportunities to earn and redeem points during their visit.

It’s not just in Midtown Manhattan where new hotels for points collectors have opened. There are also new options near the revitalized LaGuardia airport, the downtown financial district and the always-abuzz Chelsea neighborhood. Here are just a few of the new hotels in New York to consider for your next trip.

IHG One Rewards members can experience one of the company’s newest brands during their stay, enjoying the lobby-level bar and restaurant area or the greenhouse-style rooftop patio. Guest rooms have large windows, plus bedding and bathrooms stocked with Brooklyn-made Apotheke toiletries.

IHG One Rewards uses dynamic pricing for hotel redemptions, which means the cost in points varies based on date and room type.

For IHG fans who need to be in the financial area of town, the new Hotel Indigo NYC Downtown – Financial District is at the corner of the iconic Wall and Water streets. Aside from its chic interiors, it also has almost a dozen rooms with walk-out balconies.

A redemption night here will vary depending on the time of year, but since this area is liveliest on weekdays, it could offer solid bargain travel opportunities on weekend nights.

The Hyatt Place New York Chelsea puts guests in the middle of great shopping and dining plus walking distance to attractions like Hudson Yards, the High Line, Madison Square Garden and the Empire State Building.

New York has no shortage of luxury hotels, but there is always demand for more. The new Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad blends modern style with the hotel’s long history of service provided by the “ladies and gentlemen” of Ritz-Carlton, the term that the brand gives its staff. Of Michelin star fame, Chef José Andrés oversees the hotel’s restaurant serving Greek, Turkish and Lebanese recipes from around the Mediterranean.

Marriott Bonvoy no longer has an award chart. Instead, it uses a dynamic pricing model that takes into account local demand and seasonality when determining the number of points required for a redemption.

5. Renaissance New York Flushing (Marriott Bonvoy)

Only 10 minutes from LaGuardia, the new Renaissance New York Flushing (the first Renaissance hotel in Queens) is one of the newest options to open by the bustling New York airport. The rooftop bar and lounge are popular places to get some fresh air before a day of flying.

If you prefer not to pay the high rates of hotels in Manhattan, this is a solid option for Marriott Bonvoy fans. Guests here will pay a varying number of points each night since Marriott Bonvoy now uses dynamic pricing.

6. Motto by Hilton New York Chelsea (Hilton Honors)

The Motto brand is one of Hilton Honors’ newest, and the new Motto by Hilton New York Chelsea offers a variety of different “travel-sized” rooms measuring under 200 square feet on average. This includes rooms with bunk beds for friends and family traveling together.

At 42 floors, it offers great views of the Chelsea neighborhood, and it is close to the Flatiron Building and Madison Square Park — right in the heart of the action. Since Hilton Honors operates with a dynamic pricing model for award redemptions, the number of points needed to stay varies by day.
