Hotel Location: center

Amid the gracious 19th century brownstones of historic Murray Hill, the Shelburne provides an elegant retreat. Traditional European style, modern facilities and convenient midtown location attract sophisticated corporate and leisure travelers alike. The hotel also offers spectacular views of the Empire State Building and the Manhattan skyline from its unique rooftop garden. The rooftop garden offers a quiet oasis high above midtown for social gatherings or special events. Rare Bar & Grill brings an entirely new concept to casual dining with a high-end approach to one of the most popular foods - the hamburger. Capitalizing on the recent trend toward comfort cuisine and catering to New Yorkers desire for upscale dining, Rare puts a unique spin on this all-American favorite by creating the gourmet burger. The menu features burgers made from unexpected ingredients such as shrimp and crab, barbecued pork, salmon and even vegetables. Unusual toppings include grilled portabello mushrooms, caramelized onions, chili ketchup and Rares special sauce. The space resembles a cozy steakhouse with walls in deep red and khaki, wood-beamed ceiling with recessed lighting, and a beautiful oak bar.
