New York is a city that likes to do things big and their choice of accommodation is no exception. In fact, if you were fortunate enough to live for 181 years; you could stay in a different hotel room each night without having to see the same wallpaper twice.

New York also knows a thing or two about luxury; and one of them is that you've got to pay for it. Top hotel suites can rival the GNP of developing nations, but if you can make the financial grade it's the stuff that memories are made of. The big apple has more grand dames than a tea-party at Buckingham Palace, but two regularly fight it out for the guidebook number one spot: The Plaza on Fifth Avenue (which has featured in movies including: North by Northwest , The Great Gatsby and Crocodile Dundee ) and the sumptuous New York Palace on Madison Avenue. Slightly more affordable luxury can be had at revamped art deco masterpiece that is Park Avenue 's Waldorf-Astoria.

Designer and boutique hotels represent the more contemporary face of New York 's chic hotel scene, and things don't get more hip than Ian Schrager's downtown Royalton or the painfully sophisticated Mercer. If any further proof is needed just flick through the pages of their guest book, which read like a copy of Who's Who .

With a bit of detective work you should be able to get a decent mid-range hotel for somewhere between $100-175. You'll get a substantially better deal if you're prepared to plump for one of the well-known international chain hotels, although you might have to compromise on style. Top dogs include: Comfort Inn, Best Western and Ramada Inn.

New York has plenty of budget accommodation options including one and two star hotels, bed and breakfasts and hostels. The latter are hands-down the cheapest, and you should be able to get a comfortable dormitory bed in a clean hostel for $30. Many hostels (including all the YMCAs) have single and double rooms, but don't expect to get much change from a $100 note. While putting your finger on what makes a good hotel is relatively straightforward, the social aspect of hostelling makes it a more subjective experience. The question is 'do you want a good time or do you want a good nights' sleep. The following hostels are well-known for offering both: Jazz on the Park (Central Park West), Vanderbilt YMCA ( East 47th Street ) and Hostelling International New York ( Amsterdam Avenue ).
