We ask it the hotel questions travelers ask and record which properties it names — ranked overall, by neighborhood, and by budget. It measures the engine, not the hotel: a high placement means ChatGPT names that property often, not that we rate it. ## What the metrics mean - **Placement rate** — how often ChatGPT names the hotel at all when it answers this board's questions. - **Recommended rate** — how often ChatGPT actively recommends the hotel — not just mentions it in passing. - **Top-pick rate** — how often the hotel is ChatGPT's top pick, first on the list. Percentages come with a 95% confidence range in the published data. Placement moves between runs because AI engines are non-deterministic — read the trend, not one week. ## Citywide board — top 20 | # | Hotel | Neighborhood | Recommended rate | Placement rate | Top-pick rate | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | The Greenwich Hotel | Tribeca | 44.6% | 44.9% | 8.2% | | 2 | The Whitby Hotel | Midtown West | 26.7% | 27% | 2% | | 3 | Aman New York | Midtown / Fifth Avenue | 23.6% | 23.9% | 7.7% | | 4 | The St. Regis New York | Midtown East | 21.9% | 22.2% | 0% | | 5 | Nine Orchard | Lower East Side | 20.2% | 20.2% | 1.7% | | 6 | Waldorf Astoria New York | Midtown East | 17.9% | 18.2% | 0% | | 7 | The Algonquin Hotel Times Square, Autograph Collection | Midtown | 17.9% | 17.9% | 0% | | 8 | The Lowell | Upper East Side | 15.3% | 15.3% | 1.7% | | 9 | 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge New York | — | 15.3% | 15.3% | 1.4% | | 10 | Lotte New York Palace | Midtown East | 14.8% | 14.8% | 0.6% | | 11 | The Pierre, A Taj Hotel, New York | Upper East Side | 13.4% | 13.4% | 0% | | 12 | The Ludlow Hotel | Lower East Side | 12.8% | 12.8% | 0.3% | | 13 | Warren Street Hotel | Tribeca | 11.9% | 11.9% | 0.6% | | 14 | The Langham, New York, Fifth Avenue | Midtown South | 11.6% | 11.6% | 4% | | 15 | Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown | Tribeca | 11.6% | 11.6% | 0.6% | | 16 | Wythe Hotel | Williamsburg | 11.4% | 11.4% | 0% | | 17 | The Standard, High Line | Meatpacking District | 11.1% | 11.4% | 0% | | 18 | The Mercer | SoHo | 9.7% | 9.7% | 0% | | 19 | The Manner, The Unbound Collection By Hyatt Hotel New York | SoHo | 8.8% | 9.1% | 1.7% | | 20 | The Knickerbocker | Times Square | 8.8% | 9.1% | 0% | Full boards, including every neighborhood and budget board, are in the data files below. ## Boards - Overall — all NYC — 113 hotels (`__head__`) - Brooklyn — 23 hotels (`district:brooklyn`) - Lower Manhattan — 43 hotels (`district:lower-manhattan`) - Midtown — 84 hotels (`district:midtown`) - Queens — 18 hotels (`district:queens`) - Uptown & Central Park — 22 hotels (`district:uptown`) - West Village & Chelsea — 26 hotels (`district:west-village-chelsea`) - Budget-friendly — 103 hotels (`price:budget`) - Luxury — 41 hotels (`price:luxury`) - Mid-tier — 108 hotels (`price:midtier`) - Central Park South — 8 hotels (`zone:central-park-south`) - Chelsea — 27 hotels (`zone:chelsea`) - DUMBO & Downtown Brooklyn — 11 hotels (`zone:dumbo`) - Financial District & Battery Park — 30 hotels (`zone:financial-district`) - Greenwich Village, Union Sq & Flatiron — 29 hotels (`zone:greenwich-village`) - Lower East Side & East Village — 29 hotels (`zone:lower-east-side`) - Midtown East — 59 hotels (`zone:midtown-east`) - NoMad & Midtown South — 72 hotels (`zone:nomad`) - SoHo & Hudson Square — 12 hotels (`zone:soho`) - Times Square & Midtown West — 83 hotels (`zone:times-square`) - Tribeca — 10 hotels (`zone:tribeca`) - Upper East Side — 10 hotels (`zone:upper-east-side`) - Upper West Side — 22 hotels (`zone:upper-west-side`) - Williamsburg & Greenpoint — 14 hotels (`zone:williamsburg`) ## Data, method and reuse - JSON: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/new-york/ranking.json - CSV: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/new-york/ranking.csv - Methodology and disclosures: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/methodology/ - License: CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) - Cite as: Sigtrip AI Hotel Ranking, https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/new-york/, measured 2026-08-24.
