Fodor's Expert Review Bellasera Resort

This hotel is just far enough "off Fifth" to be away from the dining-and-shopping foot traffic but close enough for convenience, and it feels like a lovely Italian villa with its red-tile roofs and burnt-ocher stucco. The studios and suites, with earthy hues and marble flooring, huddle three stories high around a beautifully tiled pool, fountain, and courtyard. Cabanas line the pool on two sides, and The Claw Bar restaurant flows out onto a pretty trellis-covered patio on another. The studios have in-room whirlpool tubs with shutters opening onto the master bedroom, so you can watch TV from your bubble bath.
