Relax in These 10 Gorgeous NYC Airbnbs with Hot Tubs

From luxury high-rises with a view to an Airstream with a private garden, these spaces will have you booking your stay again and again.

There's really nothing else in the world that beats relaxing in a hot tub after a long day of exploring a new city. While you could try your chances at a hotel hot tub, there's no promises the hotel you book will have one, and the other guests' kids playing Marco Polo can tend to ruin the ambiance.

If you're looking for the perfect place to stay in NYC where you can enjoy a calming and private atmosphere at night after a wild day of navigating tourist hot-spots, these comfortable and unique Airbnbs all have one thing in common that are sure to impress you: their very own hot tub. Perfect for your next vacation (or staycation), these picks offer a variety of great amenities, privacy, unique experiences and a relaxing mood. Unlike some hotels, you'll actually have space to unpack your suitcase. You'll also get to know some cool New York neighborhoods a little bit better than you would if you stuck to Times Square.

Sure, you could pay an arm and a leg to stay in a tiny, cramped room at a hotel in Midtown where you'll be kept up all night listening to the soothing sounds of traffic and construction, but there's really no replacement for the cozy privacy that an Airbnb can offer, plus most of the ones we've picked come with stocked kitchens, private outdoor spaces, great views and room for more than two people at a time without sacrificing your own space.

Hot tub with a skyline view? Sign us up. This penthouse suite in DUMBO Brooklyn gives guests the perfect view of the Manhattan skyline. After all, you can't exactly see the gorgeous view of Manhattan when you're staying in Manhattan yourself. While it's not technically a hot tub and actually a jetted tub that gets drained after each use like a bathtub, this indoor option means it's perfect year-round and lets you gawk at the city views from the comforts of your own bedroom. It sleeps two guests (and fits two in the tub), making it the perfect location for your next romantic getaway. The view from those floor-to-ceiling windows alone will have you rebooking for another stay.

Manhattan bound? This Upper West Side place will let you live in the lap of luxury without having to sacrifice your proximity to tourist hot spots like Times Square, Central Park and the Theater District.

If you find the time to indulge in the building amenities in between Broadway shows, you'll never want to leave.

Who said NYC has to be crowded, dark and dingy? This gorgeous two bedroom sleeps up to six guests, and as a rooftop terrace, it gets great sunlight during the day. Guests can enjoy the outdoor rooftop hot tub, grill and fireplace that will have you feeling more like you're staying at a wellness retreat than a mere subway ride away from all the hustle and bustle that is The Big Apple. Great for families that may want to unwind at night a little farther away from wild Manhattan, this property is only five minutes away from La Guardia Airport, according to the owners, so no need to worry about missing your flight.

Since it's on the ground floor and doesn't require you walk up any steps, those who may not be physically able to trek up a staircase will appreciate how unique that is for NYC properties.
