NEW YORK, Oct. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Condé Nast Traveler has announced the results of its annual Readers' Choice Awards with Lightstone's Moxy Hotels awarded as top hotels in New York City and Miami. Moxy East Village, Moxy Times Square, and Moxy Chelsea were recognized as the 14^th, 15^th, and 16^th best hotels in the city, respectively. Moxy South Beach was named the 9^th best hotel in Miami. This represents the third consecutive year that Moxy Chelsea and Moxy Times Square have been recognized among the top 20 hotels in New York City.

More than 240,000 Condé Nast Traveler readers submitted responses rating their travel experiences across the globe to provide a full snapshot of the top places they enjoyed this year and can't wait to return to next. The Readers' Choice Awards are the longest-running and most prestigious recognition of excellence in the travel industry and the full list of winners can be found here. 

"We are honored to be recognized by our guests who share an appreciation for Moxy's immersive and playful experiences, award-winning design, and unmatched service," shared Mitchell Hochberg, President of Lightstone. "We are particularly honored to be the only brand and owner to have all of our New York City hotels within the city's top 20 list."

Lightstone's Moxy hotels are uniquely responsive to today's travelers who are cost-conscious, but with a higher level of discernment and greater expectations. By partnering with leading interior designers to create cozy, adaptable guestrooms coupled with activated public spaces, each hotel is designed to foster memorable experiences and meaningful social interactions, not just a place to sleep. The pioneer and flagship was Moxy Times Square in 2017, followed in 2019 by Moxy Chelsea, the Flower District's refined yet playful "secret garden," and Moxy East Village, whose design reflects the neighborhood's historically rebellious spirit. 2021 brought Moxy South Beach, the brand's first resort-style hotel, while Moxy Lower East Side will debut in October 2022. Moxy Downtown Los Angeles and AC Hotel Downtown Los Angeles as well as New York'sMoxy Williamsburg are all slated to open in the coming months.
