As the drama of the transfer window begins to die down, Premier League clubs will now have to make do with their current squads until January.

The big spenders in the division have bolstered, the middle of the road sides have made significant additions and the teams expected to fight it out at the bottom of table have also added to their ranks.

Transfers can make or break a side’s fate during this 38-game marathon, with some teams certain to be cursing their luck that they couldn’t get a major deal over the line or ecstatic that their brand-new signing has come good.

Supporters of each Premier League team will have their own minds already made up about their activity, but how does Mail Sport rank your team’s dealings?

Here, we reveal our A-E transfer ratings…

Arsenal – B

Arsenal have added well during this transfer window, bringing in faces such as Ajax centre back Jurrien Timber and Chelsea attacker Kai Havertz, alongside the mega money also splashed on Declan Rice from West Ham.

Timber’s long-term injury so early into his Gunners career will be a disappointment for Mikel Arteta’s men, though, while Havertz’s up-and-down time at Stamford Bridge raises question marks about his credentials.

Selling Granit Xhaka has barely been felt in north London, however, with Rice slotting into that central area with ease.

The astronomical £105m transfer fee for the ex-Hammers man saw rivals Manchester City back out of the deal, but his start at Arsenal shows it was a move worth pursuing.

Aston Villa – A

Aston Villa’s transfer business stands out and shows their ambition. Certainly, Unai Emery will want to prove their seventh-placed finish last season was no fluke.

Villa are an attractive outfit to join, clinching European Conference League football recently after destroying Hibernian over two legs to officially make the group stages.

The European market has been smartly exploited this transfer window by the Midlands side, showcased by the signings of Moussa Diaby from Bayer Leverkusen and Pau Torres from Villarreal.

Diaby, an exciting talent who is already impressing in England, has scored twice so far in his new surroundings.

Villa have also been smart with their business, sealing a deal for Youri Tielemans on a free transfer while also securing a loan move for Clement Lenglet from Barcelona.

Bournemouth – A

Bournemouth fans will be delighted by their activity this window with new Spanish head coach Andoni Iraola opting for plenty of young talent to add to his squad.

Signings such as Max Aarons, Alex Scott, Tyler Adams and Luis Sinisterra saw the Cherries fishing for top quality Championship talent, a strategy that could pay off for a club still seen as relative minnows in the top flight.

They have, however, shown that they can be successful in attracting players from Europe, with Justin Kluivert arriving from Italy, alongside major deals from Serie A and Ligue 1 for Hamed Traore and Romain Faivre respectively.

Traore, of course, spent the second half of last season on loan at the club. 

Worries surrounding Bournemouth were fixed on claims that last season’s survival would then be followed up by a collapse back down to the Championship.

But, with the transfer business they’ve managed, they could be dark horses again.

Brentford – C

Ivan Toney’s absence hasn’t necessarily negatively impacted Brentford’s start to the season, with Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa filling in with the goals needed.

Still, Brentford’s transfer window has been underwhelming despite the positives emerging, with a lack of new recruits joining the club.

It’s been understated business with Nathan Collins joining from Wolves, alongside a pair of moves from the Bundesliga in Kevin Schade and Mark Flekken.

Goalkeeper Flekken was a shrewd buy to soften the blow of David Raya joining Arsenal, while Schade’s goal against Crystal Palace shows that Brentford have a raw, emerging talent on their hands.

Yet, it’s not headline-grabbing. It’s more middle-of-the-road for the West Londoners.

Brighton – A+

The Seagulls have arguably won this transfer window, even after waving goodbye to star midfielders Moises Caicedo and Alexis Mac Allister.

Flying high early into the brand new Premier League campaign, the signings made this summer should see Brighton continue to take the top flight by storm.

Joao Pedro joined from Watford with some critiquing his attitude, but he’s started life in Brighton’s blue and white effortlessly and seems an ideal fit under Roberto de Zerbi.

Scoring against Luton on the opening day, he’s one to watch out for.

Likewise, moves for Mahmoud Dahoud and James Milner give Brighton more midfield options, as does Igor defensively.

The statement loan signing of Ansu Fati from Barcelona has sent shockwaves through the Premier League.

The once League One club are now attracting a player that was at one time dubbed the heir to Lionel Messi’s throne at the Nou Camp.

Burnley – B

Vincent Kompany’s Burnley came into the Premier League off a barnstorming promotion from the Championship, with the days of Sean Dyche’s pragmatic football now resigned to history.

They have recruited well for the step-up in certain areas, even stealing players from fellow promoted outfits.

Sander Berge has joined the Clarets from Sheffield United; a coup given the Norwegian international and central midfielder was previously on Liverpool’s radar.

They’ve also managed to sign Jordan Beyer permanently. The centre back impressed in the Championship last season while on loan, before returning for good.

The worry is that Burnley have splashed significant amounts of money on some unknown entities when it comes to the Premier League.

One example is goalkeeper James Trafford signing from Manchester City after only ever featuring in League One in senior football.

It’s a risky and bold strategy from the Clarets, but one that could pay off.

Chelsea – B

It’s fair to say Chelsea have been rampant in the market once again, with Stamford Bridge boasting a busy revolving door as Mauricio Pochettino retooled his side.

Todd Boehly has bankrolled some major signings, the pick of the bunch being Moises Caicedo finally arriving in London for a British record £115million fee.

Christopher Nkunku also arrived onto the scene for £53m from RB Leipzig before suffering a major injury.

Romeo Lavia, Nicolas Jackson and most recently Cole Palmer have all joined too, with eye-watering amounts of money spent in the blink of an eye from Boehly.

Pochettino’s men have started this season inconsistently, though he will hope that this new pool of exciting and expensive talent combines effectively to propel the Blues to a better position this time around.

Crystal Palace – C-

Roy Hodgson’s Eagles haven’t had the most exciting transfer window.

The major news involved Wilfried Zaha departing Palace for Galatasaray and Michael Olise staying put after Chelsea looked to trigger his release clause.

Zaha is a big loss for Hodgson’s men, a loss that arguably hasn’t been filled.

Palace have added a few players such as Matheus Franca, Dean Henderson and Jefferson Lerma, the last of these deals a shrewd buy with the former Bournemouth midfielder joining on a free transfer earlier this summer. 

Henderson does also give the Eagles another goalkeeping option to go with Sam Johnstone and is a positive transfer to draw a line under the Vicente Guaita saga.

But there are still gaps in Palace’s ranks that haven’t been adequately bolstered in a transfer window that could be characterised as underwhelming.

Everton – C+

Everton’s transfer window has been saved by recent transfer deals. Signing Beto from Udinese means they now have the striker they’ve been crying out for.

Beto scored on his debut against Doncaster Rovers recently when brought on in the Carabao Cup and he looks destined to please supporters.

Unfortunately, other bits of business have seen Everton opt for safer signings, with the arrival of Beto a stark contrast to the shoestring budget displayed elsewhere.

Ashley Young, who is now 38, isn’t a signing that screams glamour, even on a free.

Arnaut Danjuma and Jack Harrison, both on loan deals, saw Everton go for cheap deals to bolster their wide areas. 

Danjuma’s deal in particular feels like the Toffees haven’t explored much in recruiting new players, after the Dutchman turned them down last season to join Tottenham on loan instead.

Fulham – D

Fulham have lost significant players this transfer window, with serial goalscorer Aleksandar Mitrovic the high profile departure for Saudi Arabia.

The Cottagers did sign Raul Jimenez from Wolves to add a striker but it’s a deal that could be considered underwhelming, especially with Marco Silva’s side managing to acquire the Mexican on the cheap.

Calvin Bassey and Timothy Castagne do add defensive options for the West Londoners. However, Bassey was sent off in one of his first encounters for his new side during their draw at Arsenal.

Keeping Joao Palhinha from leaving on Deadline Day to Bayern Munich is a positive, though. 

Nonetheless, the bubble could well burst at Fulham this campaign after they performed so well last season to finish comfortably mid-table.

Liverpool – B-

Liverpool’s transfer window has seen multiple players pass Jurgen Klopp’s Reds by, Caicedo the most publicised transfer that never materialised.

Still, Liverpool have bounced back and recruited well.

Dominik Szoboszlai has impressed since arriving from RB Leipzig, as has his midfield partner Alexis Mac Allister, who joined from Brighton earlier this summer.

Liverpool might not have had Wataru Endo at the top of their shopping list coming into the summer window but he came into the fold at Anfield well-liked from his time at Stuttgart and showed his new club will remain frugal in the face of big money being brandished elsewhere by rivals.

Ryan Gravenberch has also joined from Ajax, a stylish addition.

Mohamed Salah stayed despite fierce interest from Saudi Arabia, meanwhile, and that has to be viewed as a positive after turning down a £150m offer.

Luton Town – B

The Hatters have begun their adventure in the Premier League with a bump, but their recruitment has been admirable in the face of adversity.

They’ve purchased players that have starred in the Football League, gems that might well flourish at the top of the pyramid given time.

Jacob Brown from Stoke City has impressed early on at Luton, and he is a striker who will put in a shift for this unfancied side.

Likewise, Ryan Giles, Tahith Chong and Mads Andersen have performed elsewhere in England, albeit never to the standards expected of them now in the top-flight.

Ross Barkley is an intriguing signing, the attacking midfielder once heralded as a star at Everton now a rogue free transfer deal for the Premier League new boys.

It will be fascinating to see whether or not these new faces can perform above expectation for Rob Edwards’ men to help them have any chance of survival.

Manchester City – A

Pep Guardiola and the powers that be at Manchester City are always methodical when it comes to their transfer business and know exactly who they want.

Losing Riyad Mahrez, Aymeric Laporte and Cole Palmer will sting, but City have gone out into the market and purchased excellent replacements.

Josko Gvardiol joins as one of the best centre-backs in world football, while Mateo Kovacic has looked head and shoulders above his Chelsea days already.

Matheus Nunes is also in the building now, causing a fuss at Wolves by striking from training to force through a move to Guardiola’s title-chasers, while winger Jeremy Doku is being tipped to terrorise full-backs after his move.

Manchester United – C

Manchester United’s business will certainly divide the club’s expectant fanbase.

New No 1 Andre Onana hasn’t quite stepped up to the mark just yet since joining from Inter Milan, though his backline have looked shaky during the early stages of the season.

Rasmus Hojlund has immense pressure on his shoulders to score goals for Erik ten Hag’s men after the Danish youngster moved to Manchester with a £72m price tag on his head despite only scoring nine goals for Atalanta last season.

Mason Mount also joined after a mixed time with Chelsea, although if they can unlock his best form this deal could prove to be a worthwhile one. He is, however, currently injured.

Sofyan Amrabat also joined from Fiorentina on deadline day, ending a lengthy saga, and he will be expected to hit the ground running in shoring up United’s midfield.

Newcastle United – A

Newcastle, despite having a bottomless pit of money, spent wisely to strengthen after delivering Champions League football last season.

Sandro Tonali’s debut against Aston Villa showed everyone why the Magpies swooped for him – the midfielder scoring on his debut and impressing.

Harvey Barnes has also stood out during his early appearances with his new club capitalising on Leicester’s fall to the Championship to sign the winger.

Newcastle have also invested for the future in the signing of boyhood fan Lewis Hall. Many Chelsea supporters were surprised and disappointed to see the academy star leave.

Bodies out the door will also please Magpies fans. Space was freed up after the dead wood departures of Chris Wood, Karl Darlow and Ryan Fraser.

Nottingham Forest – B-

Nottingham Forest’s summer transfer business, compared to last year’s manic window, was always going to be subdued this time around.

Steve Cooper’s team have gone about their dealings quietly, signing a number of players from the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal.

Anthony Elanga moved to the City Ground after failing to break into the Red Devils’ first team on a consistent basis, while right back Nuno Tavares joined on loan after fleeting moments of excellence in an Arsenal shirt.

It remains to be seen whether these players can make an impression.

Gonzalo Montiel may be the pick of the bunch from the new personnel, the 26-year-old an experienced centre-back in LaLiga for Sevilla prior to this move. He joins on loan to give the likes of Joe Worrall competition.

However, Ibrahim Sangare has also joined from PSV, with Divock Origi arriving on loan from AC Milan. 

Similarly to Newcastle, Forest have also managed to offload fringe players that had fallen down the pecking order such as Steve Cook and Jack Colback.

Sheffield United – D+

Sheffield United, going into the new Premier League season, lost both of their prized assets.

Iliman N’Diaye was tipped for a breakout campaign, the attacker – who only a matter of seasons ago was playing in non-league – electric in the Championship.

That was until Ligue 1 giants Marseille came calling, with the 23-year-old packing his bags and leaving on the eve of the top-flight season.

To make matters worse, Sander Berge also left Bramall Lane for Burnley.

But new recruits have softened the blow of both these players exiting, Gustavo Hamer in particular endearing himself to the Blades faithful with a debut goal.

Cameron Archer is the new star striker on the block for Paul Heckingbottom’s side, though the pressure is on him to succeed in a demanding league.

James McAtee back on loan on deadline day was a shrewd signing, with potential relegation rivals Wolves beaten to the chase.

Tottenham – B

With a new manager at the helm and Harry Kane gone, Tottenham fans have had to endure lots of change in a short period of time.

The influx of players in at Spurs hasn’t helped that, either.

James Maddison has excelled early on in his new surroundings, the attacking midfielder scoring his first goal for Tottenham against Bournemouth last time out.

He’s also assisted two goals, helping his team draw 2-2 at Brentford in their opener.

A revelation so far during this new dawn has been young full back Destiny Udogie, a standout player for Spurs after originally signing back in the summer of 2022.

Loaned out to Udinese, his presence back in the fold at Spurs this campaign makes him feel like fresh blood.

The future’s looking bright for Postecoglou’s new-look Spurs, even in the wake of Kane’s £100m departure to Bayern Munich, with Brennan Johnson snapped up, too.

West Ham United – C

David Moyes’ Hammers are performing superbly so far in the Premier League.

This is despite an uneventful transfer window at the London Stadium, James Ward-Prowse the marquee signing in the centre of the park from relegated Southampton.

Mohammed Kudus also looks like a talent coming in from Ajax, with the Hammers pleased to get that deal over the line owing to interest from other potential suitors.

They will be somewhat disappointed by Harry Maguire not leaving Manchester United, the proposed deal having been on before eventually collapsing.

Still, West Ham will hope that a few major additions will be enough to succeed.

Wolves – D-

Gary O’Neil’s men are the last team to be ranked and they receive the most scathing verdict.

Wolves’ transfer outgoings make for grim reading. Indeed, Matheus Nunes, Ruben Neves, Joao Moutinho, Ryan Giles and more have all left Molineux behind.

Managing to steer Bournemouth to survival against all odds, rookie O’Neil has been drafted in to hopefully do the same for a threadbare Wolves team.

Players have joined to try and plug glaring gaps, but it feels like a losing battle.

Wolves opted to bring back Matt Doherty on a free transfer and secure a cheap deal for Tom King from Northampton. It smacks of desperation.

Supporters will hope, perhaps in vain, that players such as Tommy Doyle and Santiago Bueno can lead their side to survival and perform above expectation.

America’s postcode lottery for the price of giving birth has been revealed in DailyMail.com interactive maps.

Based on data from healthcare insurance claims analyst FAIR Health, they show how the national average stands at $12,900 for a vaginal delivery and $15,500 for a C-section.

The costs ranged by as much as $13,000 for a vaginal delivery depending on where someone lives, with Alaska and New Jersey charging up to $21,000 for birth, while in Alabama and Louisiana, the price for the same procedure could be below $8,000.

The situation was worst for uninsured patients, who could face costs upwards of $50,000 for giving birth in the country.

Some states were more expensive because of their high cost of living and the fact that they had nationally renowned healthcare providers. 

On the other hand, states with a lower cost of living tended to have lower price tags for giving birth. The map comes as the number of births per year continues to trend downwards in the US, with many now waiting until later in life to have children.

For the analysis, FAIR Health looked at its database of 41billion claims — the largest in the US — and included those linked to giving birth in 2022.

These were claims for the actual birth — such as renting the labor room — and for tests afterward — like fetal stress and any scans.

The analysis calculated figures for people with health insurance, comprising 92 percent of the population and those without.

Patients will likely only need to pay a fraction of the total costs out-of-pocket — typically $2,500 to $3,000, with insurance companies footing the rest.

Major insurance groups like Cigna and Aetna negotiate the price of a birth or C-section with insurance companies, with patients later required to pay only a percentage of the total.

However, those who come to healthcare systems without insurance face much higher costs.

The costs were calculated for people who did not face complications, with those that do likely to face a larger bill. 

Broken down by state, the most expensive for vaginal delivery was Alaska ($21,525) and New York ($19,990).

Rounding out the top five were New Jersey ($18,688), Connecticut ($17,387) and Massachusetts ($16,731).

At the other end of the scale, there was Alabama ($7,840), Louisiana ($7,981) and Maryland ($9,183).

Alaska was also the most expensive state for C-sections, with the procedure priced at more than $25,000.  

The state was followed by New Jersey, also at $25,000, New York ($22,353) and Connecticut ($29,956) regarding C-section costs.

The cheapest state was Alabama, priced at $8,913, with Louisiana second at $8,995 and Maryland third at $9,856.

Alaska is one of the most expensive places for healthcare in the United States, including giving birth, partly because of its geographical isolation.

This leads to higher costs for getting vital medical supplies to the state, while the limited competition — due to fewer providers — allows those there to charge more.

The costs of giving birth in Alaska are also forced by its high cost of living, with people needing to earn more to live comfortably in the state.

The cost of giving birth is also higher in the New York metropolitan area — New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

This may be linked to it having a higher quality healthcare system, with hospitals there often ranking among the best in the country, alongside the higher cost of living in the area.

Women giving birth in these areas may also face higher insurance premiums and deductibles due to the higher cost of living, also inflating prices.

At the other end of the scale were the southern states — particularly Alabama — for both vaginal deliveries and C-sections.

This is likely driven by the state having a lower cost of living and, as a result, being able to charge less for healthcare than in other areas.

It also has a low population density, which can result in less demand for healthcare — which would also help to push down prices. 

Robin Gelburd, the president of FAIR Health, said that Alaska’s high prices were due to its ‘remote geography and practice settings, cost of travel and potential lack of access to practitioners and relevant facilities.’

On Alabama, he said this was a state with ‘a relatively low cost of living that translates generally into lower cost of healthcare’.

He added: ‘The lower prices may also be a reflection of the reimbursement rates negotiated between plans and providers in the South and the relative negotiating power of the parties.’ 

It comes after it was revealed that a record number of women are now waiting until they hit their 40s to have children. 

Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showed that the birth rate for women aged 40 to 44 rose four percent 2022 from the previous year to a record high.

There was also a 12 percent uptick among women aged 45 to 49, the first change in this rate since 2015, and to another record level.

Experts say that more people are putting off starting a family until later in life, instead focusing on their career, travel and social life in their younger years. The cost of giving birth and becoming a mother is also a factor.

The rise of technologies such as invitro-fertilization (IVF) and egg freezing have also played a role.

The uptick among older women comes as America’s fertility rate hovers at just below 1.7 births per woman. It hit a record low in 2020 at 1.6 when the pandemic led many couples to put off having children.

The data was released as a ‘Cost of Giving Birth’ tracker on the FAIR Health website.

Its president Robin Gelburd said: ‘FAIR Health is pleased to shine a light onto the costs of giving birth from state to state and nationally.

‘With the Cost of Giving Birth tracker, we once again use our vast data repository to inform healthcare stakeholders — including patients, policy-makers, payors and providers — on issues that matter to them.’ 

Travel writer Jo Kessel filmed her two-night voyage on one of the world’s most iconic ships. The footage shows her exclusive Princess Grill Suite (one of the ship’s highest-category cabins) and the perks that come with it. Plus, it has the inside scoop on the ship’s planetarium, its library with 10,000 books and a special cocktail called the ‘Transatlantic Love Affair’.

Luxury British cruise line Cunard is one of the world’s most prestigious and upmarket. Its flagship is the £850million Queen Mary 2, which is still the longest, tallest and most expensive liner ever built. 

It is also the world’s only ocean liner – designed to transport passengers across thousands of miles of wide, open Atlantic. All other vessels in the cruise industry are ships, not liners.

Cunard’s very first ocean liner was Britannia, built in 1840. Over the centuries there have been various incarnations with the 2,691-passenger Queen Mary 2 (QM2) being the most recent – its predecessor was the Queen Elizabeth 2. The line is constantly updating and refreshing and a few years ago the QM2 received a £90million facelift.

Sailing in any cabin on the QM2 is a bucket list experience. But its most exclusive accommodation are ‘Grill’ suites – deluxe cabins that come with their own VIP lounge, sun terrace and restaurant. Keen to see what staying in a top-dollar cabin on one of the world’s most iconic ships is like, I checked into a Princess Grill suite, hoping to capture it on camera.

The video starts by exploring Queen Mary’s exteriors. The top deck on most cruise ships has a central swimming pool, but not on the QM2. While there are pools – five in total – its core open deck is dedicated to classic cruise games like quoits, shuffleboard and paddle tennis, all great fun to play.

The mainstay of Queen Mary is its famed seven-day transatlantic crossing between Southampton and New York. It’s for these that the ship has such a unique design, with a wider-than-normal wraparound promenade as well as a vast expanse on the top deck for passengers to stretch their legs.

Occasionally the ship does sail elsewhere. Mine was a two-night mini-cruise from Southampton to Hamburg. From there the ship continued to the Norwegian fjords before returning to Atlantic crossings.

The QM2 is a historic ship whose classic interiors hark back to a bygone era. The footage reveals the grand atrium’s sweeping staircases – it’s impossible not to channel your inner Kate Winslet as you float down it. Equally impressive is its vast wooden library, complete with 10,000 books. The late Queen Elizabeth II (who is the godmother of this ship) found this space particularly inspiring when she toured the vessel prior to naming it in 2004.

Back in Titanic’s time passengers sailed first class, second class or steerage. And while today even Queen Mary’s cheapest cabins are pretty classy, the top-end cabins really do offer a taste of how first-class might have been. Ditto my Princess Grill suite, which is where the video heads next. 

It’s unbelievably spacious, decorated in royal reds and blues, with a walk-in wardrobe and an oversized balcony. If only it came with Leonardo di Caprio! It does come with other perks, however, including access to an exclusive lounge, sun terrace and restaurant.

Cunard has a reputation for being a glamorous, elegant line whose passengers love dressing for dinner and the film shows me getting glammed up for Gala night – it makes a pleasant change from jeans and a T-shirt. 

But would the exclusive restaurant reserved for Princess Grill suite guests really prove superior fine dining? The answer is a resounding yes. Sizzling in the frying pan was a rack of lamb, a speciality I’d had to pre-order earlier in the day. Not only was the artistry of it being prepared ‘a table’ a feast for the eyes, but the dish was a treat for the taste buds. It was melt-in-the-mouth superb; ditto the crepes Suzettes for dessert.

The remainder of the video offers a snapshot of the many activities available to make the most of a day at sea. On the schedule are dance classes galore – I tried the line-dancing one in the Queen’s ballroom, which really got the heart pumping. A sit-down was in order afterwards and the ship’s planetarium is the hottest ticket. It’s the largest at sea and is the perfect place to lie back and ponder not just our starry universe but also how incredible it is that a liner even has a planetarium!

Cocktails are also a Cunard classic. The most famed is the ‘Transatlantic Love Affair’ served in the Commodore Club. Ingredients include sherry, gin and prosecco. The piece de resistance is when the barman sets light to it. 

Then there’s afternoon tea served by white-gloved waiters and accompanied by a harpist. The signature scones with clotted cream are divine.

There’s a romance about the Queen Mary 2 that no other ship captures. This is classic cruising at its finest and life on board often feels like a scene from a movie. Indeed, the ship has a wall of fame featuring the Hollywood greats that have sailed on it (and its predecessors) over the years, from Clark Gable to Elizabeth Taylor to Charlie Chaplin. Better still, this is a ship that knows how to party and that’s where the film ends, with some boogying in the nightclub followed by a high-octane Broadway-style theatre show.

Two nights is a good taster, but I was left wanting more. And the great news is that more is on the cards. Stay tuned for Cunard’s brand new ship Queen Anne, coming to our seas in May 2024.

This hotel’s top-floor two-bedroom apartment offers breathtaking panoramic views of the coastline and the Diamond Head volcanic cone beyond.

Penthouse Suite, Edition Times Square, New York City – From $15,000 per night

The towering Times Square Edition, which sits within the portfolio of hotels masterminded by famed hotelier and former Studio 54 co-owner Ian Schrager, offers a lofty penthouse boasting prime views of Times Square and the Hudson River.

In keeping with the rest of the five-star hotel, the 1300 sq ft suite features slick contemporary furnishings in sandy, cream and white tones, with floor-to-ceiling windows allowing for plenty of natural light. 

Perks include a plush king bed, a natural stone bathroom with an enclosed rain shower and deep soaking tub and custom-made bathroom amenities made from luxury perfumer Le Labo. 

But the pièce de résistance is the penthouse’s outdoor balcony, which makes for the ultimate spot for an Instagram shot or two.   

The five-star 516ft-tall Times Square Edition, which was in the works for more than eight years and opened in 2019, took shape as part of an $800million-plus development project. Schrager’s aim was to inject a bit of sexy and chic into Times Square. 

Other attractive features of the hotel include a club where weekly performances are held, an exotic palm-filled terrace restaurant and a state-of-the-art fitness club with sky-high views.

TriBeCa Penthouse, The Greenwich Hotel, New York City – From $18,000 per night

Hollywood legend De Niro opened this celeb-favored hotel in his home city in 2008. 

Architect David Rockwell designed the project to the actor’s personal taste, which Wallpaper magazine said he defined as ‘masculinity and comfort, executed with meticulous, refined craftsmanship.’

‘It was a really good, collaborative project,’ Rockwell said. ‘Bob (De Niro) wanted the hotel to fit into the fabric of TriBeCa, so we started looking at brick treatments, among other elements.’

There’s an eclectic feel inside the hotel and none of the 88 rooms and suites are the same apart from the beds, which are from UK manufacturer Savoir. 

The most luxurious accommodation offerings are the three penthouses, with the sprawling TriBeCa pad coming in at $18,000 per night. 

The swanky suite, beloved by celebrities, features three bedrooms, which all lead through to a picturesque terrace space dripping with wisteria.

Other highlights include a large living room with a minimalist custom stone fireplace, a large skylight in the main corridor and an upper terrace decked out with an outdoor wood-burning fireplace, an 18-person table for al fresco dining, and a heated spa pool. 

In terms of the hotel’s restaurant, De Niro sticks to what he knows best. Locanda Verde, headed up by Andrew Carmellini serves up Italian comfort food beloved by everyone from Kendall Jenner to the Sussexes. Another draw is the hotel’s slick basement gym and Japanese-inspired spa, complete with a lantern-lit swimming pool.

Despite the name, the hotel is not near Greenwich Village and instead on the edge of De Niro’s favorite neighborhood, TriBeCa.

Penthouse Suite, Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel, California – $25,000 per night
