In my opinion, this is the best mid-tier hotel option in the Financial District. It is just steps away from the World Trade Center, Wall Street and Whole Foods. The rooms are beautifully appointed, and if you stay in a corner room facing Trinity Chur...
I love the Eventi's ambiance. The property is located on a bustling street that is just steps from a Nordstrom's Rack and across the street from one of the luckiest lotto shops in the city. It has a solid gym with Peleton bikes, weighted hula hoops a...
If you stay on a higher floor, the views are simply gorgeous. I will say that I found the occasional sound of the metal contracting/expanding to be a bit unnerving. The engineer told me that it was common as the temperatures cooled off during the eve...
I like the curb appeal best at this Even Hotel in Manhattan. The gym has Peloton bikes and Woodway treadmills. I love the Even Hotel's wellness concept. This location is a short walk from Grand Central Terminal, Bryant Park and The Summit Vanderbilt.
Although I find the energy near this location to be a bit more “unpredictable," the Even experience inside the hotel is the same as its counterpart in Midtown East. The rooms are wonderful. There are a wealth of wellness offerings and I enjoy the sta...
If you're looking for a fun hotel that is close to a number of NYC landmarks, I offer the Moxy Downtown as a top choice. I enjoy the indoor basketball court, live DJ and cool atmosphere. The rooms are compact and clean. It's close to World Trade Cent...
The Hyatt Centric Wall Street is a quiet calming hotel property. The rooms are quite large for New York City, and I haven't ever had a bad view from a room. Additionally, the gym is more than adequate. I love its location on Water-just steps from the...
The first time I stayed at HY36 I vividly recalled the wonderful aromatherapy the property used in the lobby. The staff are always helpful. The rooms are beautifully appointed, and it is a short walk from Hudson Yards and Times Square.
I enjoy staying at this Westin property. Despite the busy check-in desk, there are always several personnel ready to move the queues along. I love the courtesy yoga passes and the large gym. Additionally, I enjoy the free breakfast/pastry options.
This Residence Inn is a nice solid option with free breakfast, washers and dryers on site and a nice collection of Peloton fitness equipment.
I love the opulence at the Lotte. Their gym was well appointed. It is steps from Saks, St. Patrick's Cathedral and Rockefeller Center.
I love this boutique hotel. I enjoyed the room layout and interior design. Merrion Row is located just steps from Times Square, Bryant Park and Rockefeller Center. The breakfast is great.
I enjoyed my stay at The Maritime Hotel. It is centrally located to the Chelsea Market, Starbucks Reserve, The Highland, Little Island and Pier 57. A nice, luxe property.
The Hyatt Union Square lobby has a calming energy. The rooms are well appointed. And, the hotel's on-site restaurant has a wonderful apple crisp.
If you want to stay at a hotel property not too far from Bryant Park and Herald Square, Refinery Hotel is a solid choice. The industrial chic design is a nod to the property's past as a hat factory. For those that enjoy a lively crowd, the hotel's ro...
The Motto Chelsea is a new hotel property in the Chelsea neighborhood. The rooms are clean, albeit small, and smartly designed. The hotel property is conveniently located and a short walk away from Herald Square.
